Last time I checked, he's a striker. It's his job to score. And he's not too popular among your fellow Chelsea fans tonight.....

Chelsea fans fume as Jackson fails to shoot in one-on-one chance

Fans have taken to social media to slam Nicholas Jackson after he missed a great chance to give Chelsea the lead against Manchester City.

Lol fuck Chelsea fans. They don’t know anything. I remember arguing with Chelsea fans about why it was a genuinely stupid fucking idea to sell KDB. They were all like ‘nah mate he’s naff, 16m is a great fee’. Take their word as gospel at your own peril :)

I actually think Jackson has been miscast. He’s a good left winger/second striker. He does so many things to a really good standard except the one thing a striker needs to be good at.

Jackson is actually pretty good. He can’t finish to save his life and sometimes he does rather dumbfounding things but generally he’s a good player who’s had a pretty good individual season.

The first two parts of that post simply can’t be true.

I don’t know what to make of Chelsea as they are clearly a talented squad and could be very good but they just look a team if individual glory hunters who are all for themselves .

It is if you’ve watched Chelsea regularly this season.

Kick and rush with decent technique but this is what separates City from the rest. It’s all in the mind and we currently have it in buckets. Teams like chavs just dont.

It took grit from every city player to get through that game.

How can a forward be pretty good and at the same time not able to finish. That’s his job.

Exactly. You can't be good at your job if you can't do your job.

He’s good at plenty of other things that contribute to the team. If you watched him regularly you’d know what I mean. As I said I think he’s been miscast. He’s a good player. Not a good striker.

Apart from Silva, there's pretty much no real top level experience running through that team. Lots of talented youngsters, to be sure, but if you don't have some serious old-timers in beside them, they will blow hot and cold.

Good fair assessment
