Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has admitted that every player at the club should bear the responsibility of scoring goals and not just the forwards.

Fofana grabbed the winner in the Blues’ 1-0 victory at home to Leeds United on Saturday, easing the mounting pressure on head coach Graham Potter.

A stat revealing that Chelsea had scored just five goals in all competitions since the start of November – the lowest tally among all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in that time – went viral earlier this week, while they went into Saturday’s match having won one of their 11 games in 2023.

Both Potter and club co-owner Todd Boehly spoke of their relief at getting a good result on the board post-match.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Fofana insisted that the whole squad should be working to solve their scoring crisis.

“Not nerves but excitement for the win, the fans and the club. It is a difficult situation but everyone in the club pushes for a win,” Fofana began.

“Yesterday in training we worked on set-pieces and today I scored one. It’s a good feeling.

“It’s not a problem [being the goalscorer]. Every player is an attacker or a defender. Today it is me but in other games, every player can score.”

8 defensive players against Leeds after 70 mins. The earlier this clueless owners see it the better. Dortmund will be licking their lips right now.

Story of our season, we just cannot score

Before we all get ready for the open-top bus parade, let’s not forget Brigthon won 4:0 today against West Ham, Leeds’ neighbours in the EPL table. That is the difference between Potter and de Zerbi.

Reece James injured again WTF. Becoming useless

The dm must hate this. They thought they would be writing about Potter having to be sacked if they lost. Even though true.

We’ve needed to buy a proven striker for over 4 seasons, but year after year we’re reliant on Barn Door Bamford and lately Rodrigo. Now both are injured and our latest record buy is useless and unproven at a senior level. We’re impotent in front of goal.

Sterling was world class today but you won’t see his stupid haters mention him today until he has an average game. If Chelsea had a proper striker upfront he would have had at least two assists.

6 for Havertz very very Generous

I was at the game and thought Chelsea were truly awful. A relief to win but that doesn’t make it a good performance or promising in any way. Just looked at the table and noticed that Chelsea, along with Arsenal and Man City, have the best defence in the league.

Lying in 10th and under pressure from the clubs below that really puts their inability to score in sharp perspective.

Like I said, I do not expect much. Mext games will be losses. Boely and Potter has been helped in this game. Next it will be usual we have been seen.

I’m still trying to work out why there were loads of rowdy Leeds fans on the 1754 train from Liverpool Lime Street to York when they were playing in London?

Today Boely and Potter were saved by the 3rd win is in the 12th match. This has been great work even I cannot remember in Chelsea history sinc e I became Chelsea fun 20 years such a performance has been registered.

Good lord! It’s almost like they won the Champions League. It’s just Leeds, boys! And you’re still 10th in the table.

‘Started on the left but moved inside and inluenrial all over the pitch’??? What on earth does ‘inluenrial’ mean as it sounds revolting. Is it a stomach complaint? Was he leaving droppings everywhere or something? Please stop making your own words up.

10th placed beat 17th placed at home, scoring a single goal. Apart from the cost of their squads there’s not much between them.

No Mount, No Ziyech. First win of the season. Funny that .. But will Potter learn?

Wesley Fofana sends message to misfiring Chelsea teammates - Elliott Fogg - Mar 30, 2023 3:29 am

Can you give less than zero for RLC? The only midfield player in the world that can’t tackle or defend? What a waste of space and resource.

Wesley Fofana sends message to misfiring Chelsea teammates - Steve York - Mar 30, 2023 7:22 am

Ref let Fofana barge Firpo off the ball, no free kick. Twice a Chelsea player was barged off the ball, both given free kicks. Consistency should be first thing a ref should be doing.

So frustrating for Leeds this season,if you look at our stats we are only ever beaten by one no team this season has really played us off the park but we just can’t get a winning run together need Rodrigo back I think him up front with rutter would work

Wesley Fofana sends message to misfiring Chelsea teammates - Mattie Michaels - Apr 1, 2023 1:14 pm

Fofana was MOTM simply because he scored the winner, everyone on display yesterday was crap.
