I agree with Dazz to be honest.
Yes, putting 3 subs on was a gamble and it didn't pay off but Mourinho wanted to progress so he chucked on his "big guns" with plenty of time left. Had they gone on to come from behind and win as a result people would probably have praised him. Had he waited until 70-80 minutes or so before bringing them on and they'd still lost, people would probably ask "why didn't they come on sooner?". As Dazz said, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
You don't often finish a match with your keeper sent off, a player stretchered off injured and two other players limping, Chelsea's luck just went against them yesterday in that respect.
Calling him a moron is a bit harsh considering how well Chelsea are doing and what he managed at Porto
