HOW NICHOLAS JACKSON ANSWERED ALL CHELSEA'S PROBLEMS IN 90 MINUTES😱

Man City 1-0 Chelsea Emirates FA Cup Semi Final Key moments saw Nicholas Jackson miss three HUGE chances for Chelsea FC. From the FA Cups Semi final highlights of Man City 1-0 Chelsea, Chelsea's striker problems have a clear solution in my opinion. In this video, I identify why Nicholas Jackson's performance vs Man City showed the EXACT striker Chelsea need to try and sign this summer transfer window!

[@KingDaCon]

Yes Jackson did us a favor. A lot of us including myself were beginning to talk ourselves into Jackson being our #1 striker going forward. Yesterday he made it clear he is not the guy.

[@chunk4520]

This!!

[@alikingaku4903]

He’s better as a winger

[@du5707]

Exactly

[@user-xw3vi4nk2y]

It was very naive to think that. Jackson should be our LW and Mudryk should be Strasbourg LW.

[@stephenroberts6056]

He didn’t “answer” the problems. He highlighted them !

[@nicolemonkeviciene791]

[@joek5078]

He answered their biggest question about the squad

[@suiiiiiiiiiiii8230]

This game was a message to all of those fans who said Chelsea don’t need a new striker in the summer cause Jackson is developing “well” . Yes he has developed but he is still not anywhere near the levels we should have at Chelsea. Yes he’s improved his hold up play and his runs but what’s the point if in the end he can’t put anything in the back of the net. We don’t need any more chance creators . We have palmer, mudryk , madueke , enjo, Reece, nkunku, gusto, Connor , carney for that . We need someone lethal who can put the ball in the net. We need someone like osimhen . I bet if he was up front there for us , we would’ve easily won.

[@biniz5919]

You're funny you mentioned the players not serving the team.

[@callumclancy3512]

No we do not need osimhen, not convincing at all and has only had one 20+ goals season. Toney is the only option out there I can see working for us, if we can’t get him I think we should bring lukaku back for now and wait until the right striker is available instead of wasting more money on a useless player

[@deancartwright6535]

I'm so glad to see the shift In mentality George. People fail to realise the more you add the fuel of negativity to the fire, the worse the situation gets. The signs are really there. I genuinely believe with God's grace we will get it right. We just need patience. Let's stay positive

[@isaacadams9350]

we were playing well and needed a striker so we signed LUKAKU and everything went sideways...here we are again

[@user-ph7fl4mc7e]

Exactly what I just said in some comments here,I think Jackson's brilliance in build up play makes it easy for him to be in that position, I don't know if any striker we bring in can do same thing, its not standing in the box and waiting for the ball.

[@dtrueblue6322]

[@johnlokombe2382]

Poch didn't get everything right, 1. Changed a winning 6-0 line up, 2. Chelsea played without a left winger and made it easy for City to double up on Madueke 3. No creativity in the middle of the park when you play Enzo and Caicedo, both player are holding midfielder, they are slow, they just tackle and pass the ball, no dribble, no opening up the defence no running quickly with the ball, 4.Disasi is not 1 v 1 specialist he shouldn't put him on the right when all city's attack was coming from the right.

[@hot5pocket2.05]

Gallagher lw shut city’s attacks down tht side down all game bro. Minute he went to the right we get scored on

[@attaahselase1003]

we can complain about the change in lineup if that was truly our downfall , but no, that wasn't. we had the best of chances and we failed to make use of them. Poch can be spared

[@litwinski6243]

I don't think we should be signing Gyorkes. He's in the exact same position that Jackson was last season. And look at Jackson now. If anything Gyorkes is even more of a gamble since he plays in a worse league than Jackson did. We need a guarantee and Gyorkes isn't that. I think Lewandowski is a perfect addition. He's a guarantee of goals and he can help mentor Jackson into a world class striker. WE HAVE THE YOUTH, WE JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE EXPERIENCE!!!

[@chiefindoobies5893]

Your on drugs mate gyokerres is on a different planet from Jackson he can score with either foot. Is good in the air also 10 of his goals have come from outside the box Jackson is a donkey and Benson why the fuck are you sticking up for him Jackson has missed about not 3 but 33 he is useless if I was picking the team for Tuesday I would be playing Washington from the start by the way you got the Swedish striker bit right if it was my choice and my money he would be the first pick for next season

[@kakemboivan-hr8wc]

Instead of gyokares Chelsea should go for Solanke. He has proved that in England to flight and is competing for the golden boot this season yet he knows Cobham very well.

[@attaahselase1003]

[@mikeyc.6022]

Jackson is better as a second striker alongside the main striker or winger

Agreed. Lets make jackson a winger. He can be our Malouda hopefully, but he aint a drogba nor costa

[@patriciamchunu4936]

• Jackson is more Anelka & Demba Ba than he is Drogba, Hasselbaink or Costa. • Gyokeres is the wrong "Victor" for us... l just can't overlook how he fared before this season... • We need Osimhen. Use Lukaku as exchange to knock down the price.

