Jose Mourinho delivered a bizzare post-match interview following Chelsea’s crushing defeat to Liverpool, repeatedly claiming that he “had nothing to say”.

When asked for his thoughts on a match which had seen his side surrender an early lead, Mourinho refused to be drawn, reciting the same phrase, “I have nothing to say”, eleven times.

That same answer was used when asked about referee Mark Clattenburg’s decision not to send off Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva for a second bookable offence and on Diego Costa’s clash with Martin Skrtel.

The embattled Portuguese coach only diverted from his script when asked about his future ad the club and the fans.

When BT Sport’s interviewer asked whether it was time to address the fans after the disastrous run, Mourinho added: “The fans are not stupid.”

The question of whether he felt under more pressure invited a blunt “no” and as to whether he could fix the crisis enveloping the club, Mourinho replied simply: “I cannot say.”

Chelsea have now lost six league games this season, which equals the record number of defeats that Mourinho has ever suffered in a single campaign.
