Mourinho The 'Not Happy' One  (Sky Sports)

Jose MourinhoChelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is not happy with his team or himself after Chelsea's worst start to a Premier League season for 17 years.

The champions got to West Brom on Sunday still looking for their first win of the campaign after a 2-2 draw at home to Swansea and a 3-0 loss at title rivals Manchester City last Sunday.

And Mourinho, who described himself as the 'Special One' when he first joined Chelsea and the 'Happy One' when he returned two summers ago, says he is not so contented at the moment.

"We have one point from two matches," said Mourinho "I'm not happy at all.

"I'm not happy with anyone. I'm not happy with (Branislav) Ivanovic's form, (Gary) Cahill, John (Terry), Azpi (Cesar Azpilicueta), Eden (Hazard), (Cesc) Fabregas, (Nemanja) Matic.

"But, for me, the first thing is I'm not happy with my form, because I used to get better results than I'm getting.

"This is the start of everything."

And Mourinho says his bid for self-improvement is now extending to the gym.

"I go to the gym every day now to get fitter," he revealed. "Maybe I need more action on the touchline, so I need to be fitter."

Skipper Terry is likely to start at West Brom despite having been taken off at half-time at the Etihad.

But Mourinho said Terry was withdrawn due to his lack of pace and on Friday the manager said that he may utilise quicker defenders and different formations more often.

"When you have strikers like we have, why not play with two strikers?" he said.

"When you have fast people like (Kurt) Zouma, (Cesar) Azpilicueta, why not play with three defenders?

"And now we are having time to do that because we have a week between games, so we are thinking about that."
