Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor has said that he would rather play away at present, to avoid being booed by the club's supporters at White Hart Lane.
Spurs were given a hostile reception when they lost 2-1 to Stoke City, and the Togolese forward believes that the atmosphere at home is not helping their cause.
"When you are playing in front of your own crowd you want them to support you, but now it's like going through a sad moment and your family isn't welcoming you home," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying. "That's the worst thing ever because you have nowhere to go.
"I was on the bench against Stoke and, though I could not see everything, I could see that nobody wanted the ball. It's hard for the players. It's not their fault and it's not the fans' fault either because the fans want to see a result, the fans want to see a response and things are not going our way.
"But it might be better to play away because at least we know beforehand we are guaranteed to be booed by the opposition. When you are playing at home and your own fans start booing you after a few minutes then it is harder."
Spurs' latest defeat saw them slump to 12th in the Premier League table.
