Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Scholes, has expressed his concerns about Chelsea's goalkeeping situation. As the Blues prepare to face Brighton in the Premier League this Saturday, Scholes has identified two areas that he believes are the team's biggest weak links.
Despite Chelsea's recent run of three consecutive wins without conceding a goal, Scholes believes that there are still areas that need improvement. He points to their goalkeeper and centre-forward positions as areas of concern.
Chelsea's recent victories include a 1-0 win against AFC Bournemouth and a 3-0 win against West Ham. They also secured a spot in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with an impressive 5-0 win over Barrow AFC. However, Scholes believes that these results have only temporarily calmed the situation.
In an interview with The Overlap, Scholes expressed his worries about Chelsea's goalkeeper and centre-forward. He believes that despite the team's talented squad, there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
Chelsea's current No.1 goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, has helped the team keep two clean sheets in the Premier League. However, Scholes suggests that there may be some doubts about his abilities as he was rested for the Carabao Cup match against Barrow.
As for the centre-forward position, Chelsea has a dilemma due to the impressive form of both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. Maresca, the Chelsea head coach, has described it as a "nice problem" to have two strikers in such great form. However, he also doubts whether they can play together due to defensive concerns.
Maresca praised both Jackson and Nkunku for not only their goal-scoring abilities but also their hard work and sacrifice for the team. However, he acknowledged that there may be difficulties in maintaining a defensive balance if they were to play together.
Despite these concerns, Chelsea fans can still look forward to the team's upcoming matches with confidence. With a talented squad and a strong recent record, the Blues are on track to continue their success. However, Scholes' words serve as a reminder that there is always room for improvement and that the team should remain vigilant in addressing any potential weaknesses.
