Reddish-Blue 2,505 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 26 minutes ago, Thor said: Isak missed a bunch of sitters the last Newcastle game I watched a few games back. Literally 2 surefire goals, but no one brings it up because they kept feeding him the ball and he got one to go. Thats how it is for most strikers out there, if you don't score goals, you have to accept the criticism. 27 minutes ago, Thor said: The reality is, the tide of the game is not lost up front, but in the middle That's partly true and mainly due to Lavia not being available...which has meant way more minutes for Enzo-Caicedo to handle. It really is a shame that we lost Kante and Kovacic, all that midfield experience gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,908 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 What we need is to do with Jackson what Pep has done with their striker situation. They have Haaland as their first choice #9 and had Julian Alvarez who they’re now finally replacing with Marmoush as the backup option. Nico needs to be our Alvarez/Marmoush. Someone who still gets lots of minutes but isn’t someone we depend solely on as our primary goal scorer because he’s not elite. Obviously we ain’t gonna get an alien like Haaland but there are absolutely elite level finishers out there if we pay the money. We’ve been willing to pay 100m+ for midfielders so I don’t see why our board are so blind to the fact that we may need to do so for a match winning goal scorer. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico needs to be our Alvarez/Marmoush Alvarez was one of the better young strikers out there, part of the reason why he pushed for the move to Spain instead of hanging around as 2nd to Haaland. Not sure if Nico could play that sort of role, seems like he's the type that needs to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reckon they miss Alvarez a lot more than they expected to. The hard work Jackson puts in esp in pressing high would also be missed. Jackson is often the only player pressing high, which is just wrong as a team. Edited January 17 by robsblubot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger problem is when he did the injury Enzo kept him on for another 30-40 mins or so plus half time. It was clear when he did it that he had a problem with his hamstring. A responsible manager would've taken him off straight away. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 No sympathy what so ever because we are going to suffer more now and we all seen this coming. He's fucking shite but he offers more than Nkunku and the hurt is going to be real because we are penny pinching cunts. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Even if Jackson is the Maresca’s perfect forward, he needs some kind of reliable backup or competition in the striking department. Nkunku had downed tools. We need someone either with plenty of experience like Giroud, or a proven talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Remember all those stories we used to hear about Lampard and Drogba staying late after training sessions., simply to work on their shooting with both left foot and right foot? Yeah, I don't think Jackson does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'm just not having him one bit as a striker that will improve himself, us or fire over 25 goals a season.

Said in another thread, if Petro & Sancho are starting every week for us next season we are doomed. Throw this guy in on top also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
