1 / 4

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has urged the Blues to replace goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, arguing that the Spaniard lacks the consistency needed for a title-chasing side. Speaking on his podcast, Mikel said Sanchez has made too many costly errors over the past three seasons. He insisted that Chelsea must address the position if they want to build a trophy-winning team. Mikel identified Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford as a possible replacement. His comments come amid reports of major Chelsea transfer activity under manager Xabi Alonso.

Do Chelsea supporters see Sanchez's errors as the main issue, or is the pressure on him bigger because the team is chasing titles?

Mikel's point is really about consistency: a title-chasing side cannot keep absorbing costly goalkeeper mistakes over a long season.

Replacing Sanchez may sound straightforward, but naming Trafford alone does not guarantee Chelsea will solve the consistency problem.

Chelsea should assess whether Trafford fits their needs, then make the goalkeeping decision based on sustained form rather than one debate.
