Stamford Bridge is no longer a fortress

Portuguese José Mourinho was able to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's stadium, was a bastion impregnable to all its rivals. Now, however, the team's Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari is suffering at home.

Chelsea signed on Sunday against West Ham at its fourth tie of the season "in a house that does not seem to her home" and missed an excellent opportunity to achieve the leadership of the English league.

"For us our house will no longer be our home. Do not set enough goals and I do not know what is happening," lamented Scolari, whose team lost in their stadium all that wins out. Liverpool remains leader of the classification of the Premier League with a point of difference on Londoners despite having also drawn against Hull on Saturday.

Stamford Bridge, which until this season was a very complicated feud, has become a weak square in which rivals scored easily. Until the defeat against Liverpool on October 27, the 'blues' wore an impressive streak of 86 matches, almost four and a half years without losing their playing field. The 'reds' drilled around the walls that now enter any plots.

The four draws, the derrrota against Liverpool and Arsenal do with the other already have slipped 14 points of the stadium 'blue'. "At home is where it hurts," could be read on the website of the club.

Scolari was booed during the match, while his namesake's West Ham, Italian Gianfranco Zola, former Chelsea player, was received with sympathy. "When I think of matches and the points we lost here (at Stamford Bridge), I can only give the reason for the fans," said Scolari, sympathetic with the fans' blue '.

The draw of Chelsea was shared by the rest of Liverpool's pursuers. Both Manchester United, third in the ranking, such as Arsenal, fifth, signed tables in their respective parties.

Scolari tried to apologize to the referee recriminando a course on Frank Lampard penalty in the final moments of the match. "So far we have not pitado not a criminal," complained the Brazilian.
