[@davidpollock4060]

We just need to stop the hate on any of the players and the manager. This is Pochettino’s first season ,we have a preponderance of young non premier league experienced players and a decimated squad through injuries. We need to be patient because I can see improvements and in the carabao cup final we were the better side as we were in the semi final. Things are improving,players will get better and the injured players will return and with that the team as a whole will vastly improve.

[@Furykidxxx]

For sure, I kept saying this throughout the season, but a lot of people get their emotions take over them, even Yann wasn't immune to this. Cool heads and focus prevails, as you've mentioned, we have a whole bunch of 20-23 y.o. who never played PL and we suddenly want to be a top 4 side. Top 6 is still very well within the reach, Europa league should be a good start and experience for these lads. Get Poch a proper striker and we'll be cooking!

[@chrisdcrus5404]

I agree with what your saying, you make a few fair and valid points but personally I get a feeling that the players and manager are getting the backlash from the fans mainly because they are responsible to what happens when it comes to match time but other than that fans are unhappy with the Chelsea 😢ownership and recruitment but because that is something that is harder to change or rectify they are aiming all their frustrations in the wrong place. Understandably fans will look to take the easy option and blame the players and manager but it is not them in charge of the clubs structure and transparency when it come to important decisions regarding the club. These owners need to prove everyone wrong and change the recruitment model because the majority of fans I speak to are starting to believe that the owners are just here for profit and are going to ruin our club in football terms which should be the main purpose!

[@properchels101]

completely fucking agree

[@madwibble]

Just a ST would help immensely

[@neovarleydownes9109]

Chelsea have the LF/WB, they are out on loan. Personally I think they need World Class in a GK, CD that can command the area and take charge, now that Silva is leaving and most definitely a Striker and that Striker role they have been crying out for going on a few Seasons now. Although Chelsea had Costa, who was really a pain in the butt, they have not had a decent Striker since Drogba. But you are right, they have far too many injury prone Players and Players they really do not need, that are just not good enough. My question is, they knew certain Players were injury prone before signing them (Chilwell, W, Fofana, Nkunku, to name but 3) so why sign them in the first place?! Of course the other problem Chelsea now have is, most of these Players are on VERY long term contracts and on really good money, so will they want to leave.

[@hnaku8748]

Let me surprise you. Both the manager and the players can be bad. It isn't mutually exclusive. Yesterday was more on the players, but let's not now say Pochettino is Pep level or has much higher potential only being a year younger.

@@ronsmaleconstructionltd5688 Although you are right, he has been a Striker all Season and my point is, he is not learning and that is his fault. Even if you did not know he was a Winger, you can certainly see that he is one and he has certainly played enough games, as a Striker this Season, to be learning and to have been taught something as to how a Striker finishes, but there is no improvement on that score since he first started there in September last year. I started off as a left back/wingback, but we desperately needed a fast reliable CD, that could command the area,, so I was taught how to become one and I became a very good one within a Season, even played there for my Country, but no point in trying to convert a Winger into a Striker, if he cannot learn. Kind of reminds me of Einstein's definition on "insanity"...."Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Sadly that is Jackson. Chelsea have tried all sorts there, Sterling, Mudryk, Palmer, Nkunku (what a waste of money he is turning into....), I am waiting for them to give Silva a crack there lol. Personally I think, instead of spending money on those 5,000 Midfielders they now have and on those injury prone Players, they knew were injury prone to start with, they should have taken half of the money and purchased a \world Class Striker instead. I would love to see Jackson in the position he was signed for, I think he could be a very exciting watch, but a Striker he is not and as much as Jackson is not learning, Pochettino should be learning that himself. Why not put Washington there? After all, now what have Chelsea got to lose and it will give him valuable experience. Liverpool did that..... They had this fine young talent and no one really to play as a Striker, at the time, one of the Liverpool Coaches went up to the then Manager Roy Evans and said: "Why not play the young lad there, we have nothing to lose" So the next game they tried him and he was sensational, scoring on his debut against Wimbledon, at 17 years old. That Player was Michael Owen :0) Who knows, that could be Washington, we live in hope lol

[@neovarleydownes9109]

@@revlmao7525 I wouldn't go that far lol. Havertz is lazy and cannot be bothered half the time, Jackson is not that. Jackson's problem is, as a Striker, he is just not learning.

