If he carries on improving like this, we will have a real bargain on our hands. Didn’t he play wide in Spain as well. He’s quietly improving, for sure, and dare I say looking quite an exciting young player. Credit where it’s due, though I’m not sure if @Mark Kelly will put it down to coaching…or despite it! 🤣🤣💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the most we can lay on Pochettino is that the side all do seem to want to play, want to do well and like each other , we see it in the post match interviews like yesterdays where Chuk said that Palmer had told him , if you get on I will assist a goal for you . There is a spirit of togetherness. I feel I must clarify I don't dislike Pochettino , I just wish he was better , in this instance I'd say it was 70% Jackson and 30% Pochettino I don't see how someone who can't organise the defense , plays players out of position , can't coach them to take or defend set pieces makes substitutions that baffle and has no tactical acumen that I can see can suddenly be great at getting the best out of people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him gone as soon as a new BETTER coach can be found...that to my mind is the real problem Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly what you disagree with....not an issue as I value your viewpoint but not sure what to respond to. The Squad ? Todd & Co ? The coach?...I often try too hard to be fair but like an alternative viewpoint from sensible voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed - wrongly - that you were advocating a time-lord as the solution to our problems, @chara. Personally, I’m confused by Poch’s weird substitutions, but otherwise he might be the right managed for us in the short to medium term. Certainly this bunch of overpaid primadonna youths seem to be starting to coalesce into a team, so he’s not totally failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha,,a Time Lord?...not the worst idea. .especially if one could alter time and bring us back the likes of Ossie Zola and too many others to dare to mention without wet eyes! Reluctantly I agree with the short to medium term view,,not endorse it so much as being pragmatic...as ever any change MUST be an upgrade and not a punt on yet another "name". That's the rub...not totally failing but I don't think any of us really believe he can lead us out of the wilderness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who, and also the fact there's going to be several good jobs available come the summer, with generally more popping up as the season concludes. Competition to sign the more attractive options will be high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Thinking about it, I would go further. If there is no candidate of sufficient quality available with a recent record of successfully managing a squad in a comparable league who wants to join, then I would stick with Poch because he would be the best option available. I don't want another Potter, AVB, or, I hate to say it, SFL. Just because someone has done well in the Championship, or with a club with limited means or is 'liked' by news and TV pundits, does not make them a good choice for Chelsea. If I were in charge, I would already have feelers out and be talking in private to agents with a view to assessing alternatives (without detriment to the current incumbent). Fortunately, I think they do this anyway. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chukwuemeka is also a decent player. Madueke also a good little player. Rest of these clowns need a shift down to Championship level along with a complete rebuild.

Bison Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Palmer getting all the praise (and rightly so btw) but special mention to Jackson. Thought he was amazing last night. If he can learn how to strike the ball cleanly more often than not we have potentially one of the best forwards around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still quite raw, but with some proper coaching, I think he'll be a real handful. Can see him playing off a target man too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Jackson playing off the left with a target man through the middle would be an excellent option for certain games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's with a target man or with a more Gudjohnsen-type, i'm not quite sure though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jackson goes on to achieve half of what the great man did then he will prove to be a bargain, although he already is in my book. He averages a goal contribution every other game in the league and across all competitions. £35m for a 22 year old striker who scores or assists every other game, at the highest level, in his first season in a new country is ridiculous. Funny how we are always crying out for this exact type of signing and when we do it people moan. Crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
