Forget Palmer and Mudryk Pochettino reveals one player Chelsea fans to praise after 3-2 win over Newcastle
Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he’s happy with the performance of Nicolas Jackson, as Chelsea beat Newcastle 3-2 in a Premier League clash on Monday night.
Jackson led the line for the Blues, who successfully reduced the gap between them and Newcastle with a fine home performance.
The 22-year-old scored the opening goal of the game, but beyond that, he was also involved in attack on many occasions.
And when asked to give an assessment of the player’s performance, Pochettino told reporters after the game: “Yes, of course. Of course, we need to understand the player when they are young and arrive from out of England, they need to know first the Premier League.
“They also need to know their teammates to perform. But he is performing really well.
“The effort is always there, how he presses, the work-rate is massive. Of course, he has the quality. With more games, with experience, he is going to be more calm in front of the goal and he is going to be more clinical.
“We think he has the capacity but we need to keep believing that he can be the player, the striker, the offensive player that can score for Chelsea too many goals, a lot of goals.”
Nicolas Jackson has indeed been impressive of late; although he’s not there yet, but he’s improving. Mauricio Pochettino is right in his assessment of Nicolas Jackson.
