Gary Neville predicts which position Chelsea will change to imitate Liverpool | OneFootball

Jamie Redknapp made it very clear during his punditry on yesterday’s game that he thought Robert Sanchez’s time at Chelsea was coming to an end because the pressure of his mistakes were building up to an unsupportable point.

That idea was taken up by Gary Neville, who had been on commentary for the game for Sky Sports, on his podcast after full time:

“We have to talk about the goalkeeper. That wouldn’t have been a goal if the goalkeeper isn’t 25 yards off his line at the edge of the box. What is he doing?”, Neville thundered.

“I mean he’s making a lot of errors and I remember a few years ago that I was quite tough on Karius at Liverpool when he was coming through and making errors. Liverpool were a team that were growing to a point where they could win the title, but they wouldn’t have won a title with Karius in net because he was making too many errors. It’s a too important position and I think Chelsea at this point in time are going to have to look at their goalkeeper.”

“Look at their goalkeeper” can only mean one thing, we all know it. But we can’t see them panic buy in this last week of January. They’ll have to soldier on until the summer.

Gary Neville is now saying it: Chelsea can’t continue like this. The fans have been saying it for months, most of them for the whole 18 months that Sanchez has been here. So when are the sporting directors (or Enzo Maresca, depending on who you think actually makes these decisions) going to see it too?

We could just about forgive the blunder or signing Sanchez. But the blunder of keeping him, and playing him, is unforgivable.
