It just keeps getting worse and worse for Jose Mourinho and Chelsea.
Liverpool added to Chelsea’s woes on Saturday by erasing an early deficit and scoring three unanswered goals in a 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge. Ramires put the struggling Blues ahead after just four minutes, but a Philippe Coutinho brace and Christian Benteke strike flipped the script and gave the Reds three road points.
Coutinho canceled out the early goal three minutes into first-half stoppage time, and found the back of the net again to put Jurgen Klopp’s men in front in the 74th minute. Benteke, who assisted on Coutinho’s winner, then added an insurance tally in the 83rd to ensure that there would be no comeback from Chelsea.
The defeat was Chelsea’s second in a row, and dropped the club to 15th place in the Premiership table. The Blues have 11 points through 11 matches, and the pressure continues to pile on Mourinho. Liverpool fans even chanted “You’re getting sacked in the morning” after Coutinho’s second tally.
Despite the bookies making him favourite to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked after the home defeat against Liverpool, the Chelsea manager insisted he is staying in his job.
When asked if he thought yesterday's defeat could be his last in charge, he snarled: "No, I don't."
Mourinho also hit back at suggestions that he may have 'lost' the Stamford Bridge dressing room.
He said: "I have no doubts. If you saw some individual performances below a normal level, there were not many. I would say there were, a maximum, a couple.
"Even these ones, they suffered because they are not able to do more. The team is together.”
