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. Carragher questioned Sanchez’s bravery, particularly during Jones’ winner, suggesting that the goalkeeper turned away from the ball, demonstrating fear. Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, noted Sanchez’s lack of presence compared to former greats like Peter Schmeichel, claiming Chelsea needs a new keeper to reach their desired level again. 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.
