Wasn’t Big Rob top 4 of the aerial claims chart for a long time whilst he was first choice?
For me that was his biggest strength but obviously as he tried to claim the ball a lot he did sometimes drop the ball or flap and that is inevitably punished, Steele doesn’t come for as many but he still...
Chelsea fans are hilarious.
The only goal out of the 4 he’s conceded that I would say he could have done better with was the Liverpool one, he was slightly flat footed there, people saying he should have saved that Antonio shot are delusional.
So easy to blame a goalkeeper, how about the...
I want Chelsea to fail but once all is said and done I do hope big Bob has a good career, things went wrong here but we all know there is an elite keeper potential in there somewhere.
Real Madrid keeper Courtois looks like being out for a long time, done his ACL.
Wonder if Big Robert will be regretting this Chelsea move now as I’d imagine he might have been on their radar as a temporary fill in for him?
Aside from that Palace one last season, has there been that many clangers?? For every clanger there was probably 50 high balls he claimed, just that when a mistake is made claiming a high ball it invariably leads to a clear chance for the opposition.
Maybe my memory is bad but I don’t remember...
Both can be true:
Sanchez acted like a prize berk and let the club/fans down, Whilst at the same time, the way Roberto dealt with the situation publicly wasn’t ideal, let’s be fair here he’s got an obviously big ego and being dropped for a guy who has previously been nowhere near the starting...
Goalkeepers have a special ego - I’ve heard lots of ex pros talking about this in various podcasts.
Put it this way if I was Sanchez, being quite publicly dropped and told to improve for a goalkeeper who pre-RDZ, let’s be honest none of us thought could ever be our #1, it must be a very tough...
Very true, right now it’s a good deal like I said, angry player with a bad attitude gone but…..
In 2 years time if he’s one of the top keepers in the world £25m will look like a bargain for Chelsea, I think people do forget how good Sanchez is because of the Palace mistake and his drop in form...
Whilst I think right now 25M+ add ons is a very good deal for us, it’s one I do think could come back to haunt us in the future..
He is a very talented goalkeeper with a high ceiling, he’s prone to mistakes but I think he could be one of the best in the world one day, if he nails down his flaws.
