Filip Jorgensen booed by Chesea fans during defeat to Legia Warsaw

One position which did see a change as expected was the goalkeeper role. Filip Jorgensen came into the side to replace Robert Sanchez, with both desperate for any sort of form at this stage of the season.

Things got off to the worst possible start though when the Dane gave away an early penalty, and he also looked nervy with shots coming at him, as well as with the ball at his feet.

Blues fans inside of Stamford Bridge showed their frustration at their goalkeeper multiple times throughout the game, with Sky Sports reporting he was on the end of booing from his own fans.

They said: “More boos as Jorgensen mucks around with it under pressure before just about squeezing the ball through to Tosin.”

Chelsea’s goalkeeper future

With the performances of both Jorgensen and Sanchez clearly not up to scratch so far this season, there has been plenty of talk over who will be in goal for next season.

The most frustrating thing for Chelsea fans will be that their best shot stopper this season is currently playing for another side, with Djordje Petrovic starring for Strasbourg.

It has been reported there will be a full review of goalkeepers at Chelsea at the end of the campaign, with those out at other clubs also being included in that.

This also involves youngster Mike Penders, who the club have high hopes for in the future.
