You can simultaneously think Jackson was a bargain signing that is a useful & versatile player who will chip in goals and be (generally) happy with him, WHILE knowing we need a senior number 9 for these moments. I also see a lot of green shoots in Jackson's general play. Though his 3 chances were 0.7xg, and elite striker may stick a low value chance away, that COULD even be Jackson in 5 years, but not right now,.

I have no words other than I am beginning to like Pochetino.

POCH IN!!!!! Our players are developing, we go toe to toe with the best in the world. We will come good!

You are right Yan. We can all agree that the players didn't do the manager any favours by missing those chances

He actually has had pep’s number since spurs we just cannot finish our dinner. Shameful performance from Jackson

As upset I am at this result, you have to remember this is our first season as this particular squad, to end up 1-0 losers to arguably the best team in the world gives me some comfort. We definitely weren't bossed in this game. With all the changes throughout the club and the very young, inexperienced squad, I don't think we've had that bad of a season! I don't feel we are at the level of most teams around us, I feel overall we are better. Brighton, man u, Newcastle or even Villa. I know some are way above in the league, but we aren't far off, sort out our defence and our mid game tactics and we are right up there next season.

I’m sorry but we need a real top striker badly poch done everything he could.

This hurts more cos poch set us up to win and the players completely let him down

Absolutely deserved more 😢🐐

Anyone Blaming Poch For Jackson Missing Chances and Chillwell Turning Blind eye to that pass needs to be checked asap Bring Osimhen ASAP

Yann poch deserves another season i love the way his set us up for games

Poch set us up for good! I don’t wanna hear that Poch blames, Jackson is shit and Enzo

If it’s not a penalty, then a corner should have been awarded….

Jackson, Jackson,Jackson what the hell just take one chance 💙💙💙

Jackson should have been taken off at half-time. We miss so many chances, just because Jackson can score once in 50 chances. Penalty was denied to Chelsea.

4:23 if it wasn't a penalty surely it was a corner?!

"Sorry I missed" Jackson, he ain't for real

He absolutely didnt. Fake fans would come on here and blame him regardless. Poch deserved better. Jackson ruined this game

Jackson can say bye bye to his starting spot next seadon

Jackson a shameful performance at centre forward. School boys would have finished those two great chances. He needs to apologise to his defenders who were excellent today.

Hero to Villain to Absolute waste of a striker in 2 games. Scored a great goal, then fought Palmer and now misses a hat trick of easy chances.

Chances don’t win games, goals do it’s very simple.

Jackson is not an elite striker... 😢

Jackson will be a perfect left wing

It hurts but there’s clear progression from last season. Few big experienced signings in the summer (CB, ST maybe GK & LB) and next season will be exciting.

Let's not forget that it's on Poch and his team to coach Jackson on the attributes that would make him a top class striker, such as finishing. We could all see a couple games into the season how bad Jackson's finishing was and the coaches have had the entire season to work on it day in day out on the training pitch and in the video analysis room. So either, they have not worked on it with him or they have worked on it with him but Jackson is either ignoring the instructions or is incapable of replicating what he's been instructed to do.

Despite the loss, I’m finally feeling hopeful again. Our defense will be back next season and we’re a striker away from an unstoppable front line

Michael Oliver 1 Chelsea 0 as usual.

love you Yan.. as one of my fojerner exes ued to say.. "keep doing" hold on to the good and evaluate the shit.

I agree with how you summed up the game and where we stand as a club currently and thanks for not be hysterical like some off the other reactor channels. Keep up the good work!!

