Football - ‘Mourinho Behaves Like A Petulant Baby' - Sutton

The former Blackburn Rovers and Celtic player made his

frustrations with the Portuguese boss clear, criticising his

behaviour

Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has criticised manager Jose

Mourinho for behaving “like a big petulant baby” during his side’s

poor start to the season.

The Stamford Bridge club face Stoke City on Saturday on the back

of league losses to West Ham United and Liverpool, which have

left them sitting in 15th place in the Premier League after 11

games.

The Portuguese manager has become increasingly critical in his

media appearances and received a stadium ban for Saturday’s

match after launching a tirade at a referee.

And Sutton, who played for Chelsea as well as Blackburn Rovers

and Celtic, is tired of Mourinho’s histrionics.

“I’ve always been a fan of Mourinho up until this season – I think

he’s been charismatic, charming, brilliant for the Premier League,”

he said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“But his behaviour in recent times – he has behaved like a

petulant, big baby.

The former Chelsea striker was also critical of Mourinho’s attitude

following the defeat to Slaven Bilic’s West Ham, suggesting that

the manager had nothing to complain about with regards to Cesc

Fabregas’ disallowed strike and Nemanja Matic’s dismissal.

“i can understand his frustration, we all can, because the team

aren’t playing well but the bottom line is that at West Ham he

was wrong.

“If he was factually right he would be okay but he was wrong.

The goal was offisde. Matic should have gone and he shouldn’t

have any complaints. And to argue those points is utterly

ridiculous.”
