Strikerless Jose can’t let back five lose the plot too

It is not often that Jose Mourinho is lost for words but when it came to describing Chelsea’s poor defensive display in Paris on Wednesday night, you could sense the ‘special one’ had no answers to explain why the back five have crumbled in recent games.

Chelsea’s defence has been one of the major reasons why the club have remained front-runners in the challenge for the Premier League title this season which astounds considering the fact they have not got a proven goalscorer.

But following the manner of the 3-1 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, Mourinho will now have deep concerns over where it has all gone wrong.
