Chelsea striket Loic Remy feels that desptie recent defeats, under-pressure manager Jose Mourinho is still the best man for Chelsea.

Chelsea F.C. allowed second placed Manchester City to draw level on points with them at the top of the Premier League after a draw at Southampton and a 5-3 defeat at Tottenham.

Chelsea F.C. consolidated their six-point lead at the head of the table with a 3-0 win over Spurs in their last match.

The announcement came a day after Chelsea reportedly triggered a 10.5 million pounds ($17.4 million, 13.3 million euros) release clause in the 27-year-old Loic Remy's contract, prompting him to withdraw from QPR's squad to face Sunderland.

Loic Remy was set to start for QPR in their 1-0 Premier League win at home to Sunderland on Saturday, but manager Harry Redknapp revealed the 27-year-old was pulled out of the team after Chelsea's approach.

Having previously beaten Chelsea 2-0 and won 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur, Alan Pardew's Newcastle are now just a point outside the Champions League places.

But the visitors needed a string of stunning saves by goalkeeper Tim Krul, especially a one-handed stop from Gylfi Sigurdsson's deflected free kick, in the second half to secure the win at White Hart Lane.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho criticised his side following their 2-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday and conceded that they deserved nothing from the game.

Goals by Yoan Gouffran and Loic Remy gave the hosts a shock 2-0 victory at St James' Park.

The Belgian marked his home debut with a brace in a 3-2 win at Goodison Park on Monday.
