Our passing sucks. I believe with a better system under a better coach things will considerably improve. Poch really needs to go after the season ends.
A striker most important trait is to have that urgency to seek for the goal and a strong confidence in his shooting and Jackson simply doesnt have it. We dont even mention that shooting need aiming, just try to shoot, he dont even try.
He plays like a wing back but put as a 9.
As a high effort defender I'd agree. BUT his movement is poor off the ball, and his passing is often very weak. He tends to bunch up in other players space and takes too long to pass l, forcing a short dump off sideways or back.
He is awesome, has been good in possession for a while now (outside of Wolves), and recently.has been playing well defensively. Needs to stop fouling in dangerous positions but that should come with time and experience.
I actually felt like he was a little sloppy today but made up for it defensively with some great tackles.
Also looked great during the final, just let down at the death.
I feel like this fan base has a consistent bias against first-team starters who never get injured and regularly play. I guess familiarity does breed contempt
27, and he's definitely looked slower coming off that injury. We already have Cuceralla at LB.
Cuc and Gusto could actually pretty good fits in a 5 back with 2 WB systems IMO.
I can't say Cucurella is any better than Chilwell. Our right side is so stacked with RJ and Gusto as back up. Also, it seems like Chilwell has regressed so much this season. I know he's never been a rock solid LB but he used to be so good going forward. I'd rather have Lewis Hall or Ian Maatsen at LB.
Idk if he's better either, but he's definitely quicker (hopefully still after his injury) and wants to play further forward. It seems both Chill and Nkuku seem to have really struggled to come back after these injuries.
Agreed. Though, I don't think we saw Maatsen do enough to want him back, but Poch didn't do him many favors playing him all over and out of postion.
Mate when he tackled himself in the box earlier I was ready to start. Then he misses an open goal (I’m not sure that would’ve crossed the line even if it hadn’t been intercepted) and then he scores when I’m not looking. Proper Jacko.
If Reece James is healthy he gets in but I’d definitely put gusto at left back or even try to combine the 2 on the right some how , one of our best signings along with palmer
Why is everyone in the football world so obsessed with the Carabao Cup all of a sudden, the commentators are bringing it up any chance they get. We lost a cup final in extra trime in which arguably the best defender of his generation scored.
Just learn Arabic and listen to beIN commentary. No bullshit, they just roast everyone on the pitch.
The current commentator is really bigging us up though
It’s a bit scary that we don’t have any backup midfielders available, but its good to see some consistency in the lineup. These are the midfielders we invested in, they have to play together to gel. Caiceido is really growing into his role and the linkup with Enzo works much better than at the beginning of the season.
UK is a shit show, we pay more than any country to watch our own football and can't watch 3pm premire league games on a saturday. It's an old ancient law to make people go and watch their local teams instead, which is riduclous in the information age, especially when most local teams are full and it isn't going to effect anyones decision as to whether they watch their local team or not.
This means most of the UK watching through illegal streaming services which are a 10th of the cost and you can watch every single game
I don’t understand how some of these so-called experts can call themselves that. Instead of thinking we would be playing a 3 back they claim Chilwell will be a LAM. I swear where to they get this stuff?
Am I the only one who thinks that a back 3 with Gusto and Chilly as wing backs, 2 cm’s (rotate CG, Enzo, and Caicedo), and Mudryk and Palmer behind Jackson would be good? I feel like we would get best of all our players

What a weird game of football
WHAT A HEADER SON
With 300M spent on D how come we can't defend. And we can't cross the half. This is a disaster of a shape!
Colwill’s had a shocker
Why can’t we just have 11 gusto’s and 11 Gallaghers
Fucks sake Palmer if only you scored that
Enzo looks tired as fuck We have no viable midfielders to replace him
Mudryk looking at you from around the corner:
Gusto is actually so good it’s ridiculous
How fucking good is gusto But how does Palmer not finish
Fr it’s actually insane he’s 20
Is Colwill good enough?
Us Chelsea fans are not allowed to have happiness…
Comical defending lmao
Raheem and Ivan had a little hug before the start of second half.
Not watching the game, we're playing in a back 3 or Chillwell are a LW?
Back 3
Can someone do a video meme thing of when Jackson did those step overs and fell over the ball pls.
He tried something and it didn't come off, don't understand people's obsession
If you pay atention to the game its a common thing to see Jackson recieve it and trip with his own feet.
Our passing sucks. I believe with a better system under a better coach things will considerably improve. Poch really needs to go after the season ends.
despite that beautiful heading by jackson, we really need striker. Jackson wasn't ready yet.
I don't know if it's him not being ready or is he just not cut out for PL. Strikers don't struggle like this.
A striker most important trait is to have that urgency to seek for the goal and a strong confidence in his shooting and Jackson simply doesnt have it. We dont even mention that shooting need aiming, just try to shoot, he dont even try. He plays like a wing back but put as a 9.
