Chelsea players must improve or I'll play the kids, insists Jose Mourinho after poor start

Jose Mourinho has delivered a stinging attack on the ‘motivation, desire and commitment’ of his Chelsea players.
Mourinho
let rip as he returned to Porto in the Champions League, and warned
senior stars he would discard them in favour of the club’s young players
if they did not improve.
Chelsea have won only two of their first seven Barclays Premier League games in the defence of their title.

‘Clearly
it’s an attitude perspective of some individuals,’ blasted Mourinho.
‘And when you have individuals with that unstable attitude in terms of
motivation, desire and commitment, you will pay.
‘There
are two sorts of champions: champions who win something — and there are
lots of them — and champions who during their career win one, two,
three, four, five, 10 or 20 titles.
‘It’s
difficult to win every season but you can be a serial champion in your
approach and attitude. This is the problem we have at this moment. We
have champions, but not serial champions.
‘We
are in an open situation. It is difficult to win the Premier League and
Champions League, but possible. If the season goes in one direction and
becomes closed, and we can’t win, I will go just with the kids. I am
ruthless.
‘I
have very good players, players I like as players, and I like their
human qualities. It is very good group of guys but “untouchables” in
football? Only consistency can give you that status.’
