Chelsea manager criticises his own supporters saying he finds
their lack of noise 'frustrating' and says they make it difficult for
his players
Jose Mourinho has criticised the lack of atmosphere at
Stamford Bridge by saying it feels like Chelsea are playing their
home games in an "empty stadium".
The Premier League leaders laboured to a 2-1 victory over
Queens Park Rangers and afterwards Mourinho launched an
attack of the lack of noise generated by his fans.
He described their lack of passion as "frustrating" and said it
makes things "difficult" for his players.
"Everyone knows how much I feel connected to this club and
the fans," he told talkSPORT.
"At this moment it's difficult for us to play at home though,
because playing here is like playing in an empty stadium.
"The team then starts playing like it's a quiet, soft game at home.
It's difficult to get that strong start where the players, team and
fans at Stamford Bridge [are all together].
"I was today looking around and it was empty, but not in terms
of people because it was obviously full. That's what frustrating."
