Mourinho hints at further Chelsea changes after disappointing Porto loss

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hinted at changes following the disappointing loss at the hands of FC Porto in the Champions League.


The Blues' manager has failed to arrest the drop in his team's form in the ongoing season and suggested that he's still trying to find his best eleven following their 2-1 defeat in Portugal on Tuesday night.

"No punishment. Just a decision, option," Mourinho said after the defeat when quizzed on why he left strikers Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao at home.

"When the team is not playing and winning matches on a regular basis, it's normal that you have to make changes.

"When you play a disaster it's easier to make drastic decisions. When you play like today and you don't get a result, it's more difficult.

"The result doesn't mean that you played bad. The big mistakes we made twice doesn't mean that the team defended badly."
