Surely you watched your beloved City play and not Chelsea...

I watched both.

How can any team beat City when the refs on their side? :facepalm:

Its disgusting how many times they were helped this season and how many goals they disallowed? :facepalm:

The draw could have been easily avoided if Sam would gone with a less defensive approach to the game, or you could say that they were very well organized defensively just at this game.

It's just my opinion from what I've seen this season, Arsenal and Chelsea are below City in overall quality... not to mention both lack the help from referees unlike City.

In this game? He wouldn't have done anything to change the outcome. Only thing I can say he would have done is put in better crosses because for the life of me Willian is god awful at making crosses. Asides that, he would probably have let West Ham blow by him for a counter.

"Football from the 19th century" - Mourinho hits out at West Ham tactics

Jose Mourinho has labelled West Ham's style of play "football from the 19th century" following Chelsea's goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening.

Chelsea threw everything at Sam Allardyce's side in the second half but failed to find a way past the Hammers, who were reliant on strong performances from goalkeeper Adrian, James Collins, James Tomkins and the midfield, who sat deep throughout the home sides' 39-shot onslaught.

The stalemate has left Chelsea three points behind new Premier League leaders Manchester City, who secured a 5-1 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

"This is not Premier League, this is not the best league in the world. This is football from the 19th century," Mourinho told reporters.

"It's very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play. A football match is about two teams playing.

"I told Big Sam, they need points. To come here the way they did, is that acceptable? Maybe it is, they need points."

Mourinho insisted there was little more his side could do to break down West Ham, who came away from Stamford Bridge with a point for only the second time since September 2002.

He joked: "The only thing I could bring more was Black & Decker - a Black & Decker to destroy the [West Ham] wall."

Mou

You know you're right.

We score so many goals, what they should do is whoever plays City the offside law doesn't count then that way the games would be a lot closer.

Yes because every manager would be happy to be held to 0 all at home in that situation.

I am fairly sure every manager would say the same in the same situation.

Most who complain about said tactics don't have a history of using them repeatedly themselves, however.

its funny to see chelsea fans (in other forums) complain against parking the buss..
stupid from Mourinho to complain though.

AVB out, definitely not good enough, OH WAIT.

Hopefully Spurs destabilise now and just fall apart. They've failed to gel as a team, and they have no strategy right now. I feel sorry for Eriksen, should of ~~stayed at Ajax~~ joined Liverpool. :facepalm:

by CBarca Thu Jan 30, 2014 12:25 am

All I have to say is

Levy rofl

Yeah the red card changed things, but I failed to see anything better in that performance than the one earlier in the season. If not for some good saves by Lloris that would have been even worse, and Tottenham weren't at Etihad...

It's just as kneejerk to say anything about Sherwood's appointment now as it was to sack AVB which is why I won't, but this result does help to convince that perhaps stability and patience were virtues that should have been practiced. We'll see, however.
