I'm sure i heard Mourinho saying that the pitch would be re-layed straight after the Colchester match. I can't seem to find any information if this has happened though. Maybe i was hearing things!?
You're not going mad, JM said this at a press conference on Friday:
“The pitch we change on Sunday after the game,” he said. “We finish at six o’clock and I hope at six-thirty the machinery goes in to change it and leaves a perfect pitch for Barcelona.”
But he was only kidding
He's not happy about the state of the pitch but nothing can be done now & it doesn't actually play that bad if yesterdays game was anything to go by, it just looks rubbish, rather like Man.U's did earlier in the year.
He also said this, which is a fair comment:
“Barcelona can think what they want. We have no technical players. We have no skilful players, we have just the kind of players that kick the ball and run,” he continued with more than a hint of sarcasm.
“Robben, Duff, Wright-Phillips, Lampard. We have no technical players and because we have no technical players we need a potato field. So we play on a potato field.
“Only stupid people can think that a team like Chelsea with the qualities we have can be happy to have this pitch at this time.”
