Chelsea boss Mourinho blasts "19th century" West Ham

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho blasted Sam Allardyce's tactics for West Ham United after last night's 0-0 draw.

Mourinho outlined his unhappiness with the Hammers' tactics afterwards.

The self-proclaimed 'Special One' said: "It's very difficult to play a football match where only one team wants to play. It's very difficult.

"A football match is about two teams playing and this match was only one team playing and another team not playing.

"I told Big Sam and I repeat my words: they need points and, because they need points, to come here and play the way they did, is it acceptable? Maybe, yes.

"I cannot be too critical, because if I was in his position I don't know if I would do the same. Maybe.

"At the same time I told also this is not Premier League, this is not the best league in the world, this is football from the 19th century."

He added: "The only (other) thing I could bring was a Black and Decker (tool) to destroy the wall."
