The defense is nothing to write home about to be frank with you boss, the 4 players behind can't hold the ball with confidence and the man who plays the left back and sometimes the midfield, I mean Marc Cucurella, he can't deliver a better cross and he doesn't know how to give a better pass but marking and tracking back I can recommend him. Then the other guys Fofana, Colwill and Disasi, they don't have the quality of a good defender. Gusto is even more better than those 4 guys put together so I can't use these guys to challenge team like Aston Villa or Arsenal.
We don't need to talk about getting a striker because with the help of Felix, Palmer, Nkunku, Sancho and Neto they can get goals on their own, Jackson just need to be there to complete them 11 players and be running around like a headless chicken, he's a waste to me unless he start playing from the wing.
Oh mate you have really spoken my mind, tho you sound very funny but still making sense altogether, I thought I am the only one concerned about the terrible performance of Nicolas Jackson upfront, because he is just busy running around and wasting most Chelsea clear cut chances without making any impactful contribution to the team nor improving on his blunders... Then as for the defence, apart from Cucurella and Fofana, the likes of Colwill and Desasi are just a bunch of average defenders, they can't even do their main job which is defending, let' hope James or Gusto returns back from injury to stabilize the defense a bit better than the way it is right now.
And when some one like Mikel Obi tells him (Jackson) the truth he'll rush back and reply a whole legend of Chelsea in an insultive manner just because he scored a goal against a dead team Wolves, is like he doesn't even feel anything when he performs pretty bad or doesn't he watch the clips and spot out all his mistakes? Jackson is not ready to be anything close to a World class striker, I'll call him a clown on the field of play.
About the defense I think you want to kill the team completely if you want someone like James who is getting fat and slow to recover and continue from where he left off with the team.
James is also a problem in the defense of Chelsea, the Fofana doesn't know his left from his right and ever since Thiago Silva left I don't see anybody to take up that mantle of leadership, not even James, Chilwell or even that man they call Enzo Fernandez or anybody that's wearing the arm ban, the team needs a better leader especially at the back 4 to control their movement and correct them whenever they mess up because in every game they make so much errors and the coach isn't ready to do anything about it.
I don't really think is about Jackson, I feel whatever that is happening is highly tolerated by the club, an extension of Nicolas Jackson's contract till 2033 explains it all. However as for Mikel Obi I think he was only advocating for a better Chelsea team by pointing out the irregularities and mistakes of jackson, but instead of Jackson to rather improve on his performance, he saw Mikel's remarks as a personal attack on his person.
I watched that Mikel's interview, the young man was just passionate about his former club not being a mediocre team, that's was why he was instrumental in helping to make sure the victor osimhen move to Chelsea was fruitful but it all ended in dead luck.
Nicolas Jackson style of play makes me remember Nicola Anelka when he was still playing for Chelsea, Anelka will miss like 10 chances to score and make use of just 2 chances.
