Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen shows he is not good enough with poor Lincoln performance | OneFootball

Chelsea claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lincoln City in the League Cup last night.

Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen was named in the starting XI, but failed to impress.

Signed for £20.7 million, Jorgensen repeatedly looked out of his depth, making several blunders against the League One side.

The fact that Robert Sanchez looks better than Jorgensen says a lot about Chelsea’s goalkeeping situation.

The blame lies with the sporting directors. The Europa Conference League winners were aware of the issue and attempted to sign Mike Maignan.

However, when the transfer did not materialise, they abandoned their pursuit.

Chelsea could have kept Djordje Petrovic or Mike Penders, but decided to gamble with Sanchez and Jorgensen, who are not good enough.

It is a gamble that is already backfiring. Chelsea may have survived Lincoln, but sterner tests will punish these lapses.

The Blues cannot realise their ambitions without stability in goal, and that department is a liability.

Until the club takes decisive action to secure a top-class shot-stopper, the Blues will remain vulnerable no matter how much talent they boast in other areas of the pitch.

What should have been a routine cup tie has laid bare the cracks that could derail their season.