Most of these players need to be shipped out next season ktbffh🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️💙

We played well. I'm frustrated that we didn't capitalize on our chances, but I can also see the progress we've made this season. I believe the talent we have injured is the difference between where we are now, and being in the top 4 with a trophy already this season. Now let's finish these last few games, strong.💪🔥💙

Thought Jackson had been playing well,but time for Osimehn now. Cucurella played well in parts but his positioning is awful if Poch had made the subs earlier that goal doesn't happen(chilwell doesn't concede that) 2 pens I reckon but all in all Poch done well. We were unlucky 💙💙💙

There’s definitely signs of improvement. Some of the build up play is brilliant. Just lacking in the decision making in final 3rd and finishing with some players. I think with this group and a proper st we can make a push for top 4 next season. As long as everyone learns from mistakes this season.

Totally agree your closing comments about feeling bad for Poch. There are definite signs of the potential quality in the team being gradually honed into a winning mentality. I am hopeful for the future. The silverware will come , patience is needed. Poch needs our support in the meantime.

agree with you, see how Jackson develops next season. He has plenty of potential if or once he gets his head around it. Apart from the missed opportunities the first half was excellent. As time.e went on then experience shone through for city, as it used to for us years ago. Just got to grind out gradual improvement through next season and hope the injured players join in again, and poss even an additionand sale or two if necessary. Only start to consider Potches position next season if nothing changes for the better.

Gameplan was perfect, 80% of the execution was also perfect. Some sloppy play at the back in the early stages, and no need to mention the poor finishing that cost us yet again this season. The performance deserved a win. Very promising signs for the future. If i were poch, id make sure the tape of that game is on the sportong directors desk first thing tomorrow with a post-it note asking for a striker in the summer

Tweeted at the 65th minute if we lose it’s not on poch. Those boys weren’t up for it today.

Well played today lads. Great tactics from Poch. We looked super organised. Created lots of chances. Jackson missed sitters yes. But I see a player starting to emerge. We are improving!

Road to Top 6 WoooooooHooooooo!!

Jackson cost us the match - simple as that!!

i really enjoyed the game, i feel we played really well, shame some of those chances didnt go in, but the fact we were even in a position to score makes me happy

Osimhen, Gykores, Any of the 2! Diogo Costa, Kobel, Martinez, New no1 GK also needed Hopefully we stop throwing money away on average players and inexperienced players

We were the better team, our final third play let us down today, but lads it’s city, this was gonna be hard. I’m happy with everything all things considered even though it was incredibly frustrating at least we are progressing.

Jackson was pure utter rubbish. A striker that had numerous one on one situation and yet can’t finish the job. Poch don’t even consider to substitute him!

Gutted with the result to be honest we were by far the superior side. Jackson missing chances was irritated me but he works hard and his all round play was very good

Felt Jackson did very very well

As I have said many times I hate calling out individual players BUT Jackson has got to be sold or loaned out. He has athletic ability but he has zero instinct as a striker. Poch should have brought him off at halftime . I was so angry I actually walked out to the back of my property and started cutting down trees with an ax. I feel better now but Jackson is not the striker this club needs.

Poch at the wheel. We will be good next season

You can see real improvements in the team and I feel we need to give Poch until Christmas at least. Another full pre-season and input into players in/out. And it goes without saying we need a clinical striker!

We played really well at times. Not a disaster like so many of this season’s performances. But Jackson, he just doesn’t have it.

Glad you’re finally seeing the good in them they just need time and they will be excellent. Days like today are lessons to them we want to win of course but we lost to the best team in the world and were the better team I think it’s just a matter of time a we will be on top again I’ve never doubted it, I wasn’t expecting anything from this year just let these kids learn to play together we’ve got to a final a semifinal and we could finish 7th and these kids have been booed for it. If we get behind them if the know we believe in them then they will preform like we’ve seen they can

Yes agree the team is not far off at all

We've just gone toe to toe with one of the best teams in the world and smashed 6 past Everton without conceding on Monday. The early season poor finishing came back to haunt us today, but we're starting to show positive signs. We just need that killer instinct from a striker and the return from injury of key players. We'll be better next season.

I don’t care what you say Yannick. Jackson needs to get the fuck out of my club

A lot depends upon what players get destructed by the owners at end of season.

