Sanchez, who transferred to Chelsea from Brighton in 2023, was on loan at Forest Green during the 2018-19 season in the fourth tier of English football. ..Continue Reading
That period was not memorable for Sanchez, as he made several errors in his 17 appearances, leading Forest Green to post a video on TikTok showcasing his blunders after he moved to Stamford Bridge.
The clip has resurfaced in 2025 amid reports that Maresca is contemplating dropping Sanchez from the starting lineup due to recent mistakes.
Filip Jorgensen is poised to step in, and Chelsea is also reportedly considering a move for Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
Some pundits, including Jamie Carragher, have suggested that Chelsea won’t reach the next level without a better goalkeeper.
As the pressure mounts, the video of Sanchez’s errors at Forest Green has been reposted by The Redmen TV on X, an account focused on Liverpool.
The reposted video has garnered over 1.4 million views as it took a jab at Sanchez in the caption.
‘Chelsea have made a million signings and they’ve ended up [with] Robert Sanchez in goal who was so bad on loan at Forest Green in 2018/19 that the official account put out a fail compilation on TikTok,’ they posted on X.
Responding to the clip, one Chelsea fan, @ZolaOsman92, said: ‘This is insane. I’m actually shocked. This guy is making a living by doing this?’
He then tagged Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly before saying: ‘Worst recruitment in our clubs history. Of all goalkeepers, you’ve decided, he’s good enough? Embarrassing.’
Chelsea fan @keloforifynn posted ‘this is so shameful’ before tagging the club as well as Blues co-sporting director Paul Winstanley.
Sanchez has played 42 matches for Chelsea to date, keeping nine clean sheets for the west Londoners.
