Mourinho- the Refs a cheat (again? yawn)

Mourinho rages after loss

A seething Jose Mourinho invited scrutiny on the performance of referee Phil Dowd

after witnessing his Chelsea side lose 5-3 at Tottenham in a result which wiped out their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

Harry Kane scored twice as Spurs ended a 10-match winless run against the Blues, who now share the Premier League lead with a Manchester City side who have erased an eight-point deficit to Mourinho's men.

The Chelsea manager complained of a "clear campaign"

against his side following Sunday's draw at Southampton, but escaped Football Association disciplinary action.

He again felt aggrieved by two decisions he felt went against his side and may now face FA censure.

The first was when Jan Vertonghen fell and brushed the ball with his hand after blocking Oscar and the second when Mourinho felt Eden Hazard had been hauled down by last man Federico Fazio.

Despite accepting Hazard's version of events and that no foul had been made, Mourinho used the incident to highlight Dowd's display.

Mourinho told BT Sport: "Hazard, honest as always, tells me in his opinion it was not a foul or a red card, so that's good, in spite of Mr Dowd is too slow to go with that ball, he was like 40 yards away, he made the right decision.

"The decision (that) was like 10 metres away, he couldn't make and that's a decision that is the crucial moment of the game."

That was a reference to the Vertonghen incident, which came when Chelsea led and Mourinho was unwilling to forget, even though many thought it incidental in a game where Chelsea conceded five goals.

Anthony Taylor booked Cesc Fabregas for a dive, rather than award a penalty at Southampton and Mourinho suggested two decisions in the last two games cost his side maximum points.

At the post-match media conference, Mourinho added: "With the result 1-0, one clear action could make it 2-0.

"Normally, at 2-0, the result would be completely different and the history of the game would be different. I'm more shocked with other things than to concede five goals.

"Where I am shocked is that, in three days, we had two incredible decisions that punished us in a very hard way."

Mourinho feels Hazard is being kicked routinely and unfairly and needs protection.

"People in love with football in this country, people must be in love with Eden Hazard," Mourinho said. "The way, match after match, he's being punished by opponents and he's not being protected by referees, maybe one day we won't have Eden Hazard.

"It's one, two, three, four, five, 10 aggressive fouls against him. They kick and kick and kick, and the kid resists.

He's a very honest guy in the way he plays, but that's another problem."

People that love football dislike Mourinho and his boring, cheating tactics. Both decisions were spot on, proven by TV, and he needs to be hauled in front of the FA. Or is he to big, like Ferguson, to be censured.

The hand ball was accidental at worst...

And the centre half played the ball so no free kick there. Even Hazzard jumped straight back up.

It pains me to say it but its about time Mourhino started looking at his selections and his substitutions instead of bleating on about decisions that cant be changed.

Last night OSCAR and WILLIAN were pathetic and them mixed in with a poor game from MATIC was the reason Spurs scored three of their goals....

FABREGAS looks tired and off his game after a couple of great months

Going forward COSTA was ok in the first half but LORD LUCAN would have been easier to find in the second half,

Why bring on SALAH who has only played bit parts in two games so far when he has DROGBA and REMY both proven scorers on the bench....

Jose is getting it wrong and then trying to blame everyone else....

Last night a few of our players didnt turn up and that what he needs to address.....

I don't think Fabregas suits playing as far forward as he is currently. I saw him in the box more times against Spurs then I did in his career at Arsenal.