I was flip flopping with poch in/out after the sheff utd and burnley games but looking at the whole picture I don't think theres anyone better available for our current situation, especially as he has now had time with (most) of the squad and there are clear improvements. Worth giving him the rest of this season and at least the start of next season to see how it goes, also taking into account (provided they're fit!😬) lavia, james, chukwumeka, ugochukwu (excuse my spelling) and nkunku will be like new signings plus any actual new signings/loan recalls we make will strenghten the quality of the 1st 11 and squad as a whole. I may be in the minority but feel a few tweeks and a bit more maturity can push this team to be something special...KTBFFH!!!

I just wanna know how you round the keeper then PASS THE FUCKING BALL! JASCKSON ARRRRRGHHHH! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Once Gusto got injured I felt that was going to make the back 4 open to an attack down that side and it ultimately did. Question: How many "nils" have we returned in Wembley since it reopened? Good presentation dude.

Bro Jackson So Wasteful...I Believe Lauren James Could Do Much Better Than Him🤮💙🇯🇲💙

yes he did he played Gallagher on the wing again. which didn't work against sheffield so he thought he would do it again lol. it's so spursy of him to change what works there is no consistency for a young team.

I agree with you and I think we played really well maybe you can talk to Matisse as he needs some football therapy

We played well, it's a shame but we are the Chels and we'll be back soon enough. Thanks for the vid Yan the man

Jackson was really annoying. Who cares about holding up the ball when u ain't putting the ball in the back of the net

Talking about Jacksons xg, xg was 0 when he rounded the keeper because he didnt actually shoot. So in reality his xg was higher than you're reporting.

This Championship-level player Mudryk needs to be sold or loan for a long long long time

Jackson is going to get killed by media and fans after today but he needs to keep his head up. Not many strikers can create as many problems as he did for that City defense today. Excellent general play, as for finishing, he'll surely improve. If I had to vote for Chelsea's MOTM today it'd be him. He's 22 and has already shown more promise than any striker we've signed since Costa. He's a big talent, maybe competing with another striker, Osimhen or Sesko next season, will help him develop in peace.

We would win with better players simple

So at last you're getting the massage, team was set up perfectly to play city, tactics were spot on, created plenty enough chances, CAN'T-FV

Please we all as Chelsea fans should protest we don’t deserve to be seeing these foolishness

It’s the story of our season, chances being created l, but not taken keep costing us

Credit to Pochetino the man got everything right, the tactics were on point, city were outplayed. some players need to be serious, Jackson and Chilwel to be specific

As angry as i am, im also happy that the club would be able to clearly see that Jackson is not the man to spearhead the attack

i love the enthusiasm after a match like that.. top job.. luike the video you bastards.

xG doesn't take into account who takes the shot by the way. It's just looking at the percentage of similar shots from the same areas that end up as goals.

We were playing the “best team in Europe”, and only lost by one. Like Yan, I’m on the fence with MP, just looking forward to next season 💙

The winner resulted from Pep subbing Doku for Grealish. Doku passed the ball to de Bruyne who crossed it to Bernardo Silva (via a touch from Petrovich)

We were the better team. But cant wait to see the twitter clout chasers call for his head again 🤷‍♂️ agenda gotta agend after all

💙

City had a 120 minute game 2 days ago. Love how Poch sets us up ? Did you see the game ? We were absolutely dominated and our goal opportunities came on counterattacks with City being dead on their feet with fatigue. It's great to support our team through thick and thin and all, but it's time, after two horrendous seasons, to acknowledge that a lot of players and the manager are subpar, while being overpaid for. Boehly came and dismantled the club on the pitch, in terms of non-playing personel and in regard of FFP. It's good that you like "believing in the process", because it will be your only football solace for quite a few years. Congrats, my masochistic friends.

Only thing you can put on poch is subs abit later but other than that all players

Poch deserved this. To start Jackson and Madueke after acting like children and putting Mudryk on the bench is insane.

