Jackson

Page 1 of 1

posted on 21/4/24

Jackson was the biggest attacking threat on the pitch (including above Palmer), always at the heart of every good creative smart move we make in the attacking third. Never hid or looked overrawed by the occasion. Has all the tools. I'll never not have all the time in the world for him.

Sure, he missed chances but which striker doesn't miss costly chances. That freak Haaland has even started to squander a fair few (the most in the league). In fact If you look over the past decades you will find that most of the reknowed top strikers started-off inconsistent before later developing into efficient clinical goalscorers (Benzema is the most pertinent example that immediately springs to my mind).

Has all the hallmarks of a 20+ goalscorer, and even if you think he's not that. A very good supplementary option for others. Palmer doesn't get as many goals contribution without Jackson on the pitch, giving opposition defences hell...leading the line.

He definately is not a C/F thats for sure, hopefully the other geezer who is a C/F can come in sometime !
then it would be good to put Jackson on the wing and see what he does there.

He's just another Darwin Nunez. Works hard, makes good runs but has zero composure.

You're never going to win any of the major competitions with him as your main man. Same goes for Liverpool with Nunez. Especially after they lose Salah.

As a Utd fan I could only wish our striker Hojlund got half the chances Jackson gets. He feeds off scraps in comparison.

Hojlund hides in games. Stop making excuses for him.

Other than the most important one for a striker

I dunno what to do with him tbh. I wouldn't sell him, at worst he's a cracking backup to have, but we've seen this story before. How different is he from Werner (1st season) really? Another CF who was borderline world class except for inability to put the ball in a damn net.

We've seen at Chelsea that when a striker's problems are psychological, which this seems to be, we can't help them.

One thing he doesn't do is hide. He gives his all. He's just playing in a terrible side that looks lost.

Hojlund would score bag fulls for City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

More excuses. Strikers make there own chances if the service is crap. He has the physique and pace to go solo rather than wait for 5 yard tap ins. He needs to do more, be more selfish and put himself about.

On a par with Nunez as the biggest donkey in the league

On par with Drogba's first season, and he's 4 years younger.

I think that is being a tad disingenuous to Drogba tbf. He may not have had the best first season, but he always looked like a striker and he was still bringing others in to play, even if not scoring a hateful of goals.

Things like movement could be better with Højlund, though we have to remember he has a back issue which might have some effect, even if only a small one, on physicality and mobility. But he does put himself about.
