Supporters of Chelsea have flooded to social media on Sunday evening, to make clear their concerns with a key member of the club’s summer recruitment drive.
Mauricio Pochettino’s troops, of course, are currently locked in action.
After being held to an opening day stalemate by Liverpool, Chelsea have made the trip to the London Stadium, eyeing a first-three point haul of the Premier League campaign at the expense of capital rivals West Ham United.
Safe to say, however, that late in proceedings in east London, such efforts are not going at all according to plan.
This comes with hosts West Ham currently in possession of a 2-1 advantage, owing to goals on the part of Nayef Aguerd and Michail Antonio.

Amid what has proven another frustrating evening for their side to date, in turn, it should come as little surprise to hear of the expectant Chelsea faithful being up in arms online.
None, though, has been more widely targeted than shot-stopper Robert Sanchez.
Amid suggestions that the summer arrival at Stamford Bridge is not of the standard required to be the club’s no.1, many of a Chelsea persuasion have even gone as far as to claim that the oft-criticised Kepa Arrizabalaga boasts far superior talents:
3 goals conceded from 4 shots on target for Sanchez

Even though he couldn’t have done much but he isn’t good enough to be our no 1

He ain’t good enough… he doesn’t go down quicker

Honest Question: has Robert Sanchez made any save since his signing? 👀

Kepa is better than Sanchez

Robert Sanchez has conceded every shot on target he’s faced since joining Chelsea

Sanchez is awful

It will be a disaster to have Sanchez as the main goalkeeper for the season.#WhuChe
