5. Chelsea’s redemption marred by reputation
Over the past few weeks, you’d have to have had your head firmly under the sand to not be aware of Mourinho’s constant sneer towards Premier League match officials. And what has now become something of a tradition from the Chelsea boss was also evident after this match. This time, Mourinho’s common criticism of decisions has been headed towards European referees.
The Portuguese clearly has a point, with the foul on Cesc Fabregas as blatant as ever. But the manager’s reputation is beginning to be the heart of daily headlines. Perhaps focusing on results instead of the regrets would be a better approach for Mourinho to undertake. Everyone is entitled to a whine, but at the end of the day, that will ultimately not reverse the original decision.
