“He will end you Pochettino”, “Imagine his poor display” – Fans tears Chelsea star apart after making Chelsea lost to Nottingham Forest
Chelsea Fans blasted Nicolas Jackson on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the 22-year-old missed an open goal as Chelsea succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest today (September 2).
The Blues had made ad a poor start to their 2023-24 Premier League campaign, drawing 1-1 against Liverpool before losing 3-1 to West Ham United the following week. They were looking to build off their momentum against Nottingham Forest at home today after beating Luton Town 3-1 last week.
Chelsea dominated possession in the first half but were unable to break the deadlock with Forest showing great resilience, defending with a low block. Steve Cooper’s men made a bright start to the second half when Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher collided in the middle of the park in the 48th minute.
Taiwo Awoniyi took advantage of this and coolly released Anthony Elanga. The latter slotted the ball past a helpless Robert Sanchez to give Forest a vital 1-0 lead.Chelsea had a golden chance to level the scores in the 83rd minute. Raheem Sterling made a great run and squared the ball to Nicolas Jackson, only for the latter to prod the ball over the crossbar despite having an open goal in front of him.
Nottingham Forest defended well to secure important three points. This was a massive victory for them after their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
Fans blasted Jackson on X for his performance today. The Senegal international missed two big chances and none of his shots were on target.
Moreover, he was dispossessed thrice and was unable to muster any accurate crosses during his 90 minutes on the pitch.Some of their reactions can be viewed below:
