4. Failed Tactics
Mourinho knows how to read a match and get the required result. Chelsea scored fewer goals in the latter half of last season but they still won the league due to a well organized defence that saw them concede fewer goals. He however couldn’t get the best out of his players this season and seemed confused on a number of occasions as he wasn’t sure whom to field or bench. The substitutes rarely made an impact and he hadn’t found his preferred starting line-up yet. While this isn’t the only reason for Chelsea’s failure, it has contributed to their dismal performance in the league so far.
