Jose slams Hammers’ style

Chelsea 0 West Ham 0

Arsenal’s failure to win at Southampton the previous evening had presented Mourinho’s side with the chance to steal ground on at least one of their main rivals. And with a trip to Manchester City – now leaders after their win at Tottenham — looming next Monday, the opportunity was there for Chelsea to assert themselves in the title race.

Instead they were denied by a combination of poor finishing and resolute defending, leaving Mourinho frustrated that his team did not have the tools to break down the visitors.
