Jose Mourinho thinks that Frank Lampard made some wrong choices in his Chelsea team selection after the team's 4-0 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. The Portuguese national football coach and manager also criticized Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount's performances.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Manchester United last Sunday in the first half due to a penalty shot. After the break, Rashford and Anthony Martial made a strike within a couple of minutes to place Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side three ahead and long before Daniel James found the net after coming on as a replacement. After the match, Frank Lampard underlined that Chelsea was missing big and international players.
However, Jose Mourinho does not feel the same. According to him, Oliver Giroud, N'Golo Kante, and Marcos Alonso should have started the game for Chelsea to be able to have more experience over Manchester United. The former Manchester United and Chelsea manager also think William should have been with the matchday squad of Chelsea have he not missed the match because of an injury.
Jose Mourinho also revealed to Sky Sports that it is not about who is senior or not senior. He added that the one who deserves to be on the field is the one who played since the start of the season and the ones who are ready to give more if William is injured. The football coach and manager also underlined that players do not to be healthy to play between 20 and 30 minutes in the field.
The popular Portuguese national also noted that any player could come from a three-week injury and arrive if he has the right mentality and is ready. Mourinho also said that if Kante can play roughly 30 to 35 minutes, he can begin the game; if he lasts for an hour, then he lasts for an hour. The former coach also stated that it is hard to say because he was not there, and it is possible that the reality might be totally different.
Jose Mourinho also shared that one of the things that he is critical when he is the manager and critics tell something against him. He revealed that he would always think that they do not know what is really going on. It is the first match of the season that happened to be at home and people are on fire and waiting for something good to happen.
Mourinho added that a little bit of experience on the Chelsea side would really do well with the team. He suggested that the team should look at the performance of Tammy Abraham, mason Mount, and Andreas Christensen and for matches of this caliber, you have to have a little bit more, the former manager said.
