That 4th goal is the same sh*t he does every single game for us. Barely improved in all these years.

Three possibilities:

1. Ben Roberts is a hopeless goalkeeping coach
2. Robert Sanchez is too dumb to learn from his mistakes
3. Both of the above

Maybe one day we can stop bringing in peoploe from Brighton and actually focus on some quality signings and coaches.

Whoscored's view of Sanchez in that game : 

I think that might be the lowest rating I've ever seen on their website LOL.

First goal is hilarious. Best Sanchez brain fart yet LOL

he's comedy gold in quite a few places to be honest 🙂 

 

Dear oh dear. He really hasn't improved at all has he? Even his angry reactions are still the exact same.

I dont think Sanchez has got any worse since he joined. He was second choice at Brighton. It was probably for a reason. 

Another success story for the sporting directors in the making ....im assuming we bought him cheaply and will therefore be able to sell him on at a tidy profit.

His shot stopping has been excellent and we should be able to gloss over the small matter of his feet quite easily. 

Poch started with him. He got injured, came back and stayed on the bench.

Why was Poch not forced to drop Petrovic when Sanchez came back?

Think his selection is all on Maresca. 

So just how bad is Jorgensen?

The whole Rochdale stuff makes the fact we signed him, after Brighton booted him down the pecking order, even more ridiculously funny.

Thar video shows him doing the same stuff now as he did all those years back. Is incredible our "data driven recruitment" led us to believe he was a good signing.

My goodness.

25M and a 7 year contract

I've just found out some funny information, September 2019 I went to watch Peterborough vs Rochdale in a game where Peterborough won 6-0. I've only just realised that Robert Sanchez was the Rochdale goalie that day.

 

Jesus Christ. 5 years ago and the guy is still making exactly the same mistakes. How did he end up at Chelsea FFS? Can't believe people have tried defending him. He makes the odd great save (which is what keepers are supposed to do - what they're actually paid for), but the guy is a clown - stealing a living.

Whoever sanctioned us signing him in the first place should be sacked and the same goes for a coach who insists on keep picking him.

O dear God this is exactly the same mistakes he’s making now like he did 2019 and he’s our number one 🤬 

I can no longer defend Maresca here the guy hasn’t grown or learned anything.

And I bet you didn't realise that a certain "Ivan Toney" got a hat trick for Peterborough as well LOL

Match Report :  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49617798 

I quote : 

It was a day to forget for Dale goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from the moment Toney tackled him from two yards out, which saw the ball trickle over the line in the 18th minute.

The scoring began when Sanchez was embarrassed by Toney after collecting a Jimmy McNulty back pass.

And then later in the game : 

 then on 51 minutes Maddison took advantage of Sanchez's poor clearance to lob the goalkeeper.

 

How could I forget, probably the best player I've seen play at Posh, hence why I was so keen for us to sign him last summer. Maddison was such a good player as well but his career took a bit of a different path than Toney's after he left Peterborough.

Didn't think it could be physically possible for a Chelsea GK to be worse than Kepa.

It's bad enough we keep picking him but putting a statue outside the stadium is properly taking the piss.

He's only got half of his arms, no wonder he is so w**k. Also who ever created that image should be whipped in a public square every St. Crispin's Day.

Anyone know how Pendeds has performed in his games this season?

If we're not going further into the market next summer he (or a Donnarumma suddenly coming through) are the only hopes I have this goallie situation can be fixed.

Just have Jorgensen as #1 for now and see how Petrovic vs Penders do in a couple seasons. 

Let's see a  run of games with Jorgensen. If he's better then he stays in the team ; if he is worse than it's back to Sanchez I guess ... unless anyone fancies Bettinelli or Bergstrom LOL

I'm pretty much reaching Jim's levels with this fella so nothing against Bergstrom starting. 

If Sanchez keeps starting it's just going to spiral down with every mistake he makes, he needs a break to get his confidence back. Enzo would be doing him a favor taking him out of the firing line for a bit. It is possible to stick with your guy for too long to his detriment. It not a bad patch Sanchez is going through, it is at 27 what he is IMO.

Was a wild and stubborn decision to announce Sanchez as #1 before a training session had even begun after Petrovics performances in comparison to Sanchez’s last season.

Much like his substitutions/tactics/game management though I feel Maresca is too stubborn to admit defeat and will stick with Sanchez despite the noise around him, much like his insistence on playing Palmer through the middle despite him being much less effective and out RW being woeful at best.

If Sanchez keeps starting the fans will quickly turn on Maresca after Sanchez.

I think EM should get it more than Sanchez with the last few interviews he's done! What a joke! Absolute yes-man! He's starting him every week, no doubt being told to cause Ben Roberts is Sanchez's bum chum!

I think we'll find out if this is the case on Monday, after Maresca publicly backed him last week despite everyone else knowing he's toss Sanchez pulled out that abysmal performance against City. His position as starter is untenable to fans and I assume the players don't enjoy seeing their effort going up in smoke because of goalkeeper errors match after match. If Maresca starts him against West Ham he is either a complete puppet being told to play him, or he's a complete idiot.

Agreed, said as much earlier in this thread. The away fans booed Sanchez not Maresca at City however.
