Jose Mourinho: Chelsea 'minus one out of ten' in first half

Chelsea manager Jose Mourniho rues his side's first-half performance in their 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that his team 'did not play' in the first half of their 2-2 draw against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Newcastle went into half time with a 1-0 lead and Mourniho could not explain why his team performed so poorly before coming back in the second half to draw level.

Mourinho told Sky Sports News: "It is a point that is what we got. Better than to lose but I am never happy when I don't win matches.

"In the first half from 0-10, we were -1. Minus one. It was that bad. In the second half we played very well. Ramires and Willian moved the game, they brought more intensity, were much more dynamic. Newcastle could not cope with it.

"I have to try to understand why they can play so bad in one half and so well in the other. We were bad in every aspect of the game. Poor individual performances and it was impossible to be a competitive team."

Chelsea will look to bounce back as they head to Portugal to take on Mourinho's former side FC Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday.
