Saints piled on the misery for Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, but the Chelsea manager seem to have lost his sense of reality.
Jose Mourinho didn't just lose a game of football on Saturday, he also seemed to lose his sense of reality, sense of fair play, possibly the dressing room and the plot in general.
Of course you would expect a manager to be angry at the way his side capitulated against a team in his bloated ego of the level he sees of Southampton.
But Mourinho seemed to blame the defeat on everything other than Saints brilliant display and of course himself.
In his view the defeat was down to the incompetence of the referee who failed to give his side a penalty when Falcao went down as Stekelenburg challenged, bu what the referee spotted or at the very least suspected was that Falcao had dived.
TV replays confirmed that the official got this decision right, but that was not good enough for Mourinho in his post match interview, by then he would have seen the replays, at the very least one of his minions would have told him that the referee's decision was correct, therefore by criticising the ref in such a way and blaming him for the defeat was pure folly.
Everyone now sees Mourinho as a busted flush, a man who cannot deal with the problems his side are facing but prefers to try and pass the buck to anything other than himself.
In fact if anyone had reason to complain about the referee it would be Ronald Koeman and Saints, Virgil Van Dijk nearly had his shirt ripped off his back and Sadio Mane was brought down but the official gave neither and to rub salt in the wounds it was later proved on TV that both were stonewall penalties and that Mane had also if not been fouled, had been brought down and had not dived when he received his yellow card.
A decent man would have held his hands up and admitted that at least part of his problems were caused by a great display by Saints who forced his side into errors and fully deserved their victory.
But Mourinho is not a decent man, at least not in the eyes of anyone who is not a Chelsea supporter and to be blunt they are fans who venerate John Terry a man who makes Mourinho look nice.
No tears will be shed for Mourinho if he loses his job at Chelsea, that is clearly in his mind judging by the tirade in the post match interview, when he declared he would never resign.