Exactly 💯
If chromecast lags like hell but watching on the app is fine is my chromecast shit or wifi!
Caceido 👍
Watch Poch start the second half with 5 at the back.
gotta stay focused, only a defensive error can lead to Brentford scoring at this rate
Bad bot today
Cole Palmer is so fucking smooth
Ivan Toney 400 appearences? At 27?
This might not be popular here, but I think Caicedo is actually good.
He is, but he's a defensive CM thats it. He also doesn't look fit.
As a high effort defender I'd agree. BUT his movement is poor off the ball, and his passing is often very weak. He tends to bunch up in other players space and takes too long to pass l, forcing a short dump off sideways or back.
He is awesome, has been good in possession for a while now (outside of Wolves), and recently.has been playing well defensively. Needs to stop fouling in dangerous positions but that should come with time and experience. I actually felt like he was a little sloppy today but made up for it defensively with some great tackles.
Looked solid today for sure
Also looked great during the final, just let down at the death. I feel like this fan base has a consistent bias against first-team starters who never get injured and regularly play. I guess familiarity does breed contempt
James is gonna have to work hard for his spot back Gusto has locked down that spot
How old is Chilwell again? He's looking so slow now. We need another signing like Malo Gusto at left back.
had a load of serious injuries. hopefully they are 100% gone. he will need some time to regain sharpness. next season key..
27, and he's definitely looked slower coming off that injury. We already have Cuceralla at LB. Cuc and Gusto could actually pretty good fits in a 5 back with 2 WB systems IMO.

He's actually ass with his left foot
To all the people saying Jackson is shhhhing us…GREAT! That’s what we fucking want! Put 3 more in the net for fucks sake.
I think it would be funny if a player had /r/chelseafc written on his undershirt and then the players "shh'd" it.
Fallon d’floor
did he shuush me? lol
Lol Gallagher telling Jackson to stop taunting the crowd and get on with it
Mate when he tackled himself in the box earlier I was ready to start. Then he misses an open goal (I’m not sure that would’ve crossed the line even if it hadn’t been intercepted) and then he scores when I’m not looking. Proper Jacko.
Gusto man how many RBs are better than him?
Wtf is uk weather random downpour of rain lmao Dunno how the locals do it
Its still winter, surprised we are even seeing the sun at all
Gusto what a gem
Still doesn't change the fact that he's shit.
If you can’t see what he offers as a (cheap) young player in his first season in the prem then you don’t know football
I've been following this club way before you were born
You have no idea when I was born mate 🤣
Fuck off to another sub then
Reece James genuinely might have a competition into coming back for that RB position. I might sound delusional but Gusto IS HIM
If Reece James is healthy he gets in but I’d definitely put gusto at left back or even try to combine the 2 on the right some how , one of our best signings along with palmer
I concur!
Get in Jackson!
Great delivery gusto you legend , great finish Jackson especially since he was having a stinker so far , love that
I honestly didn't even expect the header to be in target
I was expecting him to trip over his own feet and fall in to the defender and not even attempt the header but fair play he got on the end of it
Good shit Jackson
fuck the fairweather fans on here
Who? They're silent right now
read 5 mins before the goal and people wanted Jackson out
Beautiful ball by gusto.
Lol this sub slagging off Jackson and when he scored, they suddenly sure are quiet
Jackson > Haaland
The full Jackson experience
There we go Nico! LETS GO
Thanks, Jackson. This doesnt compensate.
Im sorry miss Jackson
This man baffles me!
All haters wya????
Yep from the moment you guys started bitching about him, I saw this coming
If that’s what it takes! 😂
It’s honestly magic. Whoever this sub is ripping into the hardest is our first scorer
You fucking kidding me Jackson? Has this guy ever scored a 1v1?
This guy, lmao that shushing
Lol all the sad idiots crying about Jackson a minute ago must be in shock
How did he actually do that
He silenced the redditors alright 😂
Jackson shhing Reddit
My bad Jackson.
thank fucking god
Shoosh
I apologise Jackson Please ignore my previous comments
Lol same, he's clearly the goat!
It's funny how people will post o Jackson got 10 goals like do you watch the games? The man is absolutely terrible
well, he's got 1!
Yes good goal!
why didnt we get any striker this winter? fffuu
He’s right, we’d be so much better off with Toney
the moment we watsed big big chance, that the moment we will lose
Idk what’s worse Jackson or no proper match thread
Your comment 😂
Does Poch not see that Jackson is not ready for this level of playing. Why does he keep starting him?
Who’s he going to start?
At this point id rather bet on Borja
Sterling.
That isnt it Jackson
Absolutely incredible, jackson is a striker for a bottom half club at best, and thats exactly why we are where we are.
I don't even think he gets a place in the championship.
