Mourinho: Ostriches not welcome

Jose Mourinho has told his Chelsea players to face their problems head on and not to hide like ostriches.

Chelsea will bid to improve on their miserable start to the season - four wins in 11 games in all competitions, including two in seven in the Premier League - against Southampton on Saturday.

Amid talk of a crisis and suggestions of rifts within the squad, Mourinho is defiant, and he became the second Premier League manager in under a year - after former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson - to make a reference to a certain flightless bird.

"In the bad moments, you cannot do that and just wait for a better moment to come, or for the problems to be resolved by themselves.

"Or waiting for the moon to change and give you better vibrations. You make mistakes, you are in a bad moment, no ostrich [behaviour], head up, face the problems, speak, work. For me, this is the way."
