“I’m concerned, of course”.

They face a Champions League fixture next week against FC Porto and Courtois is sure Chelsea have the talent to fight their way back to a successful season.
“Chelsea are not playing with the same level that they played in the past seasons but the Blues have an enormous squad that is capable of beating any European rival”. If you analyse matches, you can clearly identify a few players who are not able to be consistent all the time.
“To get results, you have to be consistent, and we have not been consistent because of some individualities”.
“Chelsea will win matches and come out of that area, that is not the point, that is not the problem”. “Well, we have a good striker in Diego, a good striker in Rémy”, he said. And I think it is a clear handball and penalty with the score at 0-0. “They were taking time, calling for the medical department and drinking water like it is basketball time out”.
He said: “The only time we had a contact with the ball (in the box) was the Matic one but it was hard for him with his mask”. I can just work and that is what I will do tomorrow to try and get us the result on Wednesday to get through to the next phase of the Champions League. “When it’s 0-0 after 80 minutes they were more nervous than us because we don’t expect anything out of these games really”.
The self-described “Special One” had seemed to have weathered the storm that engulfed the club in the autumn as the champions tumbled towards the relegation zone in one of the most spectacular swings of fortune ever seen in English football.
‘People must feel responsibilities. “The responsibility for the bad moment is my responsibility and the players’ responsibility”.
“The big thing for Mourinho is Europe, he loves the European competition and [owner Roman] Abramovich just adores it, so if they lose against Porto, then he could be on his way”.
“We had enough chances and more half-chances”.

Chelsea also had a penalty decision turned down and Murray was slightly offside as he knocked the ball past Thibaut Courtois, who walked into the side for his first game after a two-month injury lay-off.
