Football pundit Jamie Carragher says Chelsea cannot go any further until they sort out the goalkeeper position.

It was another night of watching Chelsea calamity at the back last night as they were beaten 5-2 against PSG in the Champions League.

It was a tough one to take for Chelsea fans, because their team were very much in the game for the most part of it, but ended up losing simply down to errors at the back, mostly from goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

It was never going to be an easy game away at PSG, but Chelsea destroyed them in the summer to win the Club World Cup, and until around 75 minutes, they were well and truly in this game at 2-2.

Carragher believes Chelsea were playing well until the mistakes from Jorgensen, and believes they need to address the position urgently.

Carragher reacts

In comments picked up on X last night, Carragher said:

“They [Chelsea] can’t go any further until they sort the goalkeeping position out… Tactically they were fantastic tonight. They were let down by mistakes.”

I’m not sure you can say ‘fantastic’ as such, but yes, we were in the game for 75 minutes and went toe-to-toe with PSG once again. We could have scored more goals and certainly played well in chunks of the game.

Liam Rosenior refused to take the blame for using Jorgensen saying that “players make mistakes.” It’s true, but we could have told you who was going to make this mistake if you picked him today.

Rosenior has also noted his own failings in the game to some degree in terms of game management. He looked a little like a rabbit in the spotlight at times yesterday evening.
