Mourinho’s message is clear

Crystal Palace 1 Chelsea 0

Jose Mourinho is one of those people who can kill you with a compliment; so when he insists he has no fears about how his team will play against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, despite a miserable defeat against Crystal Palace at the weekend, then make sure you listen carefully to the tone of voice, watch how the eyes narrow and study the fleetingly sardonic smile that flickers across his face.

Make no mistake, Mourinho is not a happy man.
