I need to start this one by saying that I’m not writing Nicolas Jackson off, removed from it. I do have my doubts about him, however I may acknowledge that he’s nonetheless younger and has possibilities to develop as time goes by. However my issues had been there, and sure, they’re nonetheless there after he scored a hat trick final evening.
I’m BUZZING for Jackson to get his targets final evening. He looks as if an ideal individual and a very good character to have round. Shushing the Spurs followers when Cole Palmer scored his penalty, after which having the audacity to do the ‘Ronaldo Siuuuu’ celebration when he scored was simply hilarious. He was on a wind up and I really like that about him. His character appears nice.
It’s his means that issues me a bit. I feel he did present a couple of good touches final evening and he was generally just a little extra concerned than he has been not too long ago. However he nonetheless missed BIG possibilities, and if Spurs didn’t go right down to 9 males then I feel we’d all be having the identical dialog this morning concerning issues about Jackson. The header he missed from level clean vary is simply inexcusable.
He had the fourth least quantity of touches (26) solely forward of subs Malo Gusto, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Lesley Ugouchukwu, in our entire staff. And earlier than his targets he missed two massive possibilities.
I nonetheless see him struggling to get too concerned in video games and ghosting at occasions. Sarcastically I feel he greatest bits of soccer had been performed on the left hand aspect when he drifted huge, and I nonetheless assume huge striker is his greatest place.
I see him enjoying with one other striker, one who’s extra central, one who’s a extra conventional model striker.
Chelsea completely MUST go and signal a brand new striker in January if we’re to have an opportunity of reaching Champions League soccer, I had no doubts about that earlier than final evening, and I’ve no doubts about that after final evening. We want the focus in assault, a participant who can maintain the ball and hyperlink different gamers in. And a participant who is aware of easy methods to rating all varieties of targets and is assured in entrance of the online.
For me, that man HAS to be Ivan Toney, and no I don’t care about his age. Would anybody have stated no to 30-year-old Harry Kane in the summertime? No, me neither.
This squad NEEDS extra confirmed and skilled gamers for the right here and now; I’ve been saying that because the summer time. We want distinction makers and extra maturity, in order that in video games like that final evening these varieties of gamers stand as much as be counted and affect these round them.
Toney is confirmed, Toney is skilled, and Toney is a top quality striker. I don’t assume for one minute that Chelsea might be delay by his age, and nor ought to they be. We will’t ONLY signal younger gamers and I consider the board are seeing that.
Bringing in a 28-year-old skilled participant to steer our assault could be the wisest factor we do that January.
While I don’t assume he’s price £100m, nor do I feel he’ll find yourself going for that value, I do assume he’s price a good quantity of bag to unravel the most important drawback that we nonetheless have going ahead.
I really like Victor Osimhen and I really do assume if we signed him he would are available and show his price straight away. Nonetheless, there may be nonetheless the aspect of threat of coming from a special nation in to a brand new league.
Don’t get me fallacious although, I’d again signing Osimhen, completely. However I simply assume Toney is the higher match for what we want proper now.
Victor Osimhen
What’s most vital is that we signal a real all spherical quantity 9 and use them as the focus that we want and lack. I’ve by no means been extra positive of something in latest occasions.
Once more, I’ll finish this on a optimistic. I’m BUZZING for Jackson getting his targets final evening and I beloved seeing him absorb each minute of it. I nonetheless assume he has so much to supply and room to develop some extra. Hopefully he now kicks on and baggage extra targets and silences my very own doubts that I’ve with him, I’d LOVE it for him to try this. I’m totally prepared him to.
