But when asked on Be In Sports whether the club will tolerate this current run, a defiant Mourinho replied: “I think they will”.
When asked why, he said: “Because I deserve.”
A typically prickly Mourinho, who has been in trouble with football authorities for his complaints over match officiating, was similiarly annoyed by a decision by referee Mark Clattenburg not to give Lucas Leiva a second yellow.
When asked about the incident, he said: “Are you working or are you on holidays?”
He added: “I cannot comment because I am punished by that, you are not punished, you can say the truth.”
In his post match press conference, he elaborated, saying: “There are things that are out of our hands.
“Two minutes extra time (at the end of the first half), we concede the goal on two minutes 35 seconds.
“Then what happened in the second half everything is a consequence of some crucial moments.
“Moments that the stadium saw, the players more than see, the players felt it, from now, what happens is just a consequence.”
Chelsea’s supporters are beginning to lose patience, and many left Stamford Bridge before full-time.
“Yeah, they are not stupid.
“They saw the game, they saw what we did, they saw what some people did to us and they are not stupid.”
