EPL: If Only Jose Mourinho Was Still in Charge of Chelsea

This question looms in the minds of many admirers of this beautiful game. Had Jose Mourinho still been in charge what would have happened?

Like most of the last season, I am sure and so would every Chelsea fan agree that they would still have had a chance of winning all the four trophies this season.

Let's start with that League Cup humiliation at the hands of Spurs. The question is, would Chelsea have blown it away with the special one behind them: most football pundits don't think so.

Jose Mourinho was a proven winner and a man of cup competitions. So he would have definitely been inspirational when Grant chose to just watch John Terry and Steve Clarke rally the troops.

Secondly, Chelsea would have almost certainly booked their place at Wembley for an FA Cup final, and it would shock the entire world if they didn't win their second consecutive FA cup against a lower league team.

Would Jose have allowed his team to be beaten by a team fighting for a place in the Championship?

Now is the interesting part, everyone had praised Avram Grant for getting through that difficult period with injuries and the African Cup of Nations with very good results.

However in my opinion Jose Mourinho would have done it equally good if not better.

With most of the Chelsea fans giving their opinion that Chelsea are still within a shout for their third league title in four years and a Champions League title that has evaded them for many years, in spite of their manager rather than because, it remains to be seen whether this team can do the magic without their special one.

In my opinion, with Mourinho behind them, Chelsea would still be with in contention for a League title like they are now, and a semi final berth against Liverpool in the Champions League.

The question that will remain to be answered is can Chelsea knock out Liverpool, third time lucky perhaps?

They would have successfully defended the FA cup and the Carling Cup.

Another difference would be the attitude of Didier Drogba and many other team mates on the field.

Would Mourinho be sitting quietly when someone from his team had made a wrong pass?

What has Roman done to a club that were almost cruising for another successful season?
