Chelsea boss Mourinho tells Rodgers: If you don't think you can win, why show up?

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had a dig at Brendan Rodgers over his team selection for Liverpool's defeat at Champions League opponents Real Madrid.

The Reds boss rested key personnel - including captain Steven Gerrard and playmaker Raheem Sterling - as his side lost 1-0.

Mourinho, whose side play at Anfield in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday lunchtime, said: "If Liverpool decide to rest players when they play against the European champions, it's a question for the  

Liverpool manager - it's not a question for me.

"I don't speak about Liverpool. I speak about myself. If one day I go to a game and I don't feel I can win, maybe I don't go.

"Normally, against the most difficult opponents, normally I will try to go with my best team."
