Premier League: Jose Mourinho started Chelsea mind games early with Frank Lampard comments

Jose Mourinho’s remarks about Chelsea earlier in the season could work to his advantage when he faces the Blues with Tottenham this weekend In November Chelsea were flying high after an excellent start to the season and were gearing up to face Manchester City.

City came into the clash off the back of a devastating 3-1 loss to title rivals Liverpool and it was suggested that Chelsea could upset the defending Premier League champions.

However, Mourinho was not convinced claiming the young team’s inexperience may leave them found wanting against elite opposition.

Jose Mourinho saying

“In the first weekend I was nervous and I'm still nervous with the big matches,” he said. “I think fanciful effort. The kids coming into the team are fitting amazingly well with the top class players like Willian and Kante.”

I think really great work by Frank. But they lost twice against Manchester United they lost against Liverpool at home. They conceded four goals against Ajax and I’m very curious to see Chelsea in the next match at the Etihad.

I’m curious to see if they found that great empathy between the good football they play and the pragmatism that the top teams must have to play against top teams. When they find that I think they have a great team for the future. I do not believe in them to finish top two but I believe very seriously for them to finish the top four.

Ultimately, Mourinho’s reservations were proven correct with City winning the match 2-1 after some defensive lapses by Chelsea. Since then Lampard’s men have been on a poor run losing three of the four league games that followed.

Now, with Chelsea gearing up to face Mourinho’s Tottenham the Blues will want to attention their former boss’ cautioning if they are to emerge with all three points.
