Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior dropped first choice keeper Rob Sanchez against Aston Villa and this decision has sparked a debate among the fanbase.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has insisted that he has no fixed number one goalkeeper, after dropping Robert Sanchez from the starting lineup in midweek.

The English manager brought in Denmark’s Filip Jorgensen for the 4-1 victory at Aston Villa, and Rosenior explained his goalkeeping policy on Friday.

Rosenior said he looks at the goalkeeper position differently for each game, wanting to create competition in every area of the pitch. “I want there to be competition in every area of the pitch,” he said. “I know traditionally if there’s a change of goalkeeper it’s like ‘He’s now the number one’. It’s not the case, it’s not the case at all.”

The Chelsea manager played down potential fears over rhythm and confidence, saying that continuity is important but winning games is the priority. “You need continuity, but you need to win games of football,” he said.

Rosenior has been impressed with Sanchez’s reaction to being dropped, citing the example of wingers like Alejandro Garnacho who respond well to not being in the team. “I’ve spoken about (winger Alejandro) Garnacho and the way he’s responded to not being in the team,” he said.

The Chelsea boss is expecting a tough battle in Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Wrexham, who have enjoyed three successive promotions and are now in a Championship play-off spot. “When you see a club grow, develop, improve and come up through the leagues, it’s a great story,” he said.

Rosenior paid tribute to Wrexham counterpart Phil Parkinson, saying he has done an incredible job. “They’ve done a great job, I think Phil’s done an incredible job…We know it’s going to be a really difficult game,” he said.

The Chelsea manager will look to pick the best team possible for each game, and he doesn’t think he’s kept the same 11 in any game so far. “I will pick the team I think is best to win each game,” he said.
