You'd never have guessed that he's leading in the non-penalty goals, with the way he's been talked about. Yes, one above Palmer' non-penalty total. (Good work by Madueke to selflessly set him up for the second goal, seismic moment of the match).
Two away from Tammy' total with three to go -

Not bad for a Centre-Forward in his first full season that apparently doesn't score goals (I predicted twenty goals in all competitions at the start of the season, may fall just short...four away from that total). Steady conversion rate.
Thankless task leading the line for Chelsea...
Dynamism, interchanging, running the channels, ability to carry the ball, incredible short-play, industry, and bringing others into play particularly strong...pure footballer - https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1787643791807057920/pu/vid/avc1/720x720/ldKOl8JXJKz2rXPg.mp4?tag=12
Rolls past markers easily and has them chasing shadows.
The coverage, depth, relentless drive Nico Jackson provides up the field is substantial (hallmarks of a complete Centre-Forward trajectory).
No striker in Nico' age bracket is matching or bettering his technical and physical output in and out of possession, the most cost-effective striker purchase.
The best compliment I can give Nico is he looks like he was educated at Cobham.
Bulletproof fitness to boot...despite opponents best efforts to "leave their foot in" attempting to harm the glorious nuisance to their defences, hasn't missed a single match through injury. Admirable.
Detractors will do well to remember that when labelling him with BS, bordering on bigoted narratives.
The so-called great Ivan Toney that some sections long for has never hit those heights, nor had better underlying metrics. 6 years Nico' senior! This is just the beginning.

Fools make disparaging remarks and take Nico Jackson for granted. No two ways about it.

It’s more about the ones he misses, his highlights reel has some howlers in it

This is a good description. He will have days where he is unplayable, but he is not a consistent goal scorer and misses some absolute shockers.
Toney would outscore Jackson with the same level of service

Jackson's a better player imo. Nunez is somewhat erratic, Jackson is actually quite consistent - he just bottles it.
If you took just some of Palmer's calmness & composure & gave it to Jackson, the difference in him would be enormous.
