Jose Mourinho slams 'quiet' Chelsea supporters as Blues maintain unbeaten record with QPR victory However, Mourinho clammed up when asked his opinions on why the Stamford Bridge crowd are, in his view, too quiet. Has complacency set in? I don't know. Is the prawn sandwich brigade too large? I'm not here to sell books [in reference to Roy Keane, who coined the phrase]. Are there too many seats taken up by corporate day-trippers? Tim Rolls, chairman of the Chelsea Supporters" Trust, was more forthcoming on possible explanations for the muted atmosphere. "I think the manager's criticisms were slightly ill-advised because the fans pay good money to watch highly paid footballers," Rolls said. While I'd rather the ground was like a bear-pit, that's not what the Premier League is like these days with the changed demographic of spectators coming to games, not least because there are an ever increasing number of tourists in the ground. On pricing, it's £50 a game, give or take. So an awful lot of young people can't afford to go very often, clearly. That's a problem across the Premier League. In fact, the atmosphere issue is not just a Chelsea issue, either. We were at Old Trafford the previous week and the atmosphere wasn't what it was, just as it isn't at Liverpool, either. Home fans are made to sit down, but away fans can stand up. Home fans who do stand up and sing at the Bridge have received letters from the club saying a repetition could mean their season ticket or membership being revoked. That doesn't help. The average age of Chelsea supporters attending home games these days is over 40 - it's nearer 50 where I sit - and that is the case at a lot of Premier League grounds. We need to somehow be encouraging the 16-25s to come and the only way we can do that is price tickets accordingly, and allow them to congregate together in a "singing section."" Mourinho's complaints were not exclusively aimed at the fans, as he was unhappy with the team's performance against QPR. Having taken the lead through an exquisite Oscar goal, Chelsea became sloppy and allowed Charlie Austin to equalise before Eden Hazard won and scored the decisive penalty. "At half-time, he [Mourinho] was not happy and told us we hadn't played well and had to do better," Willian said. It was dangerous for us, to be only 1-0 up. So we had to improve. He was right because even then QPR came on to the pitch for the second half and scored their goal to get level. But at least we reacted. We had to. We had to run more, keep the ball better, get at them more. Hazard ended up making that great dribble and winning the penalty. Just 10 games in, there is a feeling that the title is already Chelsea's to lose and Willian said: "I think this pressure is good for us. I'd rather have this, with us top of the league. We know we have to continue, keep those standards, and that is the only way. We need points, game by game, and keep focused. Despite seeing his QPR side defeated, Harry Redknapp was the happier of the two managers and believes they can pull away from the bottom of the table. "Today's performance has given us encouragement to come away from home and play so well," Redknapp said. A couple of wins can turn it all around, we have a big game next against Manchester City. Hopefully, we can give them a real tough game as well. Look at Newcastle, a couple of weeks ago they were getting pelted but suddenly you win a few games on the spin and now they are probably talking about getting into Europe.
