Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes the home crowd support for his team has worsened in recent seasons.
After Chelsea beat QPR 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday, the Portuguese tactician criticised Blues fans for failing to create enough of a hostile atmosphere at Stamford Bridge this campaign.
When speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League meeting with NK Maribor in Slovenia, Mourinho did not shy away from his disapproval of the Blues faithful who he feels are not loud enough.
"We are the team to get less support in home matches. When compared to my previous time I think it's getting worse," Mourinho said.
"I don't question the passion and the love - I'm nobody to question that and I know clearly that is not true.
"I will always love them and respect them, but I don't know (why there is a lack of atmosphere)."
