Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits he was grateful to have new signing Alex on the bench for yesterday's 1-1 draw at Liverpool.
"I accept that when they had Peter Crouch, Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel and Fernando Torres together at the end, and I have a giant (Alex) on my bench then I send that giant in and tell him 'it is your time'. I tried to close the door then and go home with a point, and it is two points Liverpool do not get.
"I knew then that Arsenal had drawn and Manchester United lost, so then I feel the point won is justified."
