MOURINHO: "I didn't like my team today!"

Jose Mourinho has pulled no punches with his post match interview after defeat to Newcastle. He admitted that Chelsea were not the best team and that he didn't like his Chelsea team today!

"I didn't like it. I think we deserved to lose.

We had a couple of good chances to score the equaliser, but they were in the game more than us, they fought more than us and they were much more committed than us. They were the best team on the pitch. If someone had to win, I think it was Newcastle, not us.

The game was quite easy to play in the first half, but we were not sharp, we were not intense with the ball. So we let the game go, waiting for a chance to score a goal or a chance to concede and lose it, and that is exactly what I was telling the players at half-time.

I don't need to lose a match to be aware of (how competitive the league is). It is something I know and pass on to my players every game. I know exactly how it is. The race is there for everybody. If Arsenal win (against Liverpool) today, they open the gap. I didn't like my team today."

Straight to the point and honest from Jose!
