Chelsea WILL lose this season but WON'T enter crisis mode says boss Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has sent an ominous warning to the rest of the Premier League by insisting there will be NO Chelsea crisis this season.

On the day when one publicity-seeking bookie paid out on his Blues winning the title, just 11 games into the season, the Stamford Bridge boss claimed there is NO pressure when you lead from the front.

With all of their traditional title rivals seemingly on the brink of crisis, unbeaten Chelsea appear bullet-proof.

Mourinho was in bullish mood on Friday after two weeks of R&R - adamant that Chelsea would not suffer a slump in form and in no mood to give a sucker an even break.

He said: "The thing that gives us confidence is the results we are getting are not occasional. They're because we're playing well.

"We believe that, when we lose points, the next game we are going to play well again.

"Against Maribor in the Champions League [earlier this month], we lost two points but in the next game we were not in crisis. We were at Liverpool to play well again.

"I don't believe there'll be a Chelsea crisis in the season. I believe Chelsea will lose points AND matches, but not in a crisis of results. I truly believe in our ability.

"We don't have pressure to lead. The pressure is for the ones who are coming behind. I always felt the pressure when I was behind, not when I was on the top and I've always been competing for titles. To be first is easier than to be second. If you're first, you think just about yourself."

Jose Mourinho: "Our football v West Brom was in another dimension."

Frank Sinclair: "When you speak to Chelsea players they are not talking about the championship, they are talking about taking it game by game"

Thierry Henry: "Chelsea can go the season unbeaten. They are winning, wins give you confidence. You basically think you can't lose."

Jake Cohen : Chelsea remains the only unbeaten team in Europe with at least one goal scored in every league match this season

Fun Fact : 14 out of the 17 teams in the Premier League are closer to the relegation zone than they are to Chelsea FC

I'm confident we could beat them today.

Our best chance would be in a final as their superior quality would probably come through over 2 legs. Even then it would bery very difficult. If we concede first then we're screwed because of their counter-attacking. If we score first we'd park the bus, invite them on to us and inevitably concede.

You have to consider the possibility that Mourinho didn't want to teach them anything at all..considering how ultra-competitive he is, that wouldn't be surprising.

His first "real" students might very well be his own players, namely the likes of Drogba and Terry, who will manage big names and teams probably only long after Mourinho hangs up his coat.
