Chelsea’s decision makers and Enzo Maresca hit new low with ratings verdict – opinion

We all know how bad Robert Sanchez is and we are all angry and completely puzzled as to why the manager keeps picking him, and why the club have not already replaced him with a top new number one.

This is probably THE worst situation and THE most baffling one at our club right now, and there are many.

But Sanchez has hit a new low this week as he has been rated the WORST goalkeeper in the Premier League by FootballFancast.

These guys use a lot of stats and do a lot of good analysis on their site, and they have gone through every Premier League goalkeeper.

FootballFancast have put together their list of Premier League goalkeepers and ranked them from best to worst, with 1 being the best.

They say they have taken into account the level of their performances and whether they meet the required standards of their current team.

Arsenal’s David Raya is number 1, followed by Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels as number 2. Even Chelsea’s on loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at Bournemouth is at number 7.

But you have to go all the way to the bottom of the list to number 20 to find Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez!

The publication writes:

‘Simply put, a player as poor as Robert Sanchez should not be Chelsea No 1. However, that’s the position the Blues are in despite splashing the cash on a number of goalkeepers in recent years.

‘Sanchez has been as error-prone as they come, flapping at crosses, giving away possession and being the furthest thing from Petr Cech in his heyday.

‘The Spaniard has been so bad, that his own manager even resorted to publicly calling him out, yet this has not had the desired effect of improving his performances.

‘Also making five errors leading to goals this season, Sanchez’s displays have been pretty disastrous this term, and for a club aiming to qualify for the Champions League, this arguably represents the biggest mismatch in the top flight.’

Here are the rankings in full:

1. David Raya
2. Matz Sells
3. Alisson
4. Emi Martinez
5. Jordan Pickford
6. Bernd Leno
7. Kepa Arrizabalaga
8. Ederson
9. Mark Flekken
10. Mads Hermansen
11. Dean Henderson
12. Nick Pope
13. Bart Verbruggen
14. Guglielmo Vicario
15. Alphonse Areola
16. Aaron Ramsdale
17. Andre Onana
18. Jose Sa
19. Arijanet Muric
20. Robert Sanchez

I don’t know, maybe this is too harsh, right? Even below Andre Onana!? Maybe I’m just trying to save a bit of embarrassment here.
