“We can’t rely on him” “He’s so useless to the team now” – Chelsea fans slams Chelsea star despite 2-1 win over West Ham
Chelsea’s display in the first half against West Ham was lacking, as the Blues could not take advantage of their few attacking chances. Nicolas Jackson was a notable source of frustration for supporters, with his frequent slips inciting anger online.
The Senegalese forward seemed to have difficulty maintaining his footing during the match, as he fell several times and did not pose much of an offensive threat. His continual slipping led to worries about a possible injury, as he was observed gripping his hamstring after one tumble.
Frustrated Chelsea supporters took to X (Twitter) to vent their anger:
@BlueBoy_: “We can’t rely on him, He’s so useless to the team now”
@J24_CFC: “Jackson? He keeps falling over?”
@SHeyilaSnr: “Jackson falling like a log, it’s going to be a very long night.”
@cfchuga: “Get Jackson off. I don’t like how he keeps falling.”
@kk_kels: “I think Jackson needs to change his boots.”
@_theteejay: “Get this useless Jackson out of the pitch.”
@harrisOncrane: “Jackson plays in sliders, fucker falls over at least 5 times a half.”
With Chelsea struggling to break down West Ham’s defence, fans will be hoping for a more assured display from Jackson in future games, as he seems to have slowed down over the last two months.
