Chelsea first choice goal keeper, Robert Sanchez is public enemy number one for Chelsea fans right now, and it’s not getting any easier.
The first significant chance of the weekend’s game against Tottenham came from a Sanchez mistake, when he put Benoit Badiashile under pressure with a bad pass.
There were more ricks to come – including two terrible goal kicks direct to Spurs players in our own half.
It’s not just the occasional bad kick or dodgy touch that’s the problem. It’s the way that those mistakes spread fear through a young team.
It’s like the reverse of having John Terry marshalling your back line. You’ve got the opposition fans getting excited every time your goalkeeper touches the ball, panic spreading through your own side.
Moreover, the Spanish Goalkeeper has blamed the defenders for Chelsea defensive blunders.
Speaking to Footyvalid reporters after the game against Spurs, Sanchez said…
“I did my best, The First two goals weren’t the keepers fault… “We conceded two goals because of Cucu and a couple of chances from where we wrong in the build-up.
” It’s good that We create chances, we controlled the game, we keep the ball. Then at half-time, we changed something tactically and in the second-half, we deserved to win.”
Meanwhile, Maresca has backed Sanchez time and time again, despite his inconsistent performance for the blue. When he makes a mistake, he blames himself as the manager for asking a lot of his stopper.
Maresca won’t have his mind changed by a few mistakes today, but eventually the weight of pressure on him to make a change from these accumulated errors is surely going to be too much to handle.
