Jose Mourinho needs to get his act together because he is a man seemingly on the brink of losing control. Hard to believe it’s only a matter of months since Chelsea cruised to the Premier League title.

But since then Jose has lost the plot, culminating in an utterly ridiculous and irresponsible blast at his medical team at the weekend. He should make a public apology to the professionals he has offended.

But there are other signs of problems for the Chelsea boss.

First of all, when did a manager of the gravitas of Mourinho lie down and say nothing while an owner sells a player to direct rivals?

I understand Roman Abramovich wanting to respect Petr Cech, but Mourinho is a football man, and that was not a good football decision, regardless of Cech’s blunders on the opening weekend of the season.

Yet Mourinho has watched this happen without significant protest. That’s weak from Jose. If he’s not in charge of playing decisions at the club, how can he carry on in those circumstances?

Secondly, Chelsea looked tired and unimaginative on day one of the season. The squad hasn’t been freshened up and they are once again relying on an injury-prone striker this season.

It piles the pressure on Eden Hazard to have another wonder season. He may deliver, he may not.

Petr Cech joining Arsenal was not a move that Mourinho will have agreed with for football reasons

Branislav Ivanovic looked like he was towing a caravan on Saturday, John Terry and Gary Cahill looked unsettled by Swansea’s physicality, Nemanja Matic strolled around seemingly unaware of danger even when it was advertised in 12-foot high neon lights right in front of him.

In short, Chelsea looked like they were ambling through the game, almost as if they feel they have the title retained already. Contrast that with Chelsea’s dominant and classy victory on the opening day last season.

The Mourinho blast at his medical staff is so irrational that the Chelsea boss needs to have a long hard look at himself. Eva Carneiro and Jon Fearn have a duty of care to the players on the pitch, their priority is the health of the professionals.

They should not even think twice, and certainly shouldn’t be asked to take chances by a manager who needs to focus on getting results and preparing a team.

Is it a sign that Mourinho is under pressure?

He needs to deliver another title for Chelsea and to do better than the feeble effort in the Champions League last season. Jose’s got the chairman making transfers against his wishes, and now he’s angry with medics looking after his players.

Mourinho is a great of the game and a winner. But he’s displaying signs of losing his way since that title triumph.
