Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says Filip Jorgensen “just didn’t convince” in Chelsea’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Lincoln and Robert Sanchez “will stay the number one”.
Jorgensen had an opportunity to deputise for the suspended Sanchez on Tuesday evening but repeatedly struggled with aerial deliveries.
“He flapped at a lot of things,” Sutton told Radio 5 Live.
“A large part of football is having to take your opportunities when they come along.
“It was a big game for him, especially when you know what Lincoln are going to do – they’re going to be about long throws and set-plays into the box. He just didn’t convince. It wasn’t once – it was three, four, five times where he looked indecisive and that was the biggest things.
“You want a goalkeeper who is steady and makes good decisions, they don’t have to be remarkable and Superman. The way he was coming for crosses and not getting there – he was lucky where he mis-punched a ball in the first half. It was the same in the second half.
“In that respect it’s a nightmare for Enzo Maresca. The goalkeeping situation was an issue last season – Chelsea fans were not convinced by Sanchez. Maresca has stuck with him but there is a chance for the number two when he has made mistakes.
“Sanchez will stay the number one.”
