Robert Sanchez is a talking point right now among the Chelsea fan base following his performance against Arsenal over the weekend.
Sanchez was at fault for Arsenal’s winner, while his distribution was questionable throughout the entire 90 minutes.
At one stage during the match, all Liam Rosenior could do was put his head in his hands as he visibly showed his frustration after his goalkeeper almost lost possession at the edge of the box.

Chelsea fans want Robert Sanchez gone
Understandably, Chelsea supporters were also frustrated with Sanchez and expressed that frustration over here on TalkingPoints.
Several Chelsea fans thought that the 28-year-old was to blame for the Blues’ defeat to Arsenal and have even called for him to be replaced.
One Chelsea supporter said: “He is a liability and has been for a very long time. Get rid.” Another wrote: “Sanchez must be replaced.”
One TalkingPoints user also said: “Sanchez… should not play again.”

While Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper had a difficult afternoon at the Emirates, his Arsenal counterpart shone.
According to former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf, it was easy to see the difference between Sanchez and Raya.
Potential candidates to replace Robert Sanchez
If Todd Boehly and the other decision makers at Chelsea decide to replace Sanchez in the summer, the logical thing to do would be to give Mike Penders a shot between the sticks.
It is a well-known fact that Chelsea really believe in Penders, while the Belgian has impressed at Strasbourg this season.
However, at 20, he is still quite young and the Blues may want a more experienced player for the position.
In terms of potential options outside of the club, Chelsea have been linked with Sunderland’s Robin Roefs.
Sanchez now needs to have a strong finish to the season, but that still may not be enough to convince Chelsea supporters, who have clearly run out of patience with the former Brighton & Hove Albion man.
