“Liability” – Reo-Coker says Chelsea need to improve one area to challenge for title

Former West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has pretty much hit the nail on the head with his latest opinions on Chelsea.

Reo-Coker, who also spent a chunk of his career at Aston Villa and also represented England up to U21 level, has been speaking about some Chelsea subjects after The Blues lost 2-1 to Liverpool on Sunday evening.

EXCLUSIVE! Barcelona eyeing Chelsea midfielders, Blues could capitalise on their interest in Barca defender – and also now eyeing Benfica centre back!

It wasn’t a vintage Liverpool performance mind, and Chelsea would have felt that they could have and should have got more out of this one.

Enzo Maresca was pleased with the performance of his Chelsea side after the game, and he also refused to blame one of the players who for me, was a massive let down once again, Robert Sanchez.

Chelsea need to improve goalkeeper position

Now 40-year-old Reo-Coker says that if Chelsea want to challenge for Premier League titles again then they simply must get a new stopper.

Nigel Reo-Coker on Robert Sánchez: “Sometimes he can be a liability for Chelsea. He is a top shot stopper but there are too many mistakes in him and lapses of concentration.

“They need to improve in the goalkeeping area for them to talk about winning Premier League titles.”

He’s spot on with this opinion. I don’t usually listen to Nigel much as a pundit, but maybe I will start needed to do so though.

Sanchez has just not been good enough since he joined Chelsea from Brighton, and it’s his mistakes that quite often ending up being the difference maker in games. Whilst he has also made some world class saves, being a a shot stopper, he also just has more mistakes in him than most and I think he is always more likely to lose Chelsea  a match single-handedly rather than win it.
