Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez’s decision-making frustrated his teammates in the 1–1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday, especially after he gave away a penalty.
In the first half, Pedro Neto was visibly annoyed when the goalkeeper chose to slow the play rather than pass quickly for a counter-attack.
Sanchez’s hesitation saw the Portuguese throw his arms up in frustration as an opportunity was lost, despite Neto’s strong performance overall.
While Sanchez is known for his shot-stopping abilities, repeated errors, including the penalty incident, are raising concerns about his reliability.
Manager Enzo Maresca still supports Sanchez, but these mistakes could eventually jeopardise his role as Chelsea’s starting goalkeeper.
