“He’s still doing same mistake for is country” – Chelsea fans are losing patience in ‘inconsistent’ player after watching him for his country
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The quality and depth of the Chelsea squad have had a predictable outcome: the manager has spent the last week watching the bulk of his players jet off to represent their countries. Yet, amid the international chaos, Enzo Maresca is finally catching a break, with several key figures making their way back to first-team training ahead of a crucial Premier League clash against his former club, Leicester City.
Jadon Sancho, notably, has rejoined training sessions after recovering from injury. Meanwhile, many of his teammates remain scattered across the globe, wrapping up their final international commitments for 2024. But all is not well within Chelsea’s midfield ranks—Romeo Lavia, sidelined with a hamstring issue, has been forced to withdraw from representing his nation. This development could necessitate a shake-up in the center of the park, posing yet another tactical dilemma for Maresca.
The Goalkeeper Debate: Sanchez Under Fire
One area where Maresca is unlikely to make changes is in goal, where Robert Sanchez seems firmly entrenched as the starting goalkeeper. However, his performances continue to fuel debate.
Sanchez’s season has been marred by inconsistency, a point driven home during his international appearance for Spain. A goal conceded at his near post left critics unimpressed, with even former Arsenal legend David Seaman branding his campaign so far as lackluster.
Chelsea fans, as expected, didn’t hold back their frustrations. Twitter lit up with pointed remarks:
- “Robert Sanchez beaten at his near post again, this guy will be the end of Maresca if care is not taken.”
- “Ladies and gentlemen… Robert SANCHEZ.”
- “Robert Sanchez lol.”
- “Virtually every Chelsea player on int duty is performing well… then there’s Robert Sanchez.”
- “Robert Sanchez beaten at his near post again!”
The chorus of discontent reflects growing doubts over Sanchez’s reliability, with fans calling for changes between the posts.
Filip Jorgensen: Waiting in the Wings
Behind the scenes, the calls for Filip Jorgensen to make his Premier League debut are growing louder. The summer signing has so far been limited to cup competitions, where he has shown flashes of promise at Stamford Bridge.
Yet, despite the pressure, Maresca has stuck with Sanchez, seemingly hoping that faith in his goalkeeper will yield results. As the Premier League gears up to resume, the spotlight will be firmly on Sanchez. Can he rise to the challenge and repay his manager’s trust, or will the calls for Jorgensen’s promotion grow impossible to ignore?
As Chelsea fans eagerly anticipate the weekend fixture, the question looms: is stability in goal a distant dream, or can the Blues find their footing once more?
