Enzo Maresca admits Robert Sanchez is 'far' from the level Chelsea need him to be - as he tells his under-fire No 1 to deal with fan criticism

On Monday evening in Chelsea’s dressing room, Robert Sanchez was a picture of zen, sitting cross-legged and reading the matchday programme in which he had contributed an interview as the television screen to his left counted down to kick-off with Wolves.

Nothing wrong with that, calmness being a good trait to have in a goalkeeper. Defenders will tell you it is much more desirable than someone contagiously showing their nerves before exiting the tunnel and entering the particle accelerator that is the Premier League.

It is a part of Sanchez’s personality, and why those who know Chelsea's 6ft 6in keeper are confident he will not get caught up in the chaos of the criticism coming his way.
