A former Chelsea player says that one current Blues man does not look assured on the ball and has raised some real doubts.
These comments are even more interesting because the player making the comments played in the same position as the current player he is talking about.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea hold second round of talks to sign 6ft 4in centre back!
We all saw it on Wednesday night in the 3-2 defeat against Arsenal. Old Robert Sanchez was back for Chelsea, and he was back with a vengeance. It had many Chelsea fans asking whether we have been using Sanchez’s twin all season, a better version of the former Sanchez!
Sanchez made two massive errors leading to goals in the game and as well as that, his distribution out from the back playing it short was horrendous.
It was down to substitute Alejandro Garnacho to be the one to keep Chelsea in the game with two goals on the night, including an impressive technical effort to get it back to 3-2 from 3-1 down.

Former Chelsea stopper Rob Green has admitted that he now has some concerns about Sanchez due to the way Liam Rosenior wants to play out short from the back.
Speaking to Football Daily, Green still thinks Sanchez will remain no.1 number one though.
But he suggested he’d rather Jorgensen: “He will stick with Sanchez. Look at how they’re playing, they’re looking to lure the press, they have the double pivot, they have the overload around their own goal.
“But it was hairy at times. Sanchez didn’t look assured on the ball. That’s the difference. That’s where Jorgensen can play. He’s got shortcomings in terms of shot-stopping attributes and stuff like that.
“But, playing out, all of a sudden it throws in a different dimension. These errors… [you have to ask] ‘well what are you bringing to the party?’ If you’re going to cost us goals and not be able to play out as well.”
