John Obi Mikel, a veteran at Chelsea, was brutal in his criticism of Nicolas Jackson after the 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
As a result of Erling Haaland’s goal in the 18th minute of the Blues’ Premier League debut, Marc Cucurella regretted making a joke about Euro 2024.
There was a golden opportunity for Chelsea to pull one back just before halftime when Jackson scored, but his goal was disallowed due to offside.
He wasted a golden opportunity to score when he dallied on the ball instead of charging toward the goal, leading to a subsequent offside call.
Meanwhile, during halftime, Mikel summed up the frustrations of Chelsea fans with Jackson while punditting for beIN Sports.”We’ve played OK, we haven’t played perfect, but we’ve played OK,” stated the coach.
We haven’t capitalized on the opportunities we’ve created. And this is only one example of how Jackson wraps things up.
“You can see there, even though he was offside, he dribble [past[ one or two or three players and the way he shot the ball!”
“We don’t have a striker who knows how to hit a ball back in the back of the net,” he said, his arms extended.I apologize if it comes across as disrespectful when I constantly bring him up in conversation. I mean no disrespect to him.
I believe that Chelsea Football Club would benefit from signing a top-tier striker.
“A bit like [Haaland], 91 goals [for City] that’s absolutely unbelievable.”Ever since signing an eight-year agreement with Chelsea for £32 million from Villarreal last summer, Jackson’s performances have been all over the place.
He has 45 total appearances for the Blues, but his goal total is 17 for the season and 6 assists.
After Mateo Kovacic scored a late goal for City, Chelsea fell 2-0. Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli, has been linked to Chelsea in a move that may send Romelu Lukaku elsewhere.
Despite this, the deal is presently “blocked” according to Napoli director Giovanni Manna.
Victor is a key player with significant value and conditions, he added.
His aim is crystal apparent. We did our best to keep the team together at this critical juncture.”At this time, it is not right to say what sensations there are,” Mann said when asked if Chelsea, Arsenal, or Paris Saint-Germain are Osimhen’s preferred destinations.
In order to discover the optimal option, we are collaborating with his entourage. His whereabouts are not coincidental; after all, he is a key participant.