[@Handsomecollino]

Though Chilwell is not a winger but Poch replacing Cucurella with Chilwell and Madueke with Mudryk when he could've kept Cucurella, bringing in Chilwell or Sterling on that left wing to support Cucurella with Fernandez making way. Mudryk should've started then replaced if not living up to expectation... My thoughts though

[@spoots1234]

Jackson doesn't qualify as a professional footballer most of the time. It's not the misses that got me, it was when he rounded the keeper and ruined the cutback. Sometimes you miss chances. There's no excuse to miss simple passes.

[@mpblolly]

Agreed

[@_Seru_]

And then he's also immature and unprofessional. I don't see any future for him at this club.

[@elliottrudd4855]

Thank you, I know now plenty of people have made videos analysing his game and have began to talk about him as he should be but my lord what a striker Gyökeres is. If you actually watch him play in every phase of the game there is very very few strikers as complete in world football atm. Strong, powerful, quick, both footed, can create chances from nothing score from distance up close and in the air, his movement is elite and for a big man his close control and dribbling is fantastic, will become a world beater anywhere he goes so Chelsea have to be the ones who snap him up, there’s not another striker in the world I would take over him (bar Kane but he’s obviously much older and would never happen)

[@romanlaucher3495]

I don't under why Poch doesn't use Deivid Washington, at least give him a chance to even give Jackson some competition. Poch is still at fault, don't vindicate him especially when he played Gallagher on the LW.

[@simbarashechitapi4687]

Firstly we already know Jackson's strengths and weaknesses. He needs to play with a finisher upfront like Cole Palmer, or Carney. He is good at driving forward but is a bad finisher. Often he would drive the ball upfront with no help. Secondly our subs came in too late. Thirdly Gallagher, Enzo and Caicedo are almost the same player, one of them has to be a sub while a stylish fast forward like Mudryk, Or Carney plays more minutes. When you create chances but do not look like scoring it all points to the gaffer for me. Play to your team's strengths.....wrong tactics

Scoring is an instinct you either possess or you don't, Palmer has it, as did Lampard, neither of them strikers. Jackson just doesn't have it, end of.

[@Luke-mb1pd]

Jackson is a really good solid player and can be a real asset to us, but NOT as an out n out number 9. I also thought maybe he could turn into the number 9 we need, but yesterday highlighted why he can’t be YET, and we need a striker he can play along side like drogba did with Eidur and other attackers when he came in. I think nico will come good give him time!

[@danlerner5970]

Honestly not sure how I feel about a striker who’s playing his first season in a top flight league at the age of 25. I know he’s tearing it up in Portugal, but the Premier League is a big step up in competition. If Osimhen’s a no go, I think our top target should be Vlahovic… could’ve had him last season for what, €70M which is a little over £60M? And I’m not sure the gap between him and Osimhen is anywhere close to as big as their price tags suggest. He scored 17 goals in 21 games with Fiorentina before transferring to Juventus in January, and his production hasn’t been as high since then but it seems like he’s playing in a system that doesn’t give as consistent striker service, and being that it’s a 3-5-2 he’s also sharing the service with Chiesa. Yet this season he still has the 2nd most goals in Series A, which for the record is lower scoring than the Premier League and a big step up in competition, making his production this season that much more impressive

[@the_fallen_one3610]

Victor is the perfect striker not injury prone can finish is experienced, Boi also has a cool celebration

[@jackwickes6119]

Jackson showed everyone why we need a better striker. It’s Not like Jackson had an off game, all season he’s been missing huge chances and no enough is enough, push him wide or use him as a back up striker.

[@robcap1232]

Jackson would do well on loan in the premier league he was showing that he can be fast and strong on The counter attack but fails on delivery he has good positioning to he needs some confidence and practice 1vs with the keeper, i probably think he should start over mudrky on the left wing he use to play lw before he moved to Chelsea and he has the speed and hold up to make a impact 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@garikayiwamambo]

Jackson lacks composure and technique to score. Good in build up play though so give him another season maybe but buy another striker.

[@musokealexander1168]

Cfc played in a 4-3-3, a system city has overly relied on. City very well knew how to identify and take advantage of its loopholes and also manage the strength of the system. Neither Jackson nor Palmer alone could independently produce magic even with only the keeper to beat.

[@marka1814]

I wanted to get your thoughts on this. Since Jackson is not a proper #9, why don’t we give Mudryk the opportunity to be the highest attacker, so he can make pacey runs in behind? He played some of his best football as a #10 but if we slide Cole Palmer in behind Mudryk, Noni on the right, and Gallagher on the left, we can give Mudryk the ability to use his pace to beat CB’s.

Jackson cushion headers it into the keepers arms from 2 yards out. This lad ain't it. Can't keep going on with him up front.
