Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has promised fans thrilling football this season.

Mourinho intends to switch back to his tried and trusted 4-3-3 system, which won Chelsea two titles in succession, and he says Florent Malouda, Arjen Robben, Joe Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips will provide the width...and the entertainment.

Mourinho said: "I want to get better results and be more entertaining.

"I don't agree when people say 'this team played fantastic and didn't win'. I just don't agree. For me that's the speech of the loser.

"I don't agree also when people say 'this team played very bad and won'.

"It happens once in a lifetime that you play very badly and win because you're lucky.

"Normally the results are balanced. Last season we played very well as a team with the resources available - but not with the same flair and the same speed and dynamics as in previous years.

"This season with the players we have available we have to go for it."
