Chelsea defeat 'out of our hands', says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho cited a lack of respect for his Chelsea
players after claiming their defeat to Liverpool was not
under their control.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claims his side's defeat to
Liverpool was "out of our hands" and has alleged a lack of
respect towards his players.

Ramires put the home side in front at Stamford Bridge but two
goals from Philippe Coutinho and one from Christian Benteke
sealed a 3-1 win, Jurgen Klopp's first in the Premier League.

Mourinho refused to offer comment on any issue surrounding
the game or his Chelsea future when speaking to television
reporters after the match but was keen to take the blame away
from his players during his media conference.

"I'd like to listen more than being questioned," he said initially,
before stating: "There are things that are out of our hands.

"Two minutes extra time [at the end of the first half], we
concede the goal on two minutes 35 seconds.

"Then what happened in the second half, everything, is a
consequence of some crucial moments.

"Moments that the stadium saw, the players more than see, the
players felt it, from now, what happens is just a consequence.

"I have some players really sad in the dressing room and I am
full of respect for them. We see it match after match.
"As professionals they are not getting the respect they deserve. I
don't think we, myself and them, are not going to have a great
Saturday dinner, even families for sure.
"They have the same feelings that we have and I'm really sorry
with that lack of respect for professionals."
Asked to explain his remarks about respect, Mourinho added:
"You are all intelligent guys. If you want to write, you write.
"Next press conference I will bring you nice glasses, maybe you
see the game in a better way."
Mourinho was incensed on the touchline when referee Mark
Clattenburg refused to issue a second yellow card to Lucas
Leiva for a blatant trip on Ramires, but he refused to comment
on the officials for fear of another Football Association sanction.
"What do you think? You are not punished by the FA. I'm
punished if I tell you," he said.
"Now I go home, I go find a sad family. I will try to watch some
of the rugby [World Cup final] and disconnect a little bit from
this.
"Then I will start preparing the training session for tomorrow
morning and the game for Wednesday [against Dynamo Kiev]."
