Jose Mourinho reacts to Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Bournemouth
Chelsea threw everything at the Cherries, but ultimately couldn’t find a goal, leaving them to suffer an eighth league defeat of the season.

“We didn’t deserve to lose”, the Portuguese said. There’s been a lot of question marks about our defending this season but we’ve answered a few questions, which is really pleasing for everybody. “The problem is that our objective is to finish in the top four – maybe now we have to think about top six”. “However, I think that we should think about the first six positions after this result”.
No wonder then that Bournemouth’s 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday was acclaimed by manager Eddie Howe as “the best individual result in the club’s history”.
Cesc Fabregas and Oscar were yet again anonymous and lacklustre in midfield and came for criticism from Mourinho at full time, even suggesting that the duo’s performance played into the hands of their opponents, “Today, again, we had a couple from whom you need more and expect more, and they don’t give enough”, said the two-time Champions League winning manager.
United were unable to follow Leicester and Arsenal’s lead as their goal-scoring problems resurfaced in a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham that left them level on points with City in fourth place.
Mourinho, who signed a four-year deal until June 2019 in August, told Chelsea TV: “It’s a knockout game”.
“It’s a big result for the players and the club”.
“Yes it was a penalty (the handball) and the goal was offside but the referee made a mistake and the linesman made a mistake”.
Costa came on as a half-time substitute after being left out of Chelsea’s previous game at Tottenham.
“In the second half, we did more than enough to score and to win”.

“Again I feel that we don’t have the right to ask the club for players”, he said. If you are in the box you have to attack the ball’.
“You have always got to fancy your chances, 0-0 away to Chelsea late on I think they are more nervous than we are”. We were aggressive, created chances and had crosses and a clear penalty that the referee did not see.
“It gives the players some reward for how hard they’ve worked”, Howe added. We have been hit with a lot of things – the injuries and some dominant performances that haven’t won games – and it has been tough.
