Tony Cascarino warns of potential faith loss in Nicolas Jackson by Chelsea players
Tony Cascarino, a former player, expressed concerns over Nicolas Jackson’s performance, saying that his teammates may lose faith in him. Jackson wasted important opportunities in Chelsea’s recent FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, drawing criticism from both fans and experts.
Mudryk, another player under evaluation, struggled to make an impression, ending in a missed free-kick. Despite his little time on the pitch, Mudryk’s costly error increased Chelsea’s anger.
Cascarino noted Jackson’s failure to capitalize on important opportunities, warning that if he does not improve, his teammates may lose faith in his skills.
With opinions circling around Chelsea’s pursuit of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, there has been increasing concern about Jackson’s future as the club’s primary striker.
Cascarino stated in an interview: “Yeah, you have got to stay with him, you have got to give him a chance. What I would say, [Darwin] Nunez has got a similar problem, although his numbers are better. Timo Werner had that problem when he came over to Chelsea from Germany. He couldn’t buy a goal and he missed a lot of chances.
“He is, what, still 22, 23 now, Nicolas Jackson, he is still a very young man. He has got good qualities in his game, and that is stretching teams, pace, and getting chances. It’s a skill getting chances. He is going to have to be clinical because no manager or even his teammates will feel confident about him getting goals if you miss more than you are scoring. That is just fact.”
The prospect of a new No.9 like Osimhen suggests a potential shift in Chelsea’s attacking lineup for the upcoming season. As uncertainty looms over Jackson’s role, the pressure mounts for him to deliver in future matches to regain trust within the team.
