“No league anymore because of him”, “GET HIM OUT NOW!” – Fans blame 23-year-old Chelsea star after Blues drop points in Crystal Palace draw
Following Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League tie with Crystal Palace, Chelsea supporters have criticized Nicolas Jackson’s performance. Jackson did not contribute significantly to the game at Selhurst Park and was a mediocre offensive player.
After a feed from Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer gave the Blues the lead in the fourteenth minute. But despite having a second goal that would have ensured safety, the Blues were unable to end the match. Eberechi Eze passed the ball to Jean-Philippe Mateta, who equalized for Palace in the 82nd minute. The Blues made a last-ditch effort to score, but the game finished 1-1.
In 81 minutes on the pitch, Jackson had a passing accuracy of 75% (9/12). He registered three shots off-target and lost possession of the ball 11 times (via Sofascore).
In the game’s aftermath, fans expressed their disappointment with Jackson’s performance on X, with one tweeting:
“Nicolas Jackson is the one who cost us the 3 points today, he had a lot of chances to score a goal and he couldn’t even shoot on goal, terrible performance and it looks like he went back to factory settings…”
“Brother we cannot go anywhere with Nicolas Jackson man, transfer window is open get a serious striker,” another added.
“Nicolas Jackson shouldnt be anywhere the bench for the next few games. Hes not only poor but dumb! He puts us in precarious situations every game with his misses , this is a game that we should have killed in the first half.,” a fan opined.
“Someone should tell Enzo Maresca that it’s ok to substitute Nicolas Jackson 😮💨,” another fan opined.
“Nicolas Jackson is such a disgusting player! This idiot is making my life a living hell! He keeps on missing chances then boom teams score against Chelsea and I go back to a laughing stock again! GET HIM OUT NOW!,” another vented.
“I think Obi Mikel is actually right. Nicolas Jackson can’t lead the line for us. Should we sign an elite striker or stick with him?👇,” another asked.
“Nicolas Jackson shoots wide again. He could’ve had three today.,” a fan said.
“Nicolas Jackson has missed 3/4 sitters all of target but Chelsea fans will blame Enzo Maresca.,” another chimed in.
“Nicolas Jackson is a finished striker and I’m not even joking.,” a disappointed supporter opined.
“Nicolas Jackson is a good Center Forward but not to the standard Chelsea needs. He can’t win us the league with how he misses the easiest of chances,” wrote another.
