Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has claimed the problem with Chelsea fans is that they are really impatient.

Parlour told aceodds.com: “The problem you’ve got with fans is they’re really impatient. He’s taken a massive step up from Brighton. So it’s a totally different club.

“At Brighton you can lose two or three games and you get away with it, then you win the next couple and you’re okay.

“Chelsea, the expectations are so high. You want to be challenging for the top four, not just that, but trying to challenge for the title.

“They’ve been there under Jose [Mourinho] and other different managers.

“So but I do feel sorry for him as well, because they’re bought loads of players and you’ve got to let him have a chance to get his right formation.

“I don’t think he knows his best team yet, that’s the big problem.”