Because most the comments I saw were upset ones just like when we sold Tomori

[@msgarion]

@@DyNamiC_PulsE You think you are slick. Here’s a break down of all your lies. 1. Abraham finished his 19/20 season as a 22 years old. In the following season, he was 23 by October. 2. Abraham was top scorer with 18 goals in all competitions. If that isn’t leading, I don’t know what is. 3. You tried to give Jackson 13 goals when you and I know that we are focusing on league goals which puts Jackson at 10. That said, Abraham scored 15 goals in 2221 minutes and 25 starts. Jackson scored 10 in 2176 minutes and 24 starts. If it was not for the fluke, hat trick against 9-man Spurs, he would be at 7. So please explain how Jackson has more goals in less games. 4. And you like to bring up Abraham scoring 6 goals. He did that in 1034 mins with an xG of 5.89, which means he had good conversion. And funny enough, he ended that season with 12 goals, making him Chelsea’s top scorer 2 years in a row. I imagine if Tuchel actually played him, he would have scored 20+

[@celery4564]

Jackson is not good enough to be our main striker, he is at best a sub for a more proven number 9. He fight's his own players to take a penalty when we are 4-0 up but doesn't have it in him to take a shot after he's rounded the keeper and there's an open goal. That's not good enough in both instances. Please stop referring to him as a kid, he is 22 years old. That's a fully grown man.

*I appreciate this different perspective on Jackson and other aspects regarding Chelsea. Most of our fans are knee jerk and reactionary in nature. Even some KZbinrs who I am like are going crazy with their reactions too which is disappointing and I may unsubscribe to some of them. My take on it is Jackson plays on the wings where he has had his best games for us. Poch should do that in his line ups. We can try a kid in the academy or one of the under 21s. Maybe even play without a striker or even bring back Lukaku. As for Poch, his subs yesterday were far too late. Back to our strikers, we need to buy two proven ones in summer*

[@TopherX4]

I also posted this on your instagram, Jackson wasn’t bought as a finished product and his development has been fantastic if you ask me.... 6 years ago he was playing bare foot in Senegal, 2.5 years ago he made his senior top flight debut for Villarreal, 1 year ago he was still a winger. Compare his footballing education to the coaching, facilities and advantages the average striker in an EPL or elite academies benefit from from the age of 7 or 8 years old... He's actually been brilliant. And still nowhere near his peak.

I don’t question his physical ability but I do not see the instinct that really good strikers have. I hesitate to call out any individual player but a strikers main responsibility is to score. If stretching the defense is the goal sign a track and field runner. Jackson as the number two striker I have no problem with.

I think Jackson should be the 1st choice LW. He always looks solid when he’s running on that side. We definitely need a top quality striker that’s for sure, we can’t be wasting chances like that against top opposition.

[@pointeddown]

Jackson isn’t a striker (yet). He’s a converted winger and still plays like it. Still dribbles in the box is always looking for the assist. I think it’s quite unrealistic to except to think the team as constructed from the top to bottom, the office to the pitch have been rebuilt. I mean even Stamford Bridge is getting rebuilt (literally).

[@Bartizzle739]

The hate against Jackson is over the top for sure. He played really well, just naive when through in goal. That will improve in time. Wouldn’t be totally against lukaku coming back but he’d have to literally beg forgiveness and leave it out on thr pitch every match. I think poch needs to be given the benefit of doubt tbh. He’s not the one missing chances or making poor decisions on the pitch. Played well enough to win that match and played well against the bigger teams mostly. I don’t see any point in getting rid. Things starting to click on the pitch I think.

The reality of the situation is that the majority of people are ignorant they don’t understand many things don’t put them into context. Eto in his 3rd season of professional football could not score double digits in the prem

[@triggerfinger7831]

I agree with you Yan. This is a transition season for Chelsea and there are lots of imbalance and inconsistency within the clubs. I'd say give Poch another year. I also at times felt very angry towards him but it's only right for us to see how he handle Chelsea next season with much improve of knowledge of the club and the players. If you guys really compare Klopp and Pep first season at their respective clubs, they don't dominated England straight away. It took them a couple of seasons to hit the ground running. Ideally I don't want to see Poch for more than 3 seasons, because I don't think he had what it takes to win trophies but if he did win something after this (like Sarri did for us in 2018) then I might my change my mind.

