Needs to be slipped into Brendogs next presser.
"I think Edens a fantastic player. You can't expect one of the best young attacking talents in the world to be defending, you need to let them play football".

Mourinho has been reminding everyone how wonderful he is. The tool.
An animated Jose Mourinho defended his managerial record today following criticism after his third Champions League semi-final defeat.
Chelsea were ousted by Atletico Madrid after a 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge and some have criticised the 51 year-old’s record in light of the money spent and talent available.
“Last year, I won Super Cup against Barcelona,” he said.
“I'm going to tell you something about my career.”
“In 2010, I reached the maximum of my career, I won everything. This is the maximum. In the first season, I won the cup against the best team in the world, I finished second to the best team in the world, and lost the semi-final to best team in the world, then we won the league against the best team in the world, with all the records.”
“We lost in the semi-finals of the Champions League [against Bayern] when two of the best penalty-takers in the world missed penalties.
“The next season, we beat Barca in all the big matches, and lost the Champions League semi-final by one goal.”
“In my fourth season, I go to Champions League semi-final, I fight for title until last moment, so these are four bad seasons of my career?”
“I got wrong by doing year after year like nobody else did. You arrive into a level where finish second is not good, semi-final is not good.”
Mourinho believes that the basis of criticism is the fact that he is held accountable to different standards than all other managers.
“I'm guilty of that [being judged by higher standards], and I'm proud to be guilty of that.”
I wonder whether Abramovich would sanction a sale of Hazard if it came down to it.
Mourinho seems to hate flair players with a passion. He obviously prefers direct wingers i.e. Ronaldo, Di Maria, Robben, Duff, or work horses i.e. Pandev, Eto'o,
It's a mile away from the football Abramovich craves i.e. Rodgers, Guardiola. If he wants to see a power house grinding results out, then stick with Mourinho. If he wants a bit more, then he's going to have to do something.
