Sanchez looked like a rabbit in the headlights, Caicedo anonymous, Cucurella weak first half improved second, Colwill anonymous.
Indeed. Such a shame we didn't take advantage. They'd be on his back and the calls to get Ramsdale in would increase and poor sulky Bob could find himself no.2 againI thought Sanchez was shocking, if we’d scored from his mistakes they would turned on them.
Dint really notice Colwill or Caicedo. Thought Cucu had a good game - took a bit of a kicking
You've obviously never watched Nick Pope closely!Never seen a goalkeeper launch the ball straight out of play as much as Sanchez was. His players were visibly annoyed at that.
Surely if someone just closes their eyes and hacks at it randomly they would expect to find a team mate nearly 50% of the time?Clear to see why Sanchez was deemed surplus to requirements.
Last night he completed just 22 of 41 passes (54%)
Verbruggen completed 33 of 34. (97%)
He’s a decent keeper.People talk a lot on the “Brighton fleecing Chelsea” topic about Caicedo, Cucurella and Potter, but honestly Sanchez might be the worst bit of business I’ve seen one of the big 6 do in a long time
We were controlling the game in midfield and Chelsea can only respond with an ankle breaker of a tackle there. We were robbed. Was philosophical enough when I thought it was just our poor finishing that let them off the hook - but the fact that the ref had a big hand in it too means I'm still spitting bricks a day onThe only frustration of last night is how overwhelmingly average Chelsea were, provided nothing other than a couple of long balls, then scored an iffy possible offside goal, and more than likely should’ve been down to 10. Caicedo provides nothing to that team, a complete waste. Sanchez other than a couple of routine stops that were straight at him, was abysmal.
He's an OK shot stopper. He's not even remotely suited to the modern goalkeeping tactics of a sweeper-keeper employed by all the top teams these days (including us). It's such a massive backward step for a club the size of Chelsea to have him as their number one.He’s a decent keeper.
