(Video): Chelsea player booed by his own fans after error | OneFootball

Robert Sanchez remains the big talking point of this Chelsea team. Every time his manager comes out to defend him, it just makes his next clanger all the more frustrating.

We’ve had a couple of warnings today already – the goalkeeper fumbling and stumbling and showing his usual nerviness on the ball. It felt like a matter of time before he cost us a goal, and indeed that has happened.

Sometimes he’s dropping a high ball, sometimes he’s giving away a penalty unnecessarily, sometimes he’s kicking the ball to the opposition. In this case, he roamed far from his goal and was lobbed by Erling Haaland.

That takes him to 5 errors leading to goals this season – the joint most in the league. The second placed keeper in that table has lost his place in the team – when will Sanchez suffer the same fate? Or do we have to suffer Enzo Maresca defending him for another week?

It’s not just Sanchez’s fault. We were gifted a goal to make it 1-0 in this game and then failed to make our chances count and conceded two dreadful goals. The first one can be blamed more on Noni Madueke than the Spaniard. But still, when you want to rely on your last man back we can’t and that’s fatal.

Away fans lose patience after latest blunder

The away fans, who had been so cheerful to start the game after the opening goal, then ended up booing Sanchez when he touched the ball. They’ve finally had enough. These sporting directors bought Brighton’s second best keeper, then a series of other options they don’t rate as any better. The hundreds of millions sprayed on random teenagers could so much have been better spent just securing one really solid goalkeeper.
