Rumours are rife that the under-fire Portuguese coach will be axed should the Blues fail to beat the Reds at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are still struggling to find their footing this Premier League season, sitting in a dismal 15th place in the table following another embarrassing defeat, this time at the hands of West Ham.
“It’s a period he’s faced at other times in his career, but one he has the knowledge and understanding of how to address that and to turn that round”.
Mourinho’s Chelsea sides had always been regarded as one of the Premier League’s most hard teams to officiate, Hackett added.
The Chelsea manager’s charge is “in relation to his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area at half-time” during his side’s 2-1 defeat.
Mourinho has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain should he be given the sack at Chelsea but Eto dismissed the rumours.
“It ” s my firm belief that there needs to be an urgent summit meeting between Jose Mourinho, Bruce Buck the chairman of Chelsea, Richard Scudamore, the chief executive of the Premier League, and Mike Riley, general manager of PGMOL.
“He is the best manager the club has ever had”, said the Welshman. To put into perspective how poor the Blues’ start is, they are now one point worse off than Liverpool were under Roy Hodgson in 2010. The list includes the likes of Andre Villas-Boas, Carlo Ancelotti, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Roberto Di Matteo, who helped them win the Champions League in 2012.

“We came back, we showed good character and I think our performance showed we are still positive and trying hard, it’s just that little moments are not going our way”.
