Luis Suarez blasts Jose Mourinho for parking the bus when Chelsea played Liverpool at Anfield

Luis Suarez says he was unimpressed with Jose Mourinho's philosophy towards the end of last season.

Chelsea frustrated Liverpool and virtually denied them the title with a clever, defensive display at Anfield. 

"Every coach plays the way that suits him, so I don’t mind that,” Suarez explained in his new autobiography, Crossing The Line. 

“The only thing I didn’t like was the way that they wasted time from the very start. I was asking myself: ‘Why are they doing this from the first minute?’ 

"I even asked one of their players. ‘What do you want me to do? If he makes us play like this, I have to play like this,’ he replied. ‘What else can I do? If I don’t, I won’t play. What would you do?’

"We didn’t play that well, but I honestly think that there was nothing we could have done differently. We had 10 players in front of us, almost all of them in the penalty area. We could try a one-two, or move the ball quickly from player to player to try to pull them out of position, seeking to create some space, but then there would always be another defender in front of us.

“It’s very hard when you see that there is no space to move into. Meanwhile, every time we looked up at the clock, time was running out.

“The way that they seemed to be playing with the clock frustrated us. They tried to wind us up, I think, and we were drawn into that. ‘Come on, hurry up.’ We should not have been dragged in.

“Mourinho knew: if you waste time, if you break it up from the very start, they’re going to get frustrated, they’re going to play a bit more crazily, they’ll do anything. They pulled us out of our normal routine."