[@vincentthomas5199]

No manager could have done better than Pochettino this year - trying to sort out the problems caused but the owners. He deserves another season. Jackson’s finishing was poor but would we have had as many chances without him playing so well up top? Great link up, lay offs and runs if you ask me. Granted he’s not good enough now to be first striker, but I would back him to become a great player given time and coaching.

[@jerryhernandez2759]

People forget its only his real first season. He will produce big in the future

[@vijay6404]

I think there's definitely progress and Poch IS the man. There's no shame in losing to City or Liverpool in the cups, and we are better in the league too. I personally don't think we need to sign many players, if anyone , as how will our current crop of raw , but very good players become better? We've very good players and I think we'll only get better with Poch. A lot of fans forget we have a lot of 1st team players that have been unavailable ALL season. James, Fofana, Lavia, Nkunku, Carney. That's not including the players that have been injured on and off all season. People need to give the lads and Poch a break.

[@Rutsy378]

Refreshingly positive in a bad moment for cfc I do agree with your Jackson opinion just hurts to see those chances not taken in a loss that could of been a very different story if taken

Jackson doesnt become a bad player after one disastrous game in front of goal. Hes not a starting #9, this will be addressed post season, may as well stick with him with a few games left, to start and give the younger back up Devid Washington some minutes.

Nico’s performance annoyed me for sure but the hate he gets is absolutely ridiculous. He must stay at Chelsea and he will 100% improve. He missed those chances because of poor finishing lack of experience. Those are easy to sort out. I’m not worried. He has the basics down

[@jevonflynn9405]

Jackson's finishing can be very frustrating at the best of times, I do agree tho that he has some good attributes. It's concerning that his finishing and decision making needs to develop significantly. I blame the club for not signing another first team striker in the summer, Broja was also let go in January with no replacement brought in. Jackson could certainly be a great option while also competing with a quality striker.

[@coryf6460]

I think the criticism of Jackson has been too harsh. yeah he has missed a lot. I told us the entire team and he's looking more and more settled

[@TheKevinRH]

I think the levelheaded approach is correct. We were told this was going to be a project and yet nobody’s letting it develop. In the true sense of a project, Poch is making progress. Our preseason top two players have been out effectively all year in James and Nkunku. With those guys fit all year, we are likely 5 or 6 in the league and have a cup.

[@ntokozomthunzi1572]

That article you shown on the screen talking about Jackson it forgot to state how useless Jackson was MORATA 2.0..LUKAKU would have barried 2 chances..

[@LiamS86]

When was the last time you saw a striker run that city defence ragged like that, even Walker. Yes his finishing was bad but everything else was amazing.

[@omiahmed2520]

Honestly you could tell by his expressions that he was nervous at the start of the match. And you know once he passed the open goal and lost the ball, he just had that kinda day.

[@krackerrsss]

Just because people are pointing out Jackson's awful finishing that has a direct correlation between us not gojng through doesnt mean people are pretending that Jackson should be the second coming of jesus. Neither does the fact that he has 10 goals in the season mean its OK that hes missed these sitters. Hes supposed to be a professional footballer. Granted a few misses here and there but lets not forget that we are one of the worst teams when it comes to converting chances so no, not getting on these players backs when they miss sitter is not ok, unless our standards have dropped to the point that were ok to be mid table for ever.

[@NolanCarnduff12_]

Jackson has done a great job his first season at Chelsea. This club is just full of plastic fans, real ones know he’s good and has something special. You gotta remember, the second a player puts pen to paper on a contract for Chelsea, there’s instant pressure of doing well. It comes with the badge due to the history of this club… we’ll be back, blues! Keep the faith and trust the process 💙

[@patriciamchunu4936]

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

[@APEXGuerilla]

But you can overlook Osimhen's disappearing act during AFCON hmm? Biased much.

[@patriciamchunu4936]

[@abrahaminikori4289]

I have honestly thought about that....Leave Poch for another year. In that one year, bring back Romelu and let Jackson and Fofana learn under him for the remaining one year of his contract. With Nkuku fit and back, we will be good. That way we balance our books. This will do us well....

[@BillCanning]

I 100% vote to keep Poch. We are definitely better than last year and the players deserve to have a break from the chaos that they’ve been through recently.

