Jamie Carragher criticized Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez following their 2-1 loss to Liverpool, stating that Sanchez must be replaced for Chelsea to return to their best. After Nicolas Jackson equalized Mohamed Salah’s penalty, Curtis Jones quickly restored Liverpool’s lead.

Despite the investment, Carragher believes upgrading the goalkeeping position is vital for Chelsea’s progress. He also noted Cole Palmer’s quieter performance, which allowed Liverpool’s midfield to dominate, while Chelsea struggled to utilize the space out wide.
