You are waiting until today to bring evidence? What do you do with the shame that envelopes you every week?

Are you in anyway suggesting that I need to remind you that Muniz has 3 goals in 17 matches?

That's one of the best ways to show superiority - when they met.

Muniz scored a goal Jackson might have miscued for the keeper to catch with his left leg. Jackson was bundled out for spoiling good attacking moments.

A fit Muniz is a better striker to your bang average Jackson. Sherwood was right when he claimed sometimes he plays football like a rapper in a socceraid match.

In recent years, we’ve had the following strikers: Fernandud, Orimida aka Morata, Timo, Havertz, Higuan, Eto, Shevy, Tammy, Broja, and Lukaku.

Which one of these strikers would you rather have playing ahead of MJ right now? We also have Nkunku, who we all thought was going to be our main striker, but he's been underwhelming. I absolutely agree that we need a better finisher than MJ. However, he hasn't done badly for an unknown striker that we bought for peanuts. I would even argue that he has delivered, he is delivering, and he’s still pushing above his weight
MJ could even develop his game to be our modern-day Anelka—who knows lol

But our wingers really need to step up or be ready to be shipped out. In my eyes, Sancho, who’s on 250k but delivering not even half of Salah's figures, should be sent back to ManU unless he chooses to earn 80k with us. Madueke and Neto also need to up their games or look for another club in the near future.

Interesting.

Ladies and gentlemen, Airmark have joined the Guiu train

Before long, he will try to take the agenda from Gucciboy

Gucciboy make you no gree o... Na your agenda be dis. No allow Airmark claim say na him first start to recommend Guiu here. I repeat, no gree oooo..

It's a shame that i am even tilting towards that idea. I never imagined a time will come i will prefer a teenage striker to replace our main striker.


Meanwhile, you are yet to answer : Do you have Jackson in your Fpl team?

I like the fact that everyone is now hitting on what I have been saying for quite a while. We have wingers with zero goal threat stinking up everywhere. The one that has little goal threat has a bad attitude and misses a lot of chances. I am really hoping Sancho and Neto get 8 league goals combined

diggz:
I agree with your point. However, abeg palmer should never be moved to the wings. Instead make Felix go try him luck for wings. To be honest, Felix and Sancho needs to share that right side going forward.

There's nothing wrong with Palmer going to the wing to accommodate another goal getter in Nkunku playing that 10 role. Nkunku as a 10 is also a beast.

It's shameful that Sherwood described Chelsea's top striker in this way, after spending over 1.2bn on players.

"At times he looks like someone playing in Soccer Aid who’s not a footballer. Look at this chance [Jackson’s miss from six yards], that looks like someone who is a rapper or an actor or something trying to play football."

We can't continue with this crap.

Ibime:
Nkunku is useless any day and any time

Positionless player, not strong, can't press, loses every ball played into him

But Cucurella was responsible for the second goal. Go and watch it. I was screaming while the ball was in the air for Cucu to get back in position, but he was on his heels having a rest. Laziness of the highest order

I disagree on Nkunku.

Cucurella was insane for that also missed a point blank header that would have put the game to bed.

I am just getting to see this. Thought it was injury concern but Madueke was dropped by Maresca. For Maresca to pick two goalkeepers on the bench over you then it's something serious.

airmark:
He hasn't delivered up to the expected Chelsea's standard, that's why he is not playing full time recently. That's why in our last 12 goals he only scored 1. Thats why Raumdeuter doesn't want him to replace oldman Kane at Bayern.

We spent over 1.2bn on players and the most important position upfront we filled it with an average striker, with1 goal in 18 matches for his national team. That should be corrected, as we need a striker that can carry the team when our wingers down tools.

Anelka trained from his younger age as a finisher, while Jackson was called Neymar in Senegal because of his flicks and not for his scoring skills. Only TB Joshua and he is dead, may do that miracle on a striker, who Ibime said his legs are not straight.

You speak of MJ like he’s one of our marquee signings, but he is not. He is an unpolished, unfinished developing player. The club and the coach know this, along with most of the fan base and football heads.

You know I am fully in support of us getting a better striker, so there’s no agenda from my side. However, I listed a bunch of strikers we’ve spent substantial fees on, plus our academy players, and none of them beats Jackson in any metrics.

For the old monikers here, please correct me if I’m wrong. Some of us can remember how Anelka started with us until Carlo came through to strike a deadly partnership between him and Didier, and the rest was history. So, I believe MJ has a future here, even if not as the main striker.

While we are scrutinising his performance, I would like to remind you that the world’s deadliest striker, Haaland, missed chances yesterday, including a penalty. He failed to secure a much needed 3pts for his team at their lowest moment. He had not one, two or three chances including a free Penalty, but he still failed to deliver. Also, could you remind us again what Haaland's contributions have looked like in the past couple of games? My point is that even if we get MJ's replacement tomorrow, there’s no guarantee that he will get us our three points all the time. A case in point is Didier (our legend) f00lishly getting himself sent off against ManU during a UCL final, but had the opportunity to redeem himself a few years later against raumdeuter's Bayern. Even DD was proper rubbish in his first and second season with us until he peaked form. MJ can still come good too.

I rest my case.

Nkunku is a bum! Person wey no fit track back or press or hold play. Nah man….the bum needs to fvck off asap.

Kimbeast:

Cucu isn't a striker. Comparing him to Nkunku in any way just highlights how useless a player Nkunku is for the team. Honestly, Nkunku is a total bum, no doubt about it.

The issue with Nkunku is that he is not a sub player. He will hardly make an impact with 15 mins to go. The nigga is sulking from sitting on the bench.

