Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hits out at Man City AGAIN ahead of crunch clash

JOSE MOURINHO has hit out at Chelsea's title rivals Manchester City yet again on the eve of their all important Premier League crunch clash.

The former Real Madrid boss attacked City's cup record, claiming Manuel Pellegrini's side should have won more silverware with the depth of talent they currently boast.

Having already claimed that City have enjoyed the rub of the green from referees in recent weeks and taken aim at the financial backing received from the club's Abu Dhabi owners, the Portuguese said they have not won enough since Sheikh Mansour took over the club in 2008.

They won the FA Cup in 2011 and the Premier League the following season, but the current Champions League campaign is the first they have progressed past the group stage.

"They won one title, won a couple of cups," Mourinho said.

"Only in Europe they didn't do well, or close to doing well.

"Speaking objectively, they did very bad in the Champions League in previous seasons, also in the Europa League. But the team is fantastic, the squad is fantastic and normally they (should) win more titles."

City, currently second on 53 points, can move ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table with victory on Monday, while a win for the Blues will put the top three teams within two points of each other.

Pellegrini's side have scored 72 goals in 18 home matches this season, but Mourinho insisted they were capable of scoring regularly as well, despite being unable to break through some resolute West Ham United defending on Wednesday.

"I want to attack them, I can tell you that. But maybe after 10 or 20 minutes you realise Jose isn't attacking. If I don't it's because I can't.
"I don't know if other teams refuse to attack or if they can't do it."
