Even though he was part of a winning team that produced a very encouraging first Premier League display under Xabi Alonso, Robert Sanchez would be well-advised to stay away from social media for a while. Oh, and not catch up with the thoughts of Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher after Chelsea’s 3-2 win at Fulham.
“We have to be careful about criticising players or goalkeepers, but …,” and you can guess the rest from Neville. The Sky Sports pundits were scathing in their criticism of Sanchez and were supported by the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who posted their views online.
The pile-on was a little over the top. Sanchez was certainly at fault for Fulham’s first goal and would have hoped to do a little better ahead of their second. But the all-round defending for Gonzalo Garcia’s goal was shoddy, to say the least.
