It is fair to say that former Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge is not a fan of two players at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night, and Bridge was asked which one he would rather see start the match.
His response was quite telling, emphasising the problem that Liam Rosenior has.
Has he seen us lately? 🤣

Wayne Bridge has no preference between Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen
The players in question are Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, with it being clear that Bridge is not a fan of either.
Speaking to The Sun, the retired full-back said: “Honestly, I’d probably just flip a coin. There isn’t that much difference between the pair of them.”
The spotlight has really been on Sanchez and Jorgensen in recent weeks. It all started after the former’s shaky performance against Arsenal in the Premier League at the start of the month.

He was replaced by Jorgensen for the next match, a 4-1 win over Aston Villa, where the 23-year-old had quite a good game.
It saw him keep his place in goal for the first leg of Chelsea’s last 16 Champions League tie against PSG. But Jorgensen had a night to forget after costing his side a goal.
In the future, either he or Sanchez could be replaced by Mike Penders, though it is thought that Chelsea are unsure what to do with Penders right now.
Robert Sanchez is EASILY the superior goalkeeper
Sanchez is not flawless and has made errors just as Jorgensen has since joining Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023.
Who is Chelsea’s best goalkeeper?
However, the Spaniard has not made too many this season and is a much more confident goalkeeper than his rival. Comparing the two, while Bridge may disagree, Sanchez is the better shot-stopper.
His save percentage is still quite high, with the 28-year-old saving 70.1% of shots he has faced in the Premier League this season, according to FBref.
Between now and the end of the campaign, Sanchez should be Chelsea’s No.1. Jorgensen got his chance and blew it on the biggest stage possible.
