Chelsea boss Mourinho unhappy with
squad depth
tribalfooball.com - December 23, 2006
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists his squad isn't deep enough
after their scratchy defeat of Wigan Athletic yesterday.
"Everyone thinks we have the perfect squad, but we don't," Mourinho
said after watching a side lacking John Terry and Petr Cech make
hard work of winning at Wigan.
"We only have three central defenders and when John Terry is
injured we only have two. We no longer have the best goalkeeper in
the world, either. We have no Joe Cole, we have suspensions, red
cards and bad decisions against us. If we get any more injuries we
are in big trouble and we already have Khalid Boulahrouz
suspended.
"Manchester United are top of the table with no injuries, no
suspensions and no referees like the one we had at Tottenham.
Everything is going fantastically for them. It is the opposite to
last season, when everything was fantastic for us and they had all
the problems - Paul Scholes' eye injury, Ryan Giggs being out for a
while. This season we are having the problems."
