Former Chelsea midfielder, Andy Townsend, has advised new manager Xabi Alonso to replace goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in his starting XI when he arrives at Stamford Bridge.
Townsend believes Sanchez will let Alonso down in big moments when next season starts.
Alonso is taking charge of Chelsea in July after he was appointed as the club’s new manager on a four-year deal following the sacking of Liam Rosenior.
“I think Chelsea needs a goalkeeper,” Townsend told BetVictor.
“Robert Sanchez has produced one or two better performances recently, but I just feel he’s just one of those goalkeepers who will let you down in a big moment.
“He’s got a mistake in him, there’s a mistake never too far away.”
