2. Jose Mourinho’s first instinct is still not to lose
Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge insisting he was a changed man following his experiences at Inter Milan and Real Madrid but the Portuguese’s instincts remain the same. Chelsea went to Manchester United without a striker earlier in the season and ground out a draw and the Blues were again happy to take a point at the Emirates, prompting jeers of ‘boring, boring Chelsea’ from the Gunners’ faithful.
While it could be argued that Roman Abramovich did not spend £1bn to witness dour stalemates, in this unpredictable Premier League season, Mourinho’s ability to get results could prove crucial.
