Chelsea’s Premier League title hopes took a hit following a dramatic 2-1 loss to Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day. Despite leading for the first 70 minutes, the Blues conceded two late goals, to further widen the gap between themselves and league leaders Liverpool.

Much of the blame from fans has been directed at goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who was criticised for his role in Fulham’s second goal. The Spaniard stood motionless as the decisive strike went past him, after a poor clearance, thus sparking outrage among Chelsea supporters.

Manager Enzo Maresca has consistently backed Sanchez as his undisputed No. 1, but fans on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) are questioning his decision.

Westco: “Then @ChelseaFC will continue to fail because Sanchez will never win them any major trophy. Maresca and Chelsea are clueless for picking a disastrous Sanchez as their number one after signing 8 goalkeepers. It’s pathetic.”

Fawaz: “But Chelsea have full faith in Robert Sanchez as their No. 1. Could someone please identify ‘Chelsea’? Is it the coach? Are they the SDs? Is it Egghead Eghbali? Who has faith in Sanchez? I bet most Chelsea fans have no faith in the process that is going on. Sanchez is mediocre.”

Aung Myo Htet: “Robert Sanchez makes too many mistakes and should be replaced by another goalkeeper.”

Pgou: “We win back possession just for Sanchez to give it away every f**** time. His shot-stopping is second to none, but football unfortunately has moved on from his type of profile.”

Samuel: “We will never win the league with Sanchez as the No. 1. Mad how the club do not see it.”