We really shouldve won that. Even tho we lost i think poch has convinced a lot of "poch out" fans with this one he's more than capable of winning with this team. One elite striker away from top 4 contention

Chelsea threw that away, it was there for the taking. BUT, let’s face it, Chelsea are not a FA Cup finalist level. They did as well as could be expected. Having said that, should have had a Penalty and should have made better subs. But Chelsea this year have been disappointing, without Palmer and Gallagher we’d be 17th. We got what we deserved.

I never like Jackson but am beginning to change my mind towards him . He has got potentiels. Season over let's see what next season will look like

Petition for Jackson to be sold ASAP

As useful as Gallagher is, he's not a very good attacking player. Thus, when we have him up front we're not as efficient in attack. Nothing mysterious here.

I have been in Poch's camp for much of the season. Enzo was woeful and absolutely shouldn't have come back for this game after the incredible display from Caicedo and Conor against Everton. Since we set up to park the bus anyway, what was Enzo's intended role in this game? Would it not be better to instead drop Conor one level and put Mudryk's pace on the left for the break on the counter? Jackson should have been subbed at half time, it was clear he wasn't going to put anything away or be of any use on the day. I like Jackson generally, but today he was beyond useless and our changes should have reflected that earlier. Can't say that I agree with Poch being blameless today.

We're slowly becoming the young Arsene Wenger Arsenal that we bantered. Played decently, can't land results.

Have to agree its not Poch’s fault they’re good one game then bad the next. Do we get rid of him? A few EXPERIENCED players in key positions might make the difference (but don’t hold your breath, the owners won’t do it).

Grealish hand ball was deliberate. Warming to poch now tbh and Jackson needs a senior role model

You can't blame Poch.... the players, collectively and individually are just not good enough.

I agree

Strange Game. City had more of the ball and yet Chelsea created more chances, which is unusual when playing City, although they did turn the screw with 30 minutes to go. Every time I watch Chelsea play and the chances missed and wasted, I cannot help thinking: “If only they had a World Class Striker worthy of the name”, this could, would have and no doubt should have been, a different story for Chelsea this Season”. I also think Chelsea should have had a penalty. If the arm had been going out instead of in, that would have been given, so what is the difference it being the other way round. Not only that, if not handball then why can’t VAR say: “No penalty, but it is a corner”….they interfere in everything else!!! I would also love to know how the challenge by Walker “inside” the box is not a foul, but the exact same challenge “outside” the box is. I usually blame Pochettino in some way or another, but today I am looking in only one direction….Jackson. Pochettino set Chelsea up perfectly, but not much you can do when your Striker misses chance after chance, like he usually does. I used to get upset when Chelsea lost important games, sadly in this day and age I am getting far too used to it. Oh well, that I that for another Season, as far as Chelsea are concerned. Until Chelsea gets that World Class Striker, Chelsea will not stand much chance of winning another trophy.

Poch left out Sterling who scored against City at the bridge he would hav ran them ragged especially the tired city that turned up today .

I can't say I agree with the xg discussion. For the chance in the first half, Jackson doesn't even shoot, so that opportunity goes down as 0 xg. If he gets a shot of there, his total xg would likely be more than 1 for the game. For the 2nd chance, he also doesn't do as well as he should. He kind of chokes it and takes the shot on too early, which is why it's so weak. He was able to take another touch across the defender and closer to goal before getting the shot off which would've been higher xg. All in all, we need a striker in the summer. I would go for Toney, he's cheaper than Osimhen and has already shown what he can do in the prem.

Chillwell had a disturbing moment due to a lack of vision

We should play together, there's potential guys just need to get things together

Credit where it’s due Poch did set up this side well but sadly Jackson isn’t a main striker.

I dont blame poch, yes he made changes very late on but that wasn't what lost us the game. It was simply down to the absolute wastefulness in front of goal. Multiple chances to kill the game off & we fluffed EVERY SINGLE ONE.
