“I’m sorry to say, but he can no longer work under me at Chelsea”- Enzo Maresca breaks £53M forgotten Chelsea star’s heart and tells him to look for a new club by January- It’s the End

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana attributes “small details” to the Blues’ persistent struggle with protecting leads, following their latest setback—a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Enzo Maresca’s squad has now dropped 13 points at home this season after holding winning positions, and their dismal run of just one victory in seven Premier League matches has seen them slip out of the coveted top-four spots. Against Bournemouth, Chelsea squandered numerous opportunities to capitalize on their dominance, echoing their disappointing performance in the December 27 defeat to Aston Villa.

“It was a challenging match,” Fofana reflected. “We gave everything but failed to put the game to bed in the second half. We created several chances but couldn’t convert them. Finishing games is essential, and it’s a responsibility we all share—not just the forwards.”

The match saw an early Bournemouth lead through David Brooks after just six minutes, though Cole Palmer leveled from the spot. Enzo Fernandez’s stunning strike into the top corner appeared to have secured a desperately needed victory, only for Justin Kluivert to equalize before halftime, slotting home unmarked at the far post.

“We must improve and analyze our performances to make progress,” Fofana stressed. “Conceding two goals is frustrating, but it’s still only December—there’s time to develop.” He remained cautiously optimistic, noting the team is edging closer to consistency despite missing crucial details. “It’s been an unpredictable year, but securing Champions League football and winning the Club World Cup were significant achievements.”

Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s winless league streak has stretched to 10 matches, plummeting them from second place in October to 15th. However, they’ve lost just once in their last five outings. Midfielder Alex Scott expressed satisfaction with their improved fighting spirit: “Playing at a venue like Chelsea is always difficult. While our second-half possession wasn’t ideal, we defended excellently—it was a marked improvement. Scoring twice from set pieces is definitely encouraging.”
