Chelsea are boring, says Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit

Chelsea play "ugly" football under Jose Mourinho and the Premier League's runaway leaders deserve to be branded as boring because of their refusal to attack teams, their former manager Ruud Gullit has said. "His team is boring when, in my opinion, the players he has deserve much better.

Mourinho deserves his negative label because of the calculated way he makes Chelsea play," Gullit said in the Mirror newspaper. "I find it astonishing, because his players are capable of brilliant football, as we saw on Wednesday for a brief moment when they were losing 1-0 at Leicester and were suddenly forced to put their foot on the accelerator.
