Jose Mourinho has been repeatedly forced to defend his tactics – with people questioning Chelsea’s ‘boring’ style of play.
If the special one’s cutting response of ‘I think boring is 10 years without a title. That’s very boring.’ wasn’t enough for Chelsea to win the argument, we thought we’d bring some stats in to settle it once and for all.
We’ve got your back, Jose!
With a goal difference second to none in the league, the above graphic shows that in all competitions this season, Chelsea have outscored both of their closest competitors in Arsenal AND Manchester City.
We all know Arsenal fans led the boring campaign following their 0-0 draw at the Emirates in April, but Arsene Wenger’s men are lagging behind having scored just 100 goals in comparison to Chelsea’s 106 in all competitions this season.
Manchester City fans might want to look away now, the defence of their Premier League title has fallen short having registered 1.88 goals per game, just 90 in total.
