Chelsea news: Stamford Bridge is a quiet stadium lacking in atmosphere, claims former midfielder Steve Sidwell

Steve Sidwell does not rate the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea fans have made themselves heard this season, but mainly when voicing their disapproval, with chants of f*** Sarri-ball and jeers for Blues midfielder Jorginho.And Sidwell believes the 41,000-seater stadium can be a difficult place to play.Some stadiums get up for the big games more than others, he told Jim White on talkSPORT. But generally, unless theres real entertainment on the pitch, its a quiet stadium.Thats from playing there and going as an opposition player as well.Blues supporters have had little to shout about this season, with the club currently languishing in sixth-place in the Premier League.

The Blues were recently hit with a two-window transfer ban and reports continue to link Eden Hazard with a summer move to Real Madrid.According to Sidwell, Chelsea could be in deep trouble if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.They have to finish in the top four. Theres huge pressure for them, they cant go two seasons without finishing in the top four.

Especially with the transfer ban and everything thats going on with Hazard. Theyre going to have to try and promote youth products.Id love to see [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek, Im a massive fan and I really want to see him get a run of games.Give [Callum] Hudson-Odoi a run of games as well. You want to see these youngsters come through and be given a chance at the top level.2

Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek are getting more opportunities for Chelsea

Chelsea could also qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, and they have been gifted a favourable route to the final.Maurizio Sarris men face Slavia Prague in the quarter-finals, and should they win, Benfica or Frankfurt will be waiting in the last four.And one of Chelseas main rivals will go out in the quarters after Arsenal and Napoli were drawn against each other.
