Chelsea imperfect

LONDON. — Jose Mourinho admits Chelsea are “not the perfect squad” but he remains committed to building for the future at Stamford Bridge.
Oussama Assaidi came off the bench to score a superb winner as Stoke stunned Chelsea 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.The Blues’ first league defeat to the Potters since 1975 saw them slip to third in the table, behind Liverpool in second and five points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

However, Mourinho feels the squad he has inherited from previous manager Rafael Benitez is distanced from the title-winning side he developed during his first tenure at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese tactician left out 35-year-old Frank Lampard in favour of 23-year-old German forward Andre Schurrle, who netted a brace for the Blues. — Sky Sports.
