Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has not been able to hold back from speaking about Chelsea this season.

For example, Carragher recently discussed Chelsea’s goalkeeper situation, expressing his shock over their decision not to get involved in the Gianluigi Donnarumma conversation before the Italian’s move to Manchester City.

It is a topic that the retired defender has once again spoken about alongside former Manchester United shot-stopper Peter Schmeichel.

Chelsea headed into the new campaign with Robert Sanchez as their No.1, with Filip Jorgensen acting as the Spaniard’s deputy.

Jamie Carragher tells Chelsea they won’t win title with Robert Sanchez

Sanchez has made a disappointing start to the season, receiving a red card in Chelsea’s 2-1 loss to United earlier this month.

Even so, Schmeichel thinks Enzo Maresca‘s side can still win the Premier League title with the 27-year-old in goal.

Carragher, though, is in complete disagreement with the United icon. In response to the above, he said: “No chance, Peter. No chance.”

Chelsea players received an apology from Sanchez following his sending off at Old Trafford, but the Spain international really hurt his team that day.

He is not alone, though, as Trevoh Chalobah was also dismissed in Chelsea’s last top-flight outing against Brighton & Hove Albion, which cost the Club World Cup winners.

Mike Maignan could still end up replacing Robert Sanchez at Chelsea

Sanchez’s position as the team’s No.1 came under real threat over the summer, as Chelsea targeted AC Milan star Mike Maignan.

In the end, the Blues were not able to get a deal over the line, but Sanchez should not get too comfortable.

The Chelsea Chronicle’s transfer expert Graeme Bailey, speaking on Beyond The Back Four, thinks Chelsea are still working on recruiting Maignan.

Maignan’s contract expires next year, so the Blues may be able to land him for free. Between now and the end of the season, Sanchez cannot afford to make any more costly mistakes.
