"The Table is fake" says Mourinho

After leading Chelsea to a comfortable victory against Stoke City at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Jose Mourinho believes his side's top of the table position if "fake".

It could be recalled that Chelsea midweek lost to Crystal Palace about a week ago and Paris Saint German midweek in the UCL.

"The situation is the same,” the Portuguese told newsman. “The
table is again fake. The table is again with lots of
matches in hand. You look to the top part of the table
and, some teams, they have more matches than others.
You look to the relegation area and it’s exactly the
same.

“In the top of the league we cannot say we need X
points to be champions. If you look at the relegation
area, Fulham or Cardiff or Norwich, they cannot say,
‘We need this number of points to survive’, because
they don’t know, because Sunderland have matches in
hand.

“This, in the best league in the world, I don’t think is the
best image we are giving and it’s not the best
situation. To play matches in hand in the last week of
the season, I don’t think is adapted to this top football
country.”

Speaking on winning away matches, he enjoined his players to
Adapt to getting results away from home.
