Former Liverpool midfielder, Dietmar Hamann, has claimed that Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, is ‘begging for the sack.’
The Blues have won three of their opening nine Premier League games and have taken just four points from a possible nine in the Champions League.
Mourinho has gone public with his criticism for some of his players and following the draw against Dynamo Kiev this week, he labelled the referee as ‘weak and naive’, for failing to award his team a penalty.
Hamann believes Mourinho is losing the dressing room.
“Some of the stuff he [Mourinho] is coming out with at the moment and over recent weeks is not far from a meltdown. It’s John Carver-esque,” Hamann told Talksport.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the owner and what the circumstances are, but to me at times it looks like he’s begging for the sack.
“The thing that worries me about Chelsea is that he seems to be falling out with all the players. If you want to get a reaction from a player and you put him on the bench like he did with [Eden] Hazard the other day, it’s not a problem. But you don’t bring him on in the 89th minute to humiliate him and embarrass him even further.
“And he’s done it with most of the players. [Branislav] Ivanovic has been labelled as a player who hasn’t performed this season, which may be true, but if you do it with one or two players to get a reaction that’s fair enough, but I think he has done it to most of them now.
“If I look into the Chelsea dressing room now, do I think the majority of players would like to see the back of him? Yes, I think they would. He’s upset everybody for no reason.”
