“I backed him” – Gary Cahill names Chelsea ace he’s starting to lose faith in after Everton loss Gary Cahill has admitted he’s started to change his mind about Robert Sanchez following Chelsea’s defeat to Everton. The Blues slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, as they put in another abject performance under Liam Rosenior. It’s now four defeats in a row in all competitions, and the Blues remain sixth in the table with just seven games remaining.

Gary Cahill starting to have doubts over Robert Sanchez Rosenior is coming under increased pressure following the defeat, but he once again wasn’t helped by the Chelsea backline. The Blues were all over the place defensively, with Wesley Fofana in particular having a poor game, and Chelsea have managed just three clean sheets since Liam Rosenior took over. Sanchez made a poor error for Everton’s second goal, and it appears his confidence has been dented after being dropped.

The Spaniard has had a good season on the whole, but there are still questions marks over him, and Cahill has admitted he’s starting to have doubts. “Sanchez? I backed him; I’ve been the one who backed him,” he told Sky Sports.

“I think he’s got personality; he can play out from the back, and at times he’s a great shot stopper. “I’m willing him to stop making these mistakes, and the mistakes are obviously costly at the moment. “He’ll be disappointed, he knows, you know he’s a professional goalkeeper.
