Former Chelsea forward Joe Cole has questioned Liam Rosenior’s policy of rotating goalkeepers Filip Jorgensen and Robert Sanchez. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the constant changes in goal could easily undermine the confidence of Chelsea goalkeepers, and a settled number one is essential for the Blues to bridge the gap to the Premier League’s elite contenders.
He, however, agreed that the Blues will need to upgrade their current goalkeeping options.
His words, “You want to get into the mind of a goalkeeper. When I spoke to Ben, he said absolutely a keeper needs a run of games because it’s already a lonely position. You need to feel the full confidence of your manager.
It was a remarkable game because although he conceded five goals and made one big mistake, he actually played quite well. Chelsea’s goalkeepers have to cut out their mistakes. It’s becoming a regular thing.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
