The Blues were beaten 3-1 at home by Liverpool on Saturday, with Mourinho cutting something of a forlorn figure on the touchline as his side failed to cash in on taking an early lead through Ramires.
However, the Portuguese insisted afterwards that he will not be throwing in the towel, with his side having to move on quickly for a Champions League clash at home to Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday evening.
He told reporters: "I have some players really sad in the dressing room and I am full of respect for them. We see it match after match.
"As professionals they are not getting the respect they deserve. I don't think we, myself and them, are not going to have a great Saturday dinner, even families for sure.
"They have the same feelings that we have and I'm really sorry with that lack of respect for professionals."
However, he added a rather more cryptic touch when interviewed by BBC Sport, commenting: "What I saw from my players was good until a moment where they felt it was impossible to do better.
"The fight goes on, but sometimes there are fights that are very impossible to win."
Chelsea have won only three of their 11 league games so far this season, with those victories coming against West Bromwich Albion, Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, the Blues can be backed at 20/1 to win the Champions League this season, with holders Barcelona 3/1 and Real Madrid 5/1.
