Ben Foster, who is usually the uncommon pundit who’s optimistic on Chelsea and has continued to be even via the poisonous instances, has spoken the reality on Robert Sanchez this week.
Who higher to hearken to on the power of a goalkeeper than an skilled one who was fairly good between the sticks throughout his 23-year profession?
I at all times price what Foster says, I feel he’s particularly reasonable and balanced. And within the latter finish of his profession, he was additionally an excellent keeper so could be very certified to talk on present goalkeepers within the recreation.
Let’s be sincere, Foster is just not the one pundit, fan or journalist who has been constantly saying that Sanchez is simply not adequate to be Chelsea primary. However the query is, will the membership lastly realise this and take motion? Fairly merely, they should.
Foster spoke about Robert Sanchez on his YouTube present this week:
“He’s a specimen, he’s an athlete, and he could make a number of the finest saves you will notice. However simply a number of the targets that go in, I simply assume no, like that may’t go in that simply.
“That’s how I choose a goalkeeper in any case, I don’t want to actually have a look at the saves, I want to take a look at the targets that go in. May you stop these targets getting into? There’s too many already.”
This can be a utterly honest take, and he’s even complimented Sanchez. It’s not just a few wild and unfair rant like many have put on the market on Sanchez. Some have been a bit too harsh at instances to be sincere.
I’ve at all times stated this myself – Sanchez has had a few class video games in a Chelsea shirt this season; he’s made some terrific saves and has performed effectively. However sadly he has had extra poor video games than good, and he has given away targets with errors, or pictures that he ought to have saved. That’s his situation, it’s consistency, and it’s lapses of focus and mind farts. That has at all times been his downside.
I don’t assume anybody ought to doubt whether or not he could make a world class save. After all he can, it’s his job in spite of everything. However the mushy targets that he permits, as Foster says, outweighs these good moments by rather a lot.
And if Chelsea wish to problem for a title once more, which they do, then they’ll’t be carrying simply above common gamers in any place on the sphere.
So Chelsea, don’t hearken to me, hearken to the skilled goalkeeper turned pundit who is definitely very balanced and honest along with his view above!
