Robert Sanchez has had many critics since his move from Brighton in 2023.
The Chelsea number one arrived at Stamford Bridge two-and-a-half years ago. He was tipped for great things, but has really struggled to cement himself as one of the Premier League's best between the sticks.
A series of lacklustre performances have seen the 28-year-old heavily criticised with fans, and pundits alike, suggesting he is the Blues' weakest link.
And while there are definitely questions hanging over the Spaniard's ability to command Chelsea's back line, very little can be said about his influence at the other end of the pitch.
Robert Sanchez is the Premier League's most creative goalkeeper
Chelsea have been one of the league's most attacking teams, scoring the fourth most goals (42) after 24 matches.
Liam Rosenior's men, led previously by Enzo Maresca, are averaging nearly two goals per game. Judging by the emergence of recent surprising stat, the side's creativity is often starting from the very back.
According to Sofascore, Sanchez has created more chances (5) than any other goalkeeper in England's top-flight.
The Cartagena-born shot-stopper has featured in all but one Premier League match so far this season, meaning he's creating, on average, 0.2 chances per appearance.
The Chelsea goalkeeper's attacking exploits see him outperforming Sunderland's Robin Roefs (4), Brentford's Caoimhim Kelleher (2), Arsenal's David Raya and Newcastle's Aaron Ramsdale (1).
Of the five chances Sanchez has created, one resulted in a goal, and a crucial goal it was.
Joao Pedro's 66 minute equaliser during Chelsea's 2-2 away draw to Newcastle in December came via Sanchez, who lumped the ball toward Pedro deep inside the Magpies half.
Expect more of the same under Liam Rosenior
Even though fans will be concerned Sanchez's attacking influence suggest a route one approach, Rosenior will be wanting it to continue.
The 41-year-old manager has placed huge emphasis on his Chelsea side playing quick and direct action packed football.
If Sanchez has the opportunity to release the ball to any of the Blues' pacey forwards, expect Rosenior to be calling for him to do so on the touchline.
While it may be harsh to single Sanchez out, Chelsea's weakest area is undoubtedly their back line, and they are unlikely to address it until the summer. Rosenior will know that attack is the side's best form of defence.
So, with that being said, don't be surprised if Sanchez continues to get the attack away as early as possible, and who knows, the Spaniard may even end up with another assist to his name come the end of the season.
