On the last whistle, the boos rang out from the followers. Not for the primary time. They weren’t extended however they had been audible sufficient and this felt like one other damaging outcome for the more and more under-pressure head coach.
Commercial
Enzo Maresca to Manchester Metropolis? We all know Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo could be on his method there however certainly if Chelsea keep on like this, Maresca will likely be out of the operating to – at some point, as he would seem to hope – succeed Pep Guardiola. That appears much more like a pipe dream.
In saying that, he might be a free agent. Chelsea can’t tolerate far more of this after deservedly claimed a draw – and conceded what gave the impression to be a gentle penalty – which meant Maresca’s aspect misplaced floor within the race for a Champions League place.
It may have been worse with substitute Enes Unal fluffing an excellent probability in harm time after he was picked out, unmarked. He shot over. Bournemouth haven’t gained away since August and are 10 video games and not using a victory however will imagine they need to have gained right here.
Their coach, Andoni Iraola, actually thought so and conceded he would have been happy with a degree beforehand however felt his aspect ought to have had all three. That mentioned all of it about how weak Chelsea had been.
Commercial
Qualifying for the Champions League would seem like a minimal requirement for Maresca however it’s now one win in seven league video games and, but once more, Chelsea surrendered a lead having turned issues round in a chaotic first half.
It means Chelsea have dropped 15 factors from profitable positions – matching their whole for the entire of final season. And we’re solely precisely midway by way of the present marketing campaign.
How important, additionally, was the response to Cole Palmer – once more – being substituted, simply as he was within the dwelling defeat to Aston Villa on the weekend?

There have been extra loud boos and even chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing” aimed toward Maresca after Palmer was taken off with little greater than an hour performed. Palmer walked across the pitch and there was the briefest of handshakes – extra a slight contact of fingers – with Maresca.
Commercial
In fact, the England worldwide was removed from his finest. However the followers spoke and he appeared distinctly sad and whereas Chelsea had been higher within the second-half, with Estêvão Willian a rising affect along with his pleasant shut management and dribbling, they may not make the breakthrough. It seems like Maresca is strolling a tightrope at Chelsea proper now.
Afterwards, the Italian was not properly sufficient to hold out his media duties along with his assistant Willy Caballero doing the speaking. What of these boos? “In fact any supporter needs to have the perfect gamers on the pitch and we wish to have the perfect gamers on the pitch as properly however Cole is getting back from a protracted, lengthy harm,” Caballero defined. “We have to discover a method for the fitting substitutions for the sport.”
And Maresca’s sickness? “He didn’t really feel properly even within the final two days. He had a little bit of a temperature two days in the past. He ready the group for this sport however afterwards he went into the altering room and requested me to switch him,” Caballero mentioned. Changing him only for the press convention it have to be identified.
No marvel Maresca felt sick. Each Bournemouth objectives got here from lengthy throws launched by Semenyo with Metropolis hoping to finalise the signing of the winger who has a £65m launch clause in his contract which is lively from January 1-10.
Commercial
This can be his final sport for Bournemouth – who hope to maintain him for an additional week – but when he does be a part of Metropolis earlier than the weekend his first opponent might be Chelsea who will journey to the Etihad with Moisés Caicedo suspended. The stress is rising.
Chelsea began with a group with a median of simply 23 years and 157 days, the youngest within the Premier League this season, however Maresca was pressured to tear that up with a sequence of substitutions as they struggled.
December usually seems like a merciless month for Chelsea – even going again to the primary flush of José Mourinho – they usually have ended it with simply six factors from a potential 18.
January doesn’t look any simpler with one other 9 video games throughout 4 competitions. “It’s our goal to enhance,” Caballero mentioned. It’s not only a goal however a necessity.
Commercial
And the objectives? Chelsea have to get again on the coaching floor and work on their defending. For the primary, Alejandro Garnacho, who had a stunning sport and was hooked at half-time, watched as a flick-on reached David Brooks. Robert Sánchez repelled his header however the Bournemouth captain bundled dwelling the rebound.
For the second, Trevoh Chalobah headed on one other lengthy throw for Justin Kluivert to stab dwelling.
In between Chelsea scored twice, with Semenyo deemed to have pushed over Estêvão. The penalty was given after a VAR intervention with Palmer changing earlier than Enzo Fernández gave Chelsea the lead with a positive end.
However regardless of Chelsea pushing, Bournemouth had the higher probabilities, particularly within the first half. And particularly in harm time by way of Unal. If that had gone within the air would have been mutinous.

“It was a tricky sport, a tough sport. We tried to offer every part however whenever you concede two objectives in that method, it makes issues difficult at this degree. We simply didn’t see the sport out within the second half, we had been making probabilities however didn’t rating so it was tough. However we performed properly tonight, we had been strong though we conceded two objectives. We have to proceed like this and I hope the longer term is nice. We conceded the 2 objectives in the identical method, on a primary contact and a primary ball. It’s not only one participant’s fault, it’s everybody that should do higher. We have to analyse what occurred and progress from that. We have to study to kill video games. We have to study to attain when we now have the possibility. We do attempt every part although and typically it’s only a bit like this.”
On whether or not this was a missed alternative for 3 factors:
“In fact. When we don’t win, we miss a chance. We take one level tonight, which is tough. We have to progress in January for certain and win extra video games. This season will not be completed so we have to proceed engaged on us, that’s it. We’re near the group we wish to be, we’re simply lacking some small particulars. In fact we’re younger, however we have to be extra mature.”
