José Mourinho's name was sung at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. No, this isn't a rewind to 2004 or 2014, during his two previous spells as Chelsea manager, but a snapshot of the here-and-now at a club in crisis. The reality is that, should Mauricio Pochettino pay the price for the team's disastrous season so far, Mourinho is available.

In basic terms, it's easy to understand why a large section of the Chelsea fans chanted Mourinho's name during the 4-2 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, which left the Blues in 11th position in the Premier League, 15 points from the top four and just 12 from the relegation zone.
