Recency bias, acting like Jackson wasn't cooking for the first 3 months of the season

...when you look at the dross we have played for a number of years, and how badly the signings of big names have damaged us recently, then I am so happy to be giving a new process a chance to see how it goes.

I hope many of our fans give these unproven youngsters the time and space to imbed and adjust - and not jump in their back like they did with potter. 

f**king hell, you almost couldn't write it 🤣

Not at all - I said for a long time that Potter wasn’t doing a good enough job. 
 

But the way way out “fans” turned the place into a toxic mess was disgraceful. With fans like that, who needs enemies?

A toxic mess?! gosh, i wonder who's been doing that all season on this thread... and every thread he can divert off on a Jackson tangent...

"fan"

I have been toxic with Jackson, a player I openly loath.

Very supportive of others. Including not calling for the head of Maresca in the polls.

Jackson doesnt deserve a place in this team - and is utter sh*te. The sooner he goes the better. I will not be patient with him. He just needs to f**k off.

Yeah - He played really well in that 1 game against wet spam, in the first half against leicester, and in that 10 min spell against newcastle. If thats him cooking, then I prefer to go hungry.

You do realise those messages were from you in this very thread telling people to support Jackson and give him time?

As previously mentioned, you're hypocritical weirdo.

I dont know what the issue is. He came. I gave a chance. He proved quickly that he was beyond hope. I ran out of patience. Really simple. I have also never said my hatred of him is rational.

...and that Isak was sh*t for that period too.

Isak deserves credit for single-handedly dragging Newcastle out of their muck, though.

i agree

Jackson is a Kalou level player and should really be the back up to the main man but we won’t get one with these owners. Imagine if we had gone with Kalou as the number 9 with no Drogba, we would have won nothing. Actually, I think they are very similar in that they are wingers that can do a job, kind of, as a number 9.

Personally, when Jackson is fit again for the end of the season, I would have him and Neto alternating between the wing and number 9 during matches. I’ve been impressed with Neto in the past two games and I think some of the hate on him has been unfair as at least he puts a shift in.

Not until the police find him bound and gagged in @nonotnowjim basement.

I'd prefer Anastasia Steele myself, but each to their own !

Thanks a lot. Ruined my weekend by reminding me he is coming back.... WTF man? Please be careful with your words, some of us bruise easily!

Some of us are made of stronger stuff I suppose.

On the subject of still needing to sign a genuine top quality centre-forward, this comes from the BBC match reports this afternoon:

"Erling Haaland has now been involved in 100 Premier League goals in just 94 appearances (84 goals, 16 assists). He is the first player to reach 100 goal involvements in fewer than 100 games."

And also from the same BBC live feed, this about an up and coming young centre-forward we have been linked with:

"Liam Delap is a really handful, a pest, he's led the line well and if Ipswich end up in the Championship, you think there must be bigger and better things ahead for him in the Premier League."

Whatever you think of Jackson we desperately need him back in the team.

Not even Jim could possibly argue against that.

There are many better strikers out there but not at Chelsea so once fit he plays.

We don't need Jackson back, a striker out of the reserves is a better idea, Jackson only scored maybe 1 in 8 good chances, our reserve players can't really do any worse.

We need him back to get the joy of him missing an easy chance or two, to then go missing all game, eventually costing us 3 points.

We really don't need him back.

What we need is a style of football that sees us move the ball from back to front quickly - playing to the strengths of the attackers we have. Neto. Nkunku. Sancho. they all thrive on quick transition football - not the stale and stagnant dross maresca has us playing.

Hate that I'm agreeing in this thread but-

If your style of football relies on Nicolas Jackson for it to work, then it is a sh*t style of football and inherently unreliable.

He's back. 4 goals in 3 wins against Tottenham, time to get back to your best, Jacko.

Hope you are limbering up those typing fingers Jim lad !
