Harry Redknapp: 'Chelsea are not boring'

Harry Redknapp praises Jose Mourinho's style of football and organisation, after critics labelled Chelsea 'boring'.

Harry Redknapp has praised Jose Mourinho's style of football and organisation, after critics labelled Chelsea 'boring'.

Despite winning the league, Chelsea and Mourinho's tactics were questioned after the Portuguese manager saw out a 0-0 draw at the Emirates earlier last month, prompting Arsenal fans to chant "boring, boring Chelsea" at the end of the game.

However, the former Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers boss salutes Mourinho's consistency and branded him the "best manager in the Premier League".

"He's different class, I think he's fantastic. People get bored because he keeps winning. I don't see how they're boring, you've got Oscar, you've got Willian, you've got Hazard, is there more skilful players around than them? It's three little players that have all got incredible ability, I don't see how they're boring," Redknapp told Goal.com.

"They've got real flair players in their team, they don't give goals away because they've got proper defenders; they've got the best centre-half in the league in John Terry, they've got a fantastic goalkeeper and they don't concede any goals.

"That's not boring, that's good organisation. Mourinho knows how to win football matches, he's a very, very clever guy and he's the best manager in the Premier League."

As of Sunday, Chelsea will have led the Premier League division for a record 274 days and will look to finish with a victory as they face Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.
