Chelsea's missing ingredient

By Alan Hansen BBC Sport football expert

I have been really impressed by what Santini has done Alan Hansen

Jose Mourinho stole the headlines after Chelsea's 0-0 draw against Tottenham when he attacked the visitors for their defensive style.

There's two ways to look at that - Mourinho is the manager of Chelsea at home and they've attacked, attacked, attacked. But he himself has also been noted for his defensive way of playing.

I think what happens is that managers from time to time come into the press conference and say things and people pick up on them. Mourinho has to understand that's the way things work in England.

But certainly you could say it was slightly hypocritical simply because he is a defensive man.

It might be that Mourinho is saying those sorts of things because, even though Tottenham did really well defensively and Ledley King was outstanding, Chelsea still had enough chances to win three or four matches.

The big thing about Chelsea is that even though Didier Drogba played really well they are missing a predator, a Gary Lineker who will get into that box regardless of where the ball is and stick the ball in the back of the net.

To be fair there's not a lot missing for Chelsea. Even though they only got a point I was really impressed with them against Tottenham, especially when Damien Duff came on.

They need a predator, someone who when the ball comes into the six-yard box you can bet your life will be there, but I tipped them to win the championship and I didn't see anything on Sunday that would make me think they are going to be that far away.

As for Tottenham, there was nothing wrong with the way they played whatsoever. This is a team which, in the last three or four years, has been all over the place defensively and Jacques Santini has come in and tightened them up considerably.

You've gone away from home against one of the best teams in the division, with players worth about £200m, and there's no way you are going to go out and attack. Even Arsenal would sit back to a certain extent - it's the only way anybody would have played at Stamford Bridge.

I have been really impressed by what Santini has done. He's got Tottenham playing in two lines of four and it just shows you that if you get four defenders in position and get four players in front of them it is notoriously difficult to break down.

The one big thing you can say about Tottenham is that George Graham tried it and the supporters were not having any of it. Maybe that was because it was George Graham but it's not a Tottenham way of playing.

What you've got to do is educate the supporters and the way to do that is to say, we are not losing and we are winning the occasional game.

Nothing should surprise you at Real Madrid Alan Hansen on Jose Camacho

He's got them doing great defensively, and they are much better than they were, but if you have two lines of four a lot of time you are going to see negative stuff, and that's not what their supporters love, so it will be interesting to see how that pans out.

Two other managers taking over at new clubs are Graeme Souness and Mark Hughes, and both began with victories this weekend.

The most important aspect is getting off to a good start, especially for Souness away from home at Southampton, who are fighting for their lives. The difference two results makes is amazing - after four games they had two points but now they've got eight points. Another couple of results and they are off and running.

For Mark Hughes to go back to Blackburn and get off to a winning start was great as well. They weren't ultra convincing against Portsmouth but the most important aspect is the three points.

But a manager who is on his way out is Jose Antonio Camacho at Real Madrid, not that anything should surprise you at that club.

It's like the Ryder Cup - it doesn't matter how good your players are, you have got to be a team. The only side of individuals that has ever achieved anything is the Brazilians of 1970, but they were so good it didn't matter.

The Real Madrid players are good but they are not invincible, and they are a bit like the Americans at the Ryder Cup, while the Europeans have tremendous team work and spirit and that's what carries them through.

The golf was just the most pulsating three days you can imagine, right from the word go. It was just sport like you will never believe, the best three days and I think in that event there is more pressure on individuals than any other event in sport.
