Defeat wont be a crisis - Jose Jose Mourinho expects Chelsea to lose a game this season but he is confident that it will not lead to a crisis at the club. The Blues boss has seen his side make a storming start to the new Premier League campaign with nine wins and two draws from their opening 11 matches to already sit four points clear at the top of the table. Chelseas good form has resulted in suggestions they could emulate the Invincibles of Arsenal from the 2003-04 season when Arsene Wengers champions went through an entire season without tasting defeat in the league. Mourinho has been quick to play down his sides hopes of copying the Gunners, but he does feel that they will not let a defeat drag them down. He said: We believe that, when we lose points, the next game we are going to play well again. Against Maribor in the Champions League, we lost two points, but in the next game we were not in crisis. We were at Liverpool to play well again. I dont believe therell be a Chelsea crisis in the season. I believe Chelsea will lose points and matches but not in a crisis of results. I truly believe in our ability. We dont have pressure to lead. The pressure is for the ones who are coming behind. I always felt the pressure when I was behind, not when I was on top and Ive always been competing for titles. To be first is easier than to be second. If youre first, you think just about yourself.
