So top class strikers have never missed a half chance like that either?....... chinny chinny reckon.

It wasn't a half chance, it's an open goal.

Top class strikers miss chances like that, once in about twenty chances, and when they do miss that chance, they often make up for it by scoring with their next chance. Like I said yesterday, if Jackson takes one of those other chances, then it's not a big deal, but he had 3 or 4 really good chances to score yesterday and fluffed all of them. Palmer missed an easy chance early in the 2nd half too, but the reason why nobody is talking about it is because he bagged 4 goals earlier. 

There is no doubt in my mind that Nkunku scores one of them, more than likely all of them.

Literally none of that is worse than claiming someone is racist now is it, a frankly disgusting thing to do. 

Quite funny you being upset at my abuse, while simultaneously calling someone a donkey, a coward, unintelligent, man-child, fetishists etc...

 

Mate, Im simply using Jims words that he has used to describe Jackson. I dont consider what you said abuse, rather trying to engage, and to that I say good stuff. 

My point is that Jim cant move on from his odd obsession and or fetish, posts about it on literally every post even outside the Jackson thread. Here's a dictionary definition of 

obsession

UK /əbˈsɛʃn/noun (mass noun)1. the state of being obsessed with someone or something she cared for him with a devotion bordering on obsession2. (count noun)an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind he was in the grip of an obsession he was powerless to resist

He does it sometimes though, West Ham being the latest example. I dont know if these things can be taught, but if he can get rid of that extra touch and that little hesitation that sometimes holds him back, I truly believe he’ll be rated among the top 3-5 strikers in the world

Are you serious about Jackson being potentially in the top 3-5 bracket in the world? Appreciate certain qualities such as athleticism and heads up attitude, but think you’re bonkers

As for Jackson, 

Without him and Palmer we wouldnt have had the start to the season we've had. We have a really strong player developing. 

Would Nkunku do a job, probably, but I'd play him in his more natural position on the left, currently where Sancho is doing well.

Nkunku will get a ton of minutes this season and start a load of games.. Not worried about it. 

Figners crossed Jackson gets 20+ goals. He's on for it.

Well if Jackson could consistently finish then he would easily be in the top 3-5 bracket. That is the only part of his game missing in my opinion

Yes and his shot was on target, after adjusting himself to shoot. I credit the Brighton player for the block rather than sh*t on our own player, who did everything possible to score.

I don't understand how petty people are on here, Jackson made that whole chance himself from a hopeful high ball.

For the record, Jackson is a decent player. Very good player. Personally, IF I were coach I might start with Nkunku in a few games. I would even like to bring another striker into the mix, into the squad to challenge for the spot. I think we should be on the look out for another striker always. I am glad we didn't sign a striker over the summer as I was really not thrilled with the players who were talked about.

Jackson has tremendous ability and he has great charachter and commitment. He needs to improve on his offsides and decision making. I believe he can do that.

Which record is that?  Because in the official one, i.e the one that matters, he is trash....

....But agree that we should def be starting Nkunku for a few games, and Guiu in the cups.

He didnt do everything possible to score though did he? He had a trash first touch, and then shot it literally the only place where the defender could get it.  He could have, for instance, fired it into the top corner.

...So not quite everything as you allege. Blinkers off. No need to be argumentative for the sake of it.  Its fine if you like him, but there is no need to make up nonsense like 'he did everything possible" - because if he had, then he would have scored.

It's a pretty important part for a striker.

....next levels of blinkered'ness here.

If it wasnt for Jackson, Palmer wouldnt have hammered it into the top corner from the free kick?

If it wasnt for jackson, palmer wouldnt have put away the pen?

If it wasnt for Jackson, palmer wouldnt have assisted madueke against wolves?

Indeed, but his stats are not so bad - they are in fact decent - and he is committed to the Chelsea team/squad and he has blue hair sometimes. Gotta recognise some of the positives.

I do recognise the positives...... 

....I applauded when he was subbed yesterday.  Got to take the small wins.

Yes. To be fair, top strikers seem to be a dying breed so its not the same competition it once was.
You’re right in your assessment of me, though

Get with the programme....he is an elite striker.... honest 😄

Thought you asked few days ago about putting the despicable unintelligent donkey on ignore. Mate, use it. Unfortunately might still see his nonsense when quoted by others but the f**ker does post a great deal so you'll be saved from most of them.

I don’t see the problem.

He got an assist, had a goal cleared off the line, excellent work rate, great link up, a constant menace against brighton’s defence.

His partnership with Palmer is fantastic, the way Palmer set him up for that chance, that’s all down to their partnership and that’s key. A goal scoring chance out of nothing.

I can see why people find him frustrating but I’m happy with him. He’ll get many, many more assists and a few more goals and that’s good enough for me.

7 G/A in 6 games.

I have no particular axe to grind, i just prefer Nkunku as a player, i think he would give us at least this and more, and i think he just hasn't been given a proper chance to develop here yet.  If they are going to compete then it has to be fair and Nkunku gets as much chance ti play as Jackson.

Nicolas Jackson has equalled Kai Havertz's goals/assists tally for Chelsea. He's done it in 40 fewer matches.

Adding:

 

I'm assuming that is premier leage? because I think he has a few more in all comps

Id guess that in the Roman era only costa has better stats in his first 40 games ... maybe Anelka at a push. 

Prior to that we had Jimmy id have jackson every day over Jimmy. Actually, if we could combine the two... 

I think when I look around the prem I dont see many better as a number 9 . Halland for sure but then what, maybe Solanke, Isak and Watkins but the latter 2 would now cost you 100 million and I'm not sure they areworth that. Arsnenal crying out for one, Darwin has not exactly been a success.  I don't follow football on the continent as much as I used to, I saw that many are raving about the sporting CF, but it's always a gamble and at that cost I'm not sure it would be worthit. If we were to go and spunk the best part of 80 million on a player a keepr should surly be the priority.

Cheacked it, Anelka took way longer... settles it, second best number 9 we have had in 20 years in his first 40 games
