Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho is Their Edge in the Title Race
While bringing back Jose Mourinho doesn’t guarantee Chelsea their first Premier League title this season, it does give them an edge when it comes to the managerial position, clearly superior to those manning the job with the challenging teams.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Can’t Stop Lying & Manipulating
We get it. A manager has to stand up for his team, his players and his tactics. Jose Mourinho doesn’t actually believe his team was better in the European Super Cup. He doesn’t believe Ramires shouldn’t have been sent off. But he can’t change his way of approaching failure. By blaming it on others, and making himself look like a man that UEFA, through the referees, are out to get.

Chelsea FC – Eden Hazard Shines Amid Tactical Brutality
There’s now doubt Chelsea, with or without Jose Mourinho are a very talented side with Eden Hazard looking like the best of the bench when he’s free to use his creativity and skill, but it’s quite easy to shine when most of the tactical approach of your team is to deliberately hurt opponents at every opportunity and hope to get away with it.

Chelsea FC – Eden Hazard Continues to be Suffocated by Tactics
Even though it seemed Chelsea and especially their manager, Jose Mourinho, were quite pleased with the goalless draw they managed to produce, the defensive selections and the neutralizing of creative players like Eden Hazard or Juan Mata (who didn’t even play) do create some sense of concern about the kind of football the club is going to produce this season.

Manchester United vs Chelsea – Jose Mourinho & David Moyes Afraid & Boring
Championships aren’t won in the clashes between the big boys; they’re won through consistency against the smaller clubs. Manchester United wanted to win but weren’t good enough. Chelsea and Jose Mourinho came to get a 0-0 draw, and came out as the happier side, even if they’re no longer undefeated.

Jose Mourinho Uses Wayne Rooney to Diminish David Moyes
It’s hard to tell if Jose Mourinho is actually after Wayne Rooney and wants to sign the Manchester United player, or perhaps the Chelsea manager is only after one thing – getting under the skin of David Moyes.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Acting Like the Biggest Bully in Town
Jose Mourinho brings an endless amount of swagger to his new-old job as Chelsea manager, acting like he owns the place. Nothing that happened at Real Madrid is affecting the love affair the English press has with the Portuguese manager, who is enjoying every minute of his return to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea FC – Eden Hazard & Juan Mata Don’t Look Good This Early
One of the easiest things to notice about this Chelsea team is the depth, especially when compared to last season. But a deep squad doesn’t mean much when its two best players, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata, have failed to put in a meaningful performance that’ll justify their place in the lineup and their recognition as stars.

Jose Mourinho is Right – The Transfer Window Should End Sooner
Not all the leagues in Europe begin on the same date, which is why there’s a “universal” summer transfer window deadline, but the ridiculosness of teams having to sell their players three or four matches into the season is a situation that needs to be changed, and Jose Mourinho, who usually loves to focus on himself and his club, is absolutley right in his call to change this absurd situation.

Chelsea FC – Romelu Lukaku Should Be Starting, Not Fernando Torres
There is no clear number one striker for Chelsea, but there should be someone Jose Mourinho trusts more. His selection of Fernando Torres in the opening weekend of the Premier League while leaving Romelu Lukaku on the bench might have been the easier choice to make, but also the wrong one.
