Glenn Murray was not impressed with Nicolas Jackson’s performance in the FA Cup clash between Chelsea and Leeds. The former striker, covering the game for BBC Radio 5 Live, expressed his frustration at Jackson’s frequent loss of possession during the match. Murray pointed out that the Senegalese striker seemed to struggle to retain the ball, causing breakdowns in Chelsea’s possession.
Although Jackson did score the equalizer for Chelsea, his overall performance was criticized by Murray. Statistically, it was evident that Jackson had a quiet game, winning only two out of thirteen ground duels and failing to make any key passes or crosses. His inability to retain possession and lack of impact in the game raised concerns about his ability to be Chelsea’s main striker, with rumors already circulating about potential replacements in the upcoming transfer window.
Murray’s commentary highlighted the importance of the second half of the season for Jackson, as he needs to improve his all-around game to secure his position as Chelsea’s No.9.
