Manager of the Blues brought on Torres midway through the second-half after an unproductive evening for Andre Schurrle.
But when Torres’s performance did not yield the expected results, Mourinho lamented after the game:
“I’m not happy with my strikers’ performances so I had to try things. And with Andre at least I know we have one more player to have the ball, one more player to associate with the other players, even though he’s not a striker. But football is not just about that. It’s also about scoring goals, getting behind, and that is for strikers. Real strikers. And I had to try.”
Chelsea manager also added that in such tight games defensive mistakes lead to big trouble for the team.
