Jose Mourinho has tried it all. He has criticised his players and questioned their attitude. He has then back pedalled and killed them with kindness, defending them after defeats.
He has dropped some players and left others back in London when the team was in Portugal.
On Saturday, he went for restoring club captain John Terry to the line-up, to no avail; he was hopelessly exposed again.
Then he brought on Nemanjic Matic at half time and took him off again after 28 minutes. Humiliated, Matic wasn’t even offered a handshake from his manager.
But it doesn’t really what he tries, what trick he tries to pull. None of them are working at present. Chelsea are abysmal. They have lost four times in the Premier League this season, won just twice and conceded 17 goals. Last season they lost three, and conceded 32 all season.
This is not so much a title defence as a humiliating abdication before the autumn leaves have stated to fall.
