Mourinho's Love For Pensioner: The Cause of Chelsea's problem

Despite his wealth of experience in football, Jose Mourinho ( The Special One)have had it bad so far in the 2015/2016 season premier league where his club's performance has put a lot of questions to his technical know-how. Critics feel his love for pensioners is the cause of his teams decline in performance.

Mourinho's first season in Chelsea after his stint with Real Madrid saw him bring Samuel Eto  a pensioner to Chelsea for a season, Chelsea finished second on the table and the club's hope seemed high. The second season saw him buy Didier Drogba another pensioner, whom all were sure had already won everything with the club, whatever reason why Mourinho called for retirees was seen by his fans as his "Love for Experienced Players". The season finished with Chelsea winning the league title and fans hailed him.

Mourinho's success in his second season probably gave him the conviction to go for two notable players who were perceived by many as pensioner, Pedro Rodriguez from Barcelona and Radamel Falcao from Manchester United.

Pedro had lost the first team's shirt in Barcelona to Suarez, while Van Gaal who was waiting for an opportunity to offload Falcao quickly grabbed the opportunity and bundled him to the Portuguese tactician who bought him and  included him as part of his plan.

So far, Chelsea has lost 5 matches (15 points) to Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton and West Ham, two of the matches were at home while 3 away. Bookmakers envisage future loses for Chelsea while his policy of embracing tired legs seem to have put the team in their current position.

With the present performance of Chelsea, fans of other clubs now see Chelsea as a team organizing a kind of 'Promo Galore'. with this present performance, people keep asking, any hope for Chelsea?
