Mourinho reveals the FOUR Chelsea players who have underperformed this season

Jose Mourinho admits Cesc Fabregas is not in his best form, but also said the Spanish player is not the only player in the team struggling for best form.

The former Arsenal captain, who was instrumental in helping to secure Mourinho’s third Premier League title, has suffered a dramatic loss of form and was dropped to the bench for the decisive midweek Champions League group stage clash against Porto.

But Mourinho believes the Spain international is far from alone in having underperformed this season, singling out three other Chelsea stalwarts.

Mourinho said: “If you go player-by-player, last season - Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, John Terry - you could say were fantastic.


“This season it is more difficult to say this player is being magnificent.

"Normally players and the team have an intimate relationship.

“I don’t see Cesc differently, but what I see is that every minute the professionalism is there and he is never afraid to have the ball or to be afraid to make a mistake. I completely trust him.”