[@jkif98]

For sure Nicolas Jackson's finishing and composure in front of goal can be very annoying at times but I think given the circumstances he has had a decent first season. He has shown the mentality to keep going - much bigger names have wilted under the pressure upfront and whilst Jackson has lacked the composure he's shown the spirit to keep making the runs and continuing to link the play well. Someone able to do that at such a big club with big media interest especially given Chelsea's struggles and a relative lack of fan support - compare Chelsea fans and Jackson to say Liverpool fans and Nunez last season - I think such a character should be persisted with, he's probably not going to be an elite finisher any time soon but he doesn't need to be to be very valuable he just needs to be a decent finisher - someone like Ollie Watkins starting from a higher base but is definitely seen as a better finisher now than he was 12-18 months ago. Hopefully we can end the season with a decent run and go into next season with at least some positivity with players starting from 0 again (apart from Palmer - please keep this form up!) rather than with the negativity that has surrounded parts of this season.

[@babyblu8900]

Not just his finishing - bad decision, can't dribble, falls of his two feet - go on loan or get rid. We can't afford yet another season out of Europe or we will be forced to sell.

[@cue9423]

I was more of a Poch out guy but reflecting from how I've seen Chelsea play this season,I see a lot of goals compared to last season and the players are getting their game on.so I kind of agree with the board on keeping Poch for now even though most won't agree with this.and Lukaku and Ziyech are the experience we need upfront and they are still Chelsea players,it can help us avoid spending in this coming window and saving us from FFP

[@JTCFC1]

Yan the thing that doesn’t sit well with me about this analysis is we are not saying he cost too much like Mudryk did. We are saying he is not fit for the job. He needs to do all this AND finish. He can create as many turn overs as this but if he doesn’t score we lose. We need to have a goal scorer up front. If Poch was given a good striker and potentially a better attacker to fill the Mudryk/Noni/Sterling gap we would be lethal

[@SirEEf13]

I hear you but Jackson has been really efficient in the past. That's why he was on our radar in the first place. He some ridiculous shot to goal conversion in Laliga at some point. Maybe that was just a purple patch but he's still young, leading me to think that if he's done it once, he can do it again. Still needs some help. We can't have him run the show at ST alone. The LEAST we can do is keep DD Fofana around for next season.

[@christianjohn9359]

Chelsea should let Nkunku lead the line next summer and go for Matheus Tel as a back up. Loan Madueke to palace with the option to buy and target Olise.

@@SirEEf13Listen though, this dude was so eager to take the responsibility for a penalty when we’re 4-0 up, so eager he was willing to embarrass our club but he can’t shoulder the responsibility of his role in this squad as a striker? Come on… He isn’t good enough and he’s proven with his dissent and attitude on the pitch his behaviour and temperament ain’t either. It’s nothing personal but maybe a loan spell would do him some good.

[@SirEEf13]

@@PhiccLIVE yeah the thing with the pen was bad but the responsibility of taking a pen when 4-0 up isn't comparable to having to score a weaker chance against City when it's 0-0. Also just because he misses doesn't mean he doesn't want that responsibility. I agree that he's not been able to shoulder it this season but he can still very much want it. I'm sure he'd be asking Poch for starts if he'd be our No.2. And he's not been entirely unable to provide either. I think making him our starting ST for the season, without giving him any help at that is a bit too much to ask of him. Not his fault but despite that he still did really well.

[@esinach]

Keep Poch till end of his contract see how we've progressed. Is the sane choice. No other managers available. Palmer likes playing for him. Hopefully we get some luck in the injury department next season. Get a couple of players end of the season to compliment Palmer also. A striker, a defender. Nkunku is in team training now, so I hope Nkunku and Palmer can get working on some chemistry on the pitch, with the remaining matches. That will be key for the future I reckon. Hopefully people can see that the players we have right now are not ready like Jackson and Noni. Noni yesterday showed utter greediness every time he was on the ball. If he had played Palmer in a few times early we might have scored or at least created something. Palmer was on point with every through ball yesterday.

Jackson’s Statistics will never fool me, especially when i know against who/what and how those goals were scored. I don’t care if Jackson improving in other aspects he need to improve in finishing, how many years we will give him for that ? We are Chelsea Fc we can’t settle for mid table because we have a striker who needs time to learn and improve the basics. I will take a only good in the box striker who knows how to finish a chance like Giroud over a striker who only knows how to run and link up all day!!
