He is a beast, other teams would pay 60 to 100M for a 22 year old thats got 17 goals in all comps with no penalties, imagine him at 26 years old.. 

Without Jackson we look a different team trust me people dont realise the impact he has

Even if hes not playing ST hes a very good LW

He might be many things but a beast he is not.

Defenders shrug him off far too easily he doesn't seem capable of bullying a defender. Perhaps that will come with age. 

Great that he scored with a header yesterday though, as again, he wins very few 50/50 headers.

As well as his fantastic attitude for a striker he has excellent pace and a good first touch and can beat an opponent 1 on 1. He does hang on to the ball too long. I think he’s great ands hope he is the starting no 9 a for a few seasons. That’s my opinion but I am no expert just a long time spectator.

I like that but I'm not sure it's a statically useful sample. But... who cares it looks good.

 

Stats are only at best part of the story. This one favors Jacko. 
 

“What’s more, not one of his goals has been a penalty, meaning he ranks eighth in the Premier League this season for non-penalty goals. Of players who haven’t taken a single penalty, he is the division’s fourth-highest scorer.

This follows an impressive end to 2022-23 – which helped convince Chelsea to sign him – and means only 10 players have scored more non-penalty goals in Europe’s top five leagues since 1 January 2023 than him (24). Jackson has a better return in this period than Robert Lewandowski (23), Mohamed Salah (23), Son Heung-min (22), Jude Bellingham (20), Rafael Leão (17), Vinícius Júnior (16) and many, many more big names. And he was playing for far less dominant teams than any of those players.”

That’s an impressive stat if you think he was away at AFCON and could and should have more goals.
You can see the potential is there just needs refining.

The worst centre forward performance I have seen in the EPL this season.

Certainly up there with his worst run outs. I fully understand the defence of him overall relating to his stats over the season but tonight, for me, was a perfect example of the massive weaknesses in his game. Not a natural finisher and bloody awful at picking a pass.

The potential is sky high, but he is not ready to be the main striker, and due to recruitment policy, he lacks an experienced centre forward to learn from. I'm convinced he will be very good eventually, but without a proper mentor, it will take a lot longer.

He is rubbish. His game tonight showed it again....

Pretty poor show tonight but I don't agree with his goal being disallowed. Decision was soft as sh*te, but par for the course from that disgrace of a ref.

He was crap tonight and has had numerous games like that but also many good ones. There’s a lot of positive aspects to his game and he’s still only 22/23. Would be madness to not give him another year at least.

 

He seems  a better player all round than nunez at Liverpool and he’s gotten chance after chance and a lot more support from his fanbase compared to Jackson. 

I'll defend him in the sense that he has generally improved but today did not show that, just poor all round when it came to end product in both passing and shooting.
 

Still though his return this season in a new league in pretty much his first ever role as a starting striker is pretty good, but he's not good enough to be a starting striker for a team going for trophies.

The hate he gets on here is actually pretty sickening to me.

He's the same age as Tammy Abraham was in his first season with us, and I think he's had a better season than Tammy did, but whenever he turns in a bad performance he's labelled a donkey. 

Yah, do think some people need to tone it down a bit... especially when it's one of our own. (with the exception of Lukaku)

I don't think he's a donkey at all but, like Tammy, i don't think he's good enough to be a starter for us because he's so unreliable. More than happy for him to be our back up striker and play in cup games though because he's still developing.

It's a very weird one isn't it. I completely understand why everyone has a go at him, he's so bloody frustrating to watch. 

On paper he's been a very good signing, not that expensive, young, scoring goals, statistically very sound. Compare that to United's Ramsus who cost over 70 million and isn't really cutting the mustard it looks very flattering for Jackson.

But if you actually watch him, you just feel that a competent forward in this team would be doing so much better. There were numerous moments in the game that were so incredibly easy and he messed them up completely. Nkunku through on goal with acres of space, such an easy pass he has to make and what does he do? Plays the ball behind him.

Then we're 3 v 1 with the Brighton keeper, he has Palmer AND Nkunku to his left, anyone could've played that in. AGAIN what does Jackson do? He takes his sweet time and still doesn't manage to square the ball properly in a very easy situation. All that was in the space of 5 minutes.

It's moments like that which get him so much criticism and I'm hardly surprised. 

For the 1 on 1 with the keeper last night his first touch nearly went out for a corner!

He needs so many chances to take one. We have that base covered already by Sterling, thank you very much.

Jackson had two great chances to wrap up the game today, one for himself and another would have been an assist.

The first one he was put through 1v1, but he could barely get the ball under control. The 2nd one should have been an easy pass for Palmer, but instead of playing a simple bended cross, he hit it with the outside of the foot that hit the defender and went out for a corner. It's these kinds of things that infuriates everybody when it comes to Jackson. He keeps embarrassing himself trying stupid tricks that never pays off when he could just play an easy pass. 

I can't think of a player that does the hard part but messes up the easy part as often as Jackson. He alone probably cost us 20 more goals this season.

The best I can say for him is "he`s a trier", the kind of player that gets "clubman of the year" at the end of season awards. And thats not always a good thing.

Thought first half was one of his best performances I have seen. He looked quick and showed some good touches and even held the ball up a few times. But again the missed chances, the wrong decisions and he faded (most did yesterday in that heat - bar Gallagher).

A frustrating player but he's not as bad as I once thought he was!

 

Good first season with all the upheaval we had hopefully he learns rewatches his matches and work in the summer to improve his areas of weakness.

There would be an immediate improvement if he just cut out the things I posted above. I'm all for back heels and outside of the foot passes now and again, but if you're messing them up more often than not, then you should be saving them for when we are in a comfortable position score wise. 

He has potential I agree on that 

but 

he has no football brain , situational awareness , this cannot be trained into him 

the amount of 1v1 he has missed this season just blows my mind. The points he has lost us makes me feel sick. The Wembley semi final was a horror show. 
 

Washington must have a wooden leg to not get any minutes
