Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has criticized the club's support saying that it was difficult to play at home because Stamford Bridge felt like an "empty stadium" during yesterday's 2-1 win over QPR.

A crowd of 41,486 watched Mourinho's men go nine points clear of defending champions Manchester City, who host rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

He said that it was difficult to play at home because playing there was like playing in an "empty stadium", reported the BBC.

He added that the team starts playing like it is quiet, soft game at home.

Mourinho said that when they scored was when he realized that the stadium was full.
