Jamie Carragher urges Chelsea to replace two players after PSG defeat in Champions League

Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea will not win another Premier League or Champions League until they sign a new goalkeeper after their 5-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

In a thrilling game at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night, Chelsea pulled back PSG on two occasions before the Champions League holders scored three late goals to give Liam Rosenior’s side a mountain to climb in the return leg at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday.

Filip Jorgensen started in goal ahead of Robert Sanchez but the 23-year-old was at fault for PSG’s third as his pass was intercepted before Vitinha produced an excellent lob to put Luis Enrique’s side in front.

Speaking after Chelsea’s 5-2 defeat to PSG, Carragher praised Rosenior for his tactical approach but believes his side will be unable to challenge for silverware until a new goalkeeper is brought to Stamford Bridge.

‘It was a brilliant game, I think the best game certainly I’ve seen in the Champions League this season,’ Carragher told CBS Sports.

‘Chelsea didn’t deserve to lose 5-2 but they’ve only got themselves to blame for that.

‘I’ve been critical of Chelsea for a long time, but I’m being deadly serious, they can’t go any further until they sort the goalkeeping issue out. I’ve been saying this consistently.

‘The new ownership have come in and spent absolute billions and right now they’ve got some great players in the team and I think in these early stages Liam Rosenior has been brilliant, I thought Rosenior as a manager tonight, looking at how he set the team up, caused PSG real problems, they didn’t deserve to lose as in the way the game was set up and how they played.

‘But big mistakes cost them at centre-back and goalkeeper and that has been an issue and will continue to be an issue for any Chelsea manager going forward when they’re trying to win the Premier League and Champions League because they’re a million miles off it.

‘That’s why they lost tonight, not because they haven’t got great attacking players or the manager knows what he’s doing, tactically they were fantastic tonight. They were let down by a mistake from the goalkeeper at 2-2 and then the game just completely unravelled and now all of a sudden it looks like they’ve got no chance of going through.’
