Португалец говорит, что игроки команды и их доверие могут быть единственной причиной его ухода и уверен, что со временем команда вернет свою форму.

The Portuguese says losing the dressing room is the only thing that would see him quit the Blues and is confident they can turn their form around in time

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says the only reason he would ever resign from his job at Stamford Bridge would be if he lost the trust of his players.

The Portuguese has come under pressure after a poor start to the season with Saturday’s loss to Southampton the Blues’ sixth defeat of the campaign.

Mourinho insisted after the game that he remains the right man for the job, despite his team languishing in 16th place, and has once again reiterated his desire to stay at the club.

"People can say what they want. I think you should go straight to the players," he told reporters.

"Get a table at Cobham next week - John Terry doesn't go to the national team, Diego Costa doesn't go, Ramires doesn't go. Ask them.

"If they tell you they don't trust me, that is the only thing that can make me resign. The only thing. But not fake sources. The players at the table."

Mourinho also insisted he was pleased with the way he was handling his current predicament and says his players will turn their current form around in time.

"In this moment it's not so easy and my feelings -- I'm so unhappy with the sport feeling of defeat but I am so happy with myself with the way I am facing this,” he added.

"Only Mother Nature can do it. They need to feel luck, they need to arrive at half-time winning 2-0, 3-0.

"They need to fly without pressure, they need to play and feel that everything is going in their favour. Not to feel this pressure, this panic, this negativity. Decisions against, unlucky, mistakes.

"They need it. Time will bring it. I don't know next match, in two matches, in three. For sure they will get that confidence back, for sure.''

There was to be no instant response following the midweek debacle against Porto, as Jose Mourinho's charges were outplayed in the second half to continue their poor league start

Chelsea's miserable 2015-16 season continued as they fell to a stunning 3-1 defeat against a rampant Southampton side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The hosts took the lead through Willian's free-kick, but Steven Davis deservedly levelled proceedings just before half-time.

Chelsea thought they should have had a penalty when Radamel Falcao was brought down by Maarten Stekelenburg in the second half shortly before Sadio Mane put the Saints in front after a mistake from the returning John Terry. Graziano Pelle then sealed a victory which piles further pressure on manager Jose Mourinho.

The champions have now taken just eight points from as many matches after conceding three times in a home league game for the first time ever under the Portuguese boss, while Southampton have won three consecutive games and scored 12 goals in the process.

Mourinho had said before the match he would continue to rotate his side as he searches for a winning formula and he did exactly that with four changes as Falcao, Eden Hazard, Oscar and captain Terry were selected.

Former Blues midfielder Oriol Romeu started in place of James Ward-Prowse in the only alteration made by Ronald Koeman.

Chelsea took the lead in the 10th minute after Romeu had been booked for a foul on Hazard out wide.

Willian stepped up and his 30-yard delivery found the far corner after bouncing off the post. It was unclear if the attempt was deliberate, but the Brazilian celebrated scoring for the fourth game in a row.

Virgil van Dijk's penalty appeal was turned down after Branislav Ivanovic had a hold on his shirt at a corner, before Davis lashed an effort wide as Southampton attempted to respond.

At the other end, Stekelenburg saved Oscar's curling effort after the playmaker had combined well with Cesc Fabregas in a tightly-congested penalty area.

The Saints were appealing for a spot-kick again when Mane went down in the box but their appeals were denied by referee Robert Madley despite contact being made during Ramires' challenge.

Southampton were the better side as the first half drew to a close and great work from Mane saw him dribble infield and send through a pinpoint pass for Ryan Bertrand, but Asmir Begovic narrowed the angle and denied the defender a goal against his former club.

The equaliser did arrive one minute before half-time though. A long pass from defence was chested down far too easily by Pelle on the edge of the box and Davis stepped up to rifle a low shot into the bottom corner.

Both sides made changes at the break, with Nemanja Matic replacing Ramires and Ward-Prowse coming on for Romeu.
Within minutes of the re-start, a sweeping Southampton passing move almost resulted in a goal, but Begovic did well to repel Mane's effort at close-range following Dusan Tadic's square pass.

Chelsea were struggling to generate clear-cut opportunities but felt they should have had a penalty. Falcao outmuscled Jose Fonte and went down in the box as he attempted to round Stekelenburg, but received a booking for what the referee saw as a dive.

That decision proved costly for the champions on the hour-mark. After Gary Cahill had given away possession, Pelle slipped through a pass which Terry completely misjudged, allowing Mane to race through on goal. Begovic got something on the ball in his attempt to save but not enough to prevent his side falling behind.

There was more woe for Chelsea on 72 minutes. This time it was Hazard who gave away the ball and Mane led a swift counter-attack before setting up Pelle to convert with a lethal finish into the far corner.

A crucial block from Terry denied Southampton a fourth after Mane won a battle of strength against Cahill down the left and brilliantly set up Tadic.

Chelsea almost had a goal back when a poor piece of goalkeeping from Stekelenburg allowed substitute Pedro the opportunity to shoot, but the ex-Barcelona man was just off target.

  As for Southampton, they will be over the moon with the win and fully deserve it after impressing from start to finish. They constantly took advantage of Chelsea’s defensive frailties and made them pay time and time again, with Mane and Pelle constantly looking excellent inside the final third of the pitch.
•  

   

  Jose Mourinho trudges down the tunnel as the referees whistle blows, and once again the spotlight is on him at the end of another poor performance from his side. What some were claiming was a blip must now surely be considered a crisis, and it is difficult to know where they go from here. They offered very little going forward and were desperately missing Costa, whilst at the back they looked at sixes and sevens, with recently-returned Terry offering little in the heart of a shaky defence.

  After starting the game so well, Chelsea head into the half-time break with the scoreline level at 1-1 after struggling for a final quarter of the opening period that saw Southampton go firmly on the front foot. Bar Willian's wonderful free kick, the hosts have failed to offer much going forward, whilst the visitors have looked increasingly dangerous. Pelle has proved to be an effective target man, whilst Mane has started to cause the Blues' back four problems with his pace and skill.

  Southampton work the ball around well, with Cedric looking particularly bright down the right wing. He cuts inside and plays a quick one-two with Pelle before looking to shoot, but a sea of blue shirts are there to dispossess him on the edge of the penalty area before Cahill thumps the ball away.
• 12'

  There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this afternoon…
•  

   

  After suffering a slow start to the season that saw them fail to win any of their opening four Premier League games and also get knocked out of the Europa League, Southampton have looked far better in recent weeks and head to Stamford Bridge with three wins from their last five games, including an impressive 3-1 victory at home to Swansea City last weekend. They have looked excellent in the final third of the pitch, where they have netted 14 goals in their last five clashes, and Ronald Koeman will be hoping that his side can inflict further misery on Jose Mourinho’s men with what would be their first win at Stamford Bridge since December 2001.
•  

   

  Another poor week in what has been a dreadful season for Chelsea means that the pressure is firmly on Jose Mourinho once again. A run of three consecutive wins was brought to an end by a 2-2 draw away to Newcastle United last weekend, whilst during the week the Blues were beaten 2-1 by Porto in the Champions League, meaning that four of their last 10 games have ended in defeats, their worst run since December 2012. The reigning champions will take comfort in the fact that they have won their last two consecutive home games but will still be under no illusions that this afternoon’s clash is going to be another tough one for a side that desperately need a victory.