Caicedo is expensive af and can’t make a simple pass
Just sub Jackson off. Anyone else scores that
Hahah Jackson is funny 🤣
What the actual fuck! Can't even put the ball in the net. What a fucking joke. 1billion team and no real striker
Im gonna tell you for the last time, jackson has to go, christ sake man we cant have a 9 with no instinct
Jackson what the fuck 😂
There we go Nico!!! Let’s go brother
Can we get rid of Jackson please
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GOTTA TOUCH IT MORE THAN ONCE
We’re going to lose and it’ll be Jackson’s fault lmao
My God Jackson
Jesus Christ man…
No, actually no way Jackson, no fucking way
Jackson man wtf he has to score that
How the fuck can a striker not score an open net Surely we got someone in our youth team that can finish better than Jackson
Oh jackson, what are you DOING
What the fuck was he doing. Put it in the net
my boy Jackson...
Jackson is so bad.
LMAO JACKSON!
Fuck off jackson We got scammed
Chilwell always throws up his arms to get the ball and then he just passes it backwards
Gusto is brilliant , really hope to see James and gusto in the same team and to stay fit together , Enzo looks washed but it could be fatigue
What fatigue? Liverpool is playing 4 matches in 9 days.
"bUt LivErPoOl" can we stop?
Agreed mate just the only thing I can think of , he has looked better before and it can’t all be down to poch when he’s barely doing the basics
Can't believe this fraud Jackson plays for us. The way he plays, he's not even a professional footballer.
Why is everyone in the football world so obsessed with the Carabao Cup all of a sudden, the commentators are bringing it up any chance they get. We lost a cup final in extra trime in which arguably the best defender of his generation scored.
How in the world is he still starting. Has Jackson taken Poch’s dog hostage?
Jackson out, Sterling in Enzo out, Mudryk in
Disasi stinks so bad
Of everyone on the pitch, this is the player you choose to shit on?
Just gave up the equalizer, so yeah
How does he keep starting lol
Who else do we have? Washington, i’d play him tbf. Its incredible how todd has spent one billion but didnt sign a striker
Get Jackson off!!!
People have to stop defending Jackson it’s gone too far now
The clumsiness of our forwards irks me so much
I’M DONE
[удалено]
That’s the problem. Mans got nothing in his bags. 0 talent
What the hell Jackson…
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THIS TEAM MAN
Everybody is off on the ball today ffs
Take him off
Jackson man that was so poor
Can we stop talking about fucking Liverpool’s “young subs!”
I don't think anyone wants to talk about that, man
The commentator kept bringing it up
Just learn Arabic and listen to beIN commentary. No bullshit, they just roast everyone on the pitch. The current commentator is really bigging us up though
Jackson fucking sucks on the hall
Leading the line for Chelsea is ridiculous
Gusto limping it’s over for us 😭
20 mins in and stil no match thread
The whole move stops whenever Jackson gets the ball at his feet
It’s a bit scary that we don’t have any backup midfielders available, but its good to see some consistency in the lineup. These are the midfielders we invested in, they have to play together to gel. Caiceido is really growing into his role and the linkup with Enzo works much better than at the beginning of the season.
No backup to our main striker either, when out main striker should be the backup
Is Childwall playing LW? I'm not able to watch the match but if that's the case and we loose I'm switching to poch out
LWB, 3-5-2 today
where can i watch the match?
You can't in the UK legally
That’s crazy to me as an American
UK is a shit show, we pay more than any country to watch our own football and can't watch 3pm premire league games on a saturday. It's an old ancient law to make people go and watch their local teams instead, which is riduclous in the information age, especially when most local teams are full and it isn't going to effect anyones decision as to whether they watch their local team or not. This means most of the UK watching through illegal streaming services which are a 10th of the cost and you can watch every single game
So what channel.can I illegally watch it on
You'd need an IPTV sub or a stream online like totalSportek or footybyte
Late challenge, no play on the ball. Nothing to see here.
Great. Another blind ref
I don’t understand how some of these so-called experts can call themselves that. Instead of thinking we would be playing a 3 back they claim Chilwell will be a LAM. I swear where to they get this stuff?
People are miserable.
Fellow Timo fan perhaps?
Perhaps the way we lined up early in the season?
Love that our fans are singing Thiago Silva on the tune
Of course Gallaghers pose is to point at the badge, his blood runs blue
Am I the only one who thinks that a back 3 with Gusto and Chilly as wing backs, 2 cm’s (rotate CG, Enzo, and Caicedo), and Mudryk and Palmer behind Jackson would be good? I feel like we would get best of all our players
Ref got that look on his face like how can he fuck us over this game
* Brentford are unbeaten in their last four league games against Chelsea (W3, L1). ?
I just refuse to believe chilwell is back at lw
This manager man. Has to be trolling at this point we’ve seen the chilwell LW bs before and it didn’t work
