Jose Chides Liverpool

Following Chelsea’s strolling win over a shoddy Tottenham, Mourinho took a moment to remind everyone all just how easy Liverpool have it at the moment:

“When we speak about the Champions League and the title race, we have to speak about Liverpool,” he said.

“Because Liverpool, since the beginning of the season, have one match every week. They rest, they prepare, they recover, they prepare, they play, they have a day off. This is a big, big, big advantage.”

Not an advantage like Chelsea’s seven-point lead at the top of the table, obviously, but an advantage all the same.

Then Mourinho also delivered a veiled reference to a certain unnamed striker who has a reputation to dramatic simulation …

“We had a big opportunity in the second minute of the game, when other players with other shirts would go for a penalty and a red card for the keeper.

“Hazard doesn’t do that. He tries to go away from the keeper and he misses from a difficult angle.

“But other players in this league, in that situation, they attack the keeper. I did not see a video of Eto’o and the penalty but I want to.

“But you know the kings of the penalties, you know where they are — and they’re not here.”

Hmm, where are they, Jose?
