Chelsea Fans Express Frustration With Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in Win Against Newcastle

Mixed Reactions During Chelsea’s 2-1 Victory

Chelsea fans faced a tense first half in their team’s recent 2-1 win over Newcastle United. Despite Nicolas Jackson’s opener, which marked his sixth goal of the season, frustrations grew after Cole Palmer’s early strike was ruled out for offside, and Alexander Isak equalized for Newcastle soon after.

Spotlight on Robert Sanchez

Much of the frustration at Stamford Bridge was directed toward Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, particularly due to his inconsistent passing. Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman recently described Sanchez as “inconsistent,” a sentiment shared by many Chelsea supporters. His distribution during the game, especially in high-pressure situations, left fans visibly disappointed.

Not His Worst Performance This Season

While Sanchez’s performance against Newcastle didn’t reach his lowest point this season, it still sparked discontent. His struggles were more evident in Chelsea’s clash against his former club, Brighton & Hove Albion, where his errors directly contributed to goals for the visitors. Notably, Sanchez has shown solid form in other matches, such as the 3-0 victory over West Ham, where he registered seven saves.

Maresca Stands by Sanchez as No.1

Although some fans are growing impatient, manager Enzo Maresca remains committed to Sanchez as Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper, ahead of Filip Jorgensen. Despite the Spain international’s ups and downs since joining from Brighton in a £25 million move last summer, Maresca appears ready to give him more time to adapt.
