“The guy should be sold this January,” “Disgraceful performance ” – Fans blast Chelsea star after disgusting performance in 2-1 Wolves defeat
Chelsea fans on X slammed Nicolas Jackson after he had a poor outing during their 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux on Sunday, December 24.
The Blues got off to a strong start against Wolves in their Premier League clash. Raheem Sterling made a darting run on the right flank before producing an inch-perfect cross towards Jackson, who was unmarked. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old was unable to control the ball, wasting a big chance in the 22nd minute.
Sterling had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the 33rd minute. The England international found himself in a one-on-one situation with Jose Sa. He had a chance to square the ball to Jackson or Cole Palmer but went for a goal instead, which was saved by Sa.Wolves started the second half well and were rewarded in the 51st minute. Mario Lemina headed home from a Pablo Sarabia corner to level the scores. Jackson had another big chance to score three minutes later but took too long to shoot, allowing the Wolves’ defense to clear out the danger.The Senegal international was then booked for the eighth time this season for dissent in the 62nd minute.Matt Doherty netted in the 93rd minute, taking advantage of Benoit Badiashile’s weak clearance. Christopher Nkunku scored his first goal for Chelsea three minutes later but the hosts held on to their lead to secure all three points.
Chelsea fans criticized Nicolas Jackson for his display. He was given a rating of just 5.9 (as per FotMob), landing zero shots on target. Moreover, he missed one big chance, completed zero of his three attempted dribbles, and lost seven duels.One fan posted:
“Nicolas Jackson scoring 7 PL goals has fooled everyone. He’s awful at virtually everything. Horrible touch. Can’t shoot. Gets bullied. Always offside. But a few tap-ins and I’m supposed to support him?”

@oluwapundittt: I don’t understand how we spend all that money and Nicolas Jackson is our striker. That dude won’t even start for crsystal palace, he’s not good enough
@micheal_ws18: Disgraceful performance ????!
@CorreaEra: IS THIS GUY EVEN A FOOTBALLER
@brodamike07: The performance of the team is up to the coach. There is no excuse for still starting Jackson.
He picks the players like someone doing trials and errors.
Nkunku goal was the only positive.
@wizsahad: Chelsea has two problems at the moment, Nicolas Jackson and Poch who keeps playing him. Such an awful and useless player.
@samiichels: Nicolas Jackson has more yellow cards (8) than PL goals (7).
