Chelsea fans demand one player is sold after shocking performance in Man City loss

Chelsea fans were furious with Nicolas Jackson in the wake of Manchester City's FA Cup victory over the Blues.

Days after having been knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Real Madrid, City claimed a crucial FA Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea to keep their hopes of a double alive.

Pep Guardiola's men scored a late goal through Bernardo Silva to claim a 1-0 and a place in the final, where they will face either Coventry or Manchester United.

However, Chelsea will rue the several missed chances they had to take the lead throughout the game.

The west Londoners' primary culprit was Jackson, who has been rash in front of goal all season.

The Senegal international has been so wasteful this term that according to the xGPhilosophy on X, one moment in which Jackson was through on goal, with just Stefan Ortega to beat, miraculously had an XG of 0.00.

And several Chelsea fans on X complained about Jackson's performance.

One person said: "Nicolas Jackson We need to kick him out of the club."

A second added: "The best strategy to stop Nicolas Jackson is to simply let him have a shot whenever he wants, because you know with absolute certainty that he won’t be scoring it."

A third said: "Nicolas Jackson should have had a hat trick but never even looked like scoring in any of the chances."

A fourth added: "Jackson is a very dull player, should be sold summer."

A sixth said: "Get Jackson out of my beloved club."

Jackson signed an eight-year contract with Chelsea last June, and after a promising pre-season has accumulated 10 league goals this term.

While that is a return comparable with Didier Drogba, Gianfranco Zola or Eden Hazard's first seasons at Chelsea, there have also been a spate of glaring misses and yellow cards.
