It is quite simple really and there were nobody that really doubted Swansea were the better team on the day. The evidence of the game backs it up, the match stats back it up and many of the comments after the game backed it up.
But not for the Chelsea manager who would get far more respect if he actually admitted that his team were second best on the day. It isn’t a difficult concept to understand but it is clearly beyond the arrogant one who goes hand in hand with Chelsea perfectly.
Speaking after the game. the deluded one said “They didn’t have chances against 11. The team was playing very, very well in the first half.” This is of course despite the fact that the match stats said we had more chances on target in the first half and they needed to be well saved as well. And of course it ignores the dollop of luck for his side’s second goal
“My team created, scored and played beautifully in the first half.
“In the second, in one minute, it was a penalty, red card and the goal – 2-2.
“If you have 10 men and are winning you can defend well and try to find a strategy but to play with 10 men and try to win the game is more difficult.
“I would say we were the best team with 11 players and with 10 we fought hard, some fighting at the limit of their condition.
“I don’t want to talk about the penalty incidents.”
To be fair Jose isn’t helped by a BBC pundit who said that Chelsea were the only side trying to win the game in the second half after the red card which just about sums up the bias by some pundits towards the ‘big’ teams
The ‘big’ teams that are made to look a little ordinary by us.
