‘I saw him during the Arsenal vs Chelsea game and Sanchez, for such a big and imposing guy, he makes poor decisions.
‘He unsettles his own back four. He’s suppose to have a calming influence and it’s suppose to rub off on those guys. The best goalkeepers have the defenders turning round and thinking, “he’s got it.”
‘Robert Sanchez, unfortunately, can make some incredible saves, but too often he makes poor decisions.
‘I think there’s a nervousness about what he does and if you’ve got a goalie like that between your posts, that’s got to change.
‘If Chelsea wants to seriously over the next two or three years have a real tilt at winning the Premier League and I think there’s some way off that. But if they do, then they’re going to need to get another goalie in.
‘Kelleher has shown that in big moments in those cup wins for Liverpool, in big matches. He actually has a very understate way of performing as a goalkeeper.
