Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has blasted his players despite being top of the league undefeated this season, Mirror reports.
The Portuguese manager was far from happy with the Blues’ performance in their 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers at home, in which his side were in second gear for much of the clash.
And 1-0 up at half-time, Mourinho vent out his frustrations.

“At half-time he was frustrated and told us so,’’ revealed Willian. “He was not happy and told us we hadn’t played well and had to do better.
“It was dangerous for us, to be only 1-0 up. So we had to improve. And he was right because even then QPR came on to the pitch for the second half and scored their goal to get level.
Chelsea did get a winner via an Eden Hazard penalty, but Mourinho remained unhappy although admitting it had been a strange week.
“We have to be more consistent and play better,” he said. “Yes, the week was very strange. You play Manchester United on the Sunday, on the Monday you travel.
“Some of the players had two days off. Some of the others had to go to Shrewsbury immediately. Some of them in Shrewsbury played 90 minutes. Some had a free day the next day but it was a working day for the others.
‘’So it was a very strange week to work and be focused. We tried, but the individual performances weren’t there and neither was the collective performance. Do QPR have some responsibility for that? I think they do. You have to give credit to a team that comes and is so well organised from a defensive point of view like they were.
“In the end we deserved to win. The result could’ve been more. It’s important to win when you don’t play so well.”
