Who can I blame? Ourselves. Nobody else. We missed big chances.

Mourinho said: "What happened was that we played phenomenal in the first half and should have been winning 3-0 or 4-0 - then it ended up 1-1. Who can I blame? Ourselves. Nobody else. We missed big chances.
"In the second half we played different team with a man less. I understand their need for one point in the survival battle and they just defended to make it difficult for us. I understand that. And on top of that the goalkeeper was phenomenal.
"We felt pressure of the clock running down and lost the quality of our attacking football. We didn't lose intensity or desire but the reality is we didn't score goals."
