Mourinho: There are 18 teams more boring than Chelsea

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at suggestions that his side are boring by pointing to their goalscoring record in the league this season.
'If the number of goals scored is what decides if a team is boring, we have 18 teams in the Premier League more boring than us.' #CFC — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC)
Chelsea’s resolute defending frustrated Arsenal in their 0-0 draw at the Emirates on Sunday, though they did create the two best chances of the first-half. The Gunners had 56% possession, but they were unable to break down the Chelsea defence, only registering one shot on target during the whole game.
The home crowd could be heard chanting “Boring, boring Chelsea” at the end of the match, but Mourinho doesn’t believe that’s a fair reflection of how his team have performed during the current campaign.
The Blues have scored 65 goals in the top flight this season, which is second only to defending champions Manchester City (70). They also have the joint-best defensive record in the division (26 goals conceded).
Chelsea played some excellent football earlier this term, but they have largely been grinding out results in recent weeks. They have already won the Capital One Cup, and the draw with Arsenal means it would take an enormous slip-up for them to lose their lead at the top of the table. They are currently ten points clear with five games to go.
