Jose Mourinho admits his Chelsea fear as he explains how they could lose big club status

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho explained that the moment when Chelsea fans clapping the players off the pitch following the defeat, they will stop being looked at as a “big club” by the other sides in Premier League. Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool on Sunday. The Blues had a goal chalked off by VAR and the supporters recognized the effort after the game and clapped the players off the pitch. Mourinho said: "I hope they don't get used to it, that's a very important thing. When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well or the players gave their best and gave a performance for people to be proud of in terms of attitude and commitment - I think when you get used to it is when big clubs stop being big clubs. "I hope they don't get used to it. But I think it shows the people are ready for what the season is going to be for them. I think people are ready to support one of the best professionals [Frank Lampard] that I have ever worked with - a manager with potential. "I think they are ready to accept what this season is going to be because clearly today, despite part of the performance and the result [being positive], the reality is in the numbers. Liverpool are 10 points above Chelsea."