Those are two different sentences. I disagreed with his assessment of Nkunku and also highlighted how Cucurella missed a point blank header that would have killed the game plus his laziness for the 2nd goal.

The other problems you didn't mention are that he's not a starter, not a proper striker, not a hustler, and just a positionless bum.

Hopefully, we can collect small thing for him soon, so e fit go sulk for another team. Useless player!

I understand your take but he is way better than his performances suggest. I would like to see him in that 10 role for 2 to 3 league matches before drawing final conclusions. He needs the step up or find his way out.

Kimbeast:

I completely disagree with your assessment of Cucu. No offense, but it sounds like you don’t engage much in physical activities. First of all, Cucu had no business being in that position for a free header, and he did the best he could at that moment.

Secondly, considering how actively he was involved in moving forward to combine with the attackers, covering spaces in the midfield, and defending at the same time, it’s not surprising that fatigue set in during the later stages of the game. I won’t hold him accountable for the second goal; instead, it’s the chronic gambler pretending to be our keeper, Sanchez, who is really responsible here.

PS - I could even argue that bringing on the bum Nkunku led to the second goal. Lol

The point is we made a mistake of using an unriped striker that should have been corrected before the season started.

I never rated Morata, and you know. Havertz is not a natural striker. Higuain was washed when we got him on loan. Let's leave those and talk about finishers available now that are confident to score in the box. Gyokeres will not be as goal-shy as Jackson in the box.

We should not continue to be a laughing stock regarding the striker leading our line. Spurs won't even bench Solanke for Jackson.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. You want to see Nkunku in the 10 position instead of Palmer? Abeg, no oooo… that bum can’t replicate Palmer’s numbers in that role. Plus, we’ve seen Palmer on the wings before, and he wasn’t great there. We don’t want another Havertz experiment; that bum should go ply his trade elsewhere, abeg.

diggz:
We need to get rid of both Gusto and James ASAP! Gusto is an utterly useless person player like lordfalcao. He offers nothing going forward and can't defend to save his life.

this one masturbates to my name every night.

* There's no excuse for missing that free header. It was from a set piece and he should be scoring that. The keeper didn't even do much in keeping that out.


*His attitude for the 2nd goal was nonchalant. That's not something you should be defending. Sanchez was at fault so was Cucurella. Fulham goal came from where Cucu was supposed to be positioned.

airmark:
And he scored a winner where Jackson flopped.

17 league appearances.

3 goals.

Take this nonsense striker away from here.

Bro Nkunku won golden boot playing the 10 or supporting striker role in Germany. He is capable of getting double digits in league goals with constant game time. Palmer was great on the wing last season. He scored the same number of goals.

Fulham will prefer him to Jackson that plays like a
rapper.

Agreed! But whose fault is it that we went into the season with an unripe striker? Is it the striker’s fault or the club’s fault? If it’s the club’s fault, shouldn’t you be pointing fingers at them instead of MJ?

I repeat, not even Gyokeres would have guaranteed us 3 points yesterday. If I’m not mistaken, Haaland missed more than 3 clear chances, including a free penalty. Useless Solanke couldn’t help his team either; they got beaten by Forrest.

Jackson has 9 PL goals and 3 assists, while Solanke, who is a more proven EPL striker, has only 6 PL goals and 3 assists. God forbid Spurs get their hands on a half-decent striker like MJ.

My brother, Timo, and Havertz were fantastic players in Germany before they came to the EPL. We all know how we feel about those two players now.


PS - We have too many players on the left wing, including those currently in the club, on loan, and those expected to join soon. We shouldn’t complicate our problems just to fit in a bum. He should leave ASAP.

I blamed Maresca and Chelsea for not sending him on loan as I suggested, before the window closed. He was/is not ready to lead our attack to contend for Epl.

We saw Gyokeres for club and country scoring goals that Jackson wouldn't score. His numbers for club and country is enough to tell one that he is better than Jackson in front of goal and in the box.

Spurs won't prefer Jackson to Solanke. No sane coach will prefer a notorious wasteful striker to a natural finisher.

Any striker with 1 goal in 18 matches for his country , shouldn't be the main striker for a top club like Chelsea. The red flag is obvious.

Nkunku plays like someone who has an underlying heart problem and that may be why he lacks that energy to press
Again he and Felix doesn't fit this system

Caicedobets:
Chelsea need to sell nkunku and Felix because they don't know how to press and so don't fit into Enzo Maresca system

Against Spurs Felix came in and we concede a 3rd goal
Against Brentford same thing we see when Nkunku was brought in

again
My point keeps ringing

WhoDeyHause:
Salah has scored. If care is not taken these guys might even win a treble like apari too.

I don't mind them winning it all for real

I really don't get how Nkunku became lazy or nonchalant. This guy was a pressing monster as Leipzig. Coaches were even using him as wingback and fullbacks. Sitting on the bench constantly has done something to him. He needs to get back to his top level or leave the club.

airmark:
Do you have Jackson in your Fpl team?

God forbid.. you no like success

popizaino:
Our previous match against Everton made me realise that Maresca is just a one way tactician. You needed a goal but yet you are substituting your striker for another inefficient striker Nkuku. Is it a sin to have both of them together upfront? And what happened to removing Neto while Plamer goes to the wink,and either the Nkuku or Felix to the ten role? And if Sancho continues to be cutting back,you remove him and put Madueke.

We Chelsea fans are to reactionary

Which day ajao Felix turn superstar?
Mudryk got himself banned from football, madueke has not been doing well in training

We failed to reinforce our defense and first team players like James, fofana are out injured again as usual

Gusto was useless making Neto track back
Nkunku was invisible when he was subbed on

But as maresca don sell us dreams of a title una wan come kill am
