Former Premier League players Micah Richards, Peter Schmeichel, and Jamie Carragher have all expressed disagreement over Chelsea’s prospects of winning the league this season. Carragher seemed to hold onto his former conviction that the Blues cannot win the championship with their present goalie when he spoke to CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage. Additionally, Schmeichel, a former Manchester United goalie, differed with Richards, a former Manchester City player, who supported his positionAs Enzo Maresca’s team struggles with their goalkeeper problems, Carragher had Schmeichel on the spot with a question regarding Chelsea’s chances of winning the Premier League. Chelsea was considered the dark horse in the title hunt at the start of the season. However, Maresca’s team is currently seven points behind leaders Liverpool after winning just two of their first six league games and earning just one point from their past two contestsCarragher thinks that unless Chelsea signs a replacement for current No. 1 Robert Sanchez, they won’t win any titles. “Peter, you famously signed for Manchester United and were a big difference to them going on to win the Premier League,” Carragher said to Schmeichel while they were doing their punditry duties at Stamford Bridge. Do you believe Robert Sanchez in goal will help Chelsea win the league? Schmeichel paused for a moment before answering, “Well, yes, and better defenders.” However, Carragher cut right in, exclaiming, “No chance, Peter, no chance!” “You put him on the spot there, didn’t you?” Richards then said to Carragher. He didn’t say it firmly, did he?
