They both don't fit. Palmer plays behind the forward and offers more... Felix is just pointless. He'll give the ball away and do stupid things more than any positive he might bring.
@@hydra8612 last couple of games, he's been off, but he's been Chelsea's best player this season. You'd be completely daft to leave him out unless he's injured or unfit.

@@hydra8612you know nothing about football if you say palmer isnt a 10. It's clear hes a a very technically gifted player. Just know if he plays in the wing in this maresca system he wont do anything this season because gusto doesn't overlap in this maresca system. As for nkunku I like him very good player but felix is very overrated my goodness. Very lazy player and plays for himself, misses glaring chances against minnows like Noah and was terrible against Newcastle. That guy was just an unnecessary signing considering estevao and paez would come next season.
I don't comment often, however I would be devastated if Nkunku left. I really fear this will be another massive Chelsea mistake - like KDB / Salah. Nkunku is an incredible player and we will regret letting him go.
The problem with Nkunku is that he is world class. De Bruyne and Salah were just prospects when they left Chelsea so letting Nkunku go would be an even bigger mistake.
@@norbertkando7574 He hasn't been able to show that yet at Chelsea with the unfortunate injury. I really believe he could tear the Premier League up in the right position, it's a shame if we lose him.
Short term memory syndrome. We already tried that and it was a disaster. Palmer is very average on the right. We have already established Nkunku doesn't fit this team and we have to accept that because he isn't a real number 10, nor a true winger or true striker
@@aloukeita1095 Nkunku will perform well as a 10 and play in the way palmer used to before getting moved to the left. For defensive balance, the right sided fullback wouldn't have to invert
@@aloukeita1095palmer never had an average game as a right winger,He was average against Man City,the only game he played there this season. We didn't play well. Which we have done in all big games with Palmer as a 10 and disappeared. Palmer scored lots of goals from the Right wing last season,only the last 5 games he played as a 10. Our best game away last season to a decent opponent was Brighton away in May, Nkunku was 10,Palmer Right wing. Palmer and Nkunku controlled the game and both scored to win us 2-1
But guys truly speaking Nkunku doesn't deserve to be on B team I do believe if he was playing against Liverpool,man u and Arsenal we were going to be more threat
We played against noah and nkunku was almost invincible till he played the 9, if nkunku cant make is presence felt against them why should he even be considered Dont baby him,
@__meilleur the conference league is minutes, the carabao cup=minutes Brother we played with two 10s against Noah and you barely noticed nkunku playing But everyone wants him to play more, why?, I won't judge him yet but nkunku is on fraud watch imo
Nkunku will leave, i cant blame him, he wants minutes... but what i will say is the lads been very professional about it, he has played, he hasnt moaned or publicly angled for a move. Wish him every success, sadly didnt work out for him with us.
Play nkuku with neto,palmer and if he doesn't perform then we can complain but playing him with renato and dewsbury and expecting miracle is laughable@@PesMLRyanGiggs
It's easy to get nkunku into the team, all you have to do is play with Neto-nkunku-palmer and the one who will make the difference will be James, because if you don't use this reversed full-back system, all James has to do is always face the runs in attack and defence. And when James is in attack, he'll slide Palmer into half-space with Nkunku, which will simply give Neto-nkunku-palmer-James and put Madueke on the bench.
Nkunku is one those chelsea player who deserves game time...Maresca needs to be fair, when palmer having a quiet game, sub him and give others a chance
You think Samu would have played ahead of Jackson too? Maresca inexperience is costing us vital points let’s be honest. We had Drogba anelka and Torres all together and there was no issue. Jackson and Palmer last two games was a stinker. Let him take advantage of our squad depth and utilize all the great potential
This 👆 We should be able to have multiple potentially world class players vying for the same position. We’ve had that situation in the past, and we have it in other positions on the pitch. Maresca needs to be a bit cleverer about keeping people happy. We sell Nkunku, Jackson is out for 6 months - then what?! I like Guiu, but having him as the only person who can lead the line for the rest of the season would not be a good situation to be in. If we have to sell Nkunku as the player is pushing for it, we need to sign a replacement.
Chelsea is too stacked. You need to loan out plays. QUALITY PLAYERS ON LOAN AND in coming. Midfield stacked with Santos on loan and Messinho coming to Chelsea. Loan Mudryk and Madu
Maresca needs to start Felix as well. The guy can turn out a whole match but I have not seen Felix to come out even from the bench which is quite concerning for his future . Guys like madueke should be benched for their behaviour if madueke was at Felixs place then imagine what would the situation would have been.
@@stephan946 yeah true our main problem is everyone is marking palmer out at the 10 so I think he should be on the right and cut in then have Neto or Sancho on the left with nkunku at cam would mean we can also get Jackson in better positions
@DaBestKillaDBK; I agree with you. Palmer posted mad numbers in goals and assists last season playing on the right. Why can't Palmer start on the right and drift into the middle at times, while Nkunku plays as a 10/support striker (which is his preferred position). Nkunku MUST NOT be allowed to leave.
It will be most stupid thing to do sell Nkunku to Man.Utd . What if we get injuries in winter period and we need player like him to play every game????? Don’t do that ! 💙COYB !
Having Nkunku and Felix on the bench with no plan is embarrassing. Then we went and added Sancho. These owners build a squad like a 12 year old on a PlayStation
Nkunku was bought to fit Pochs system but ended up getting injured all last season so its not really scattergun at all as the signing was made for a specific purpose
I feel like the recent drop off is down to Maresca's stubbornness. I think the two teams for two competitions was a fine idea, but the fact of the matter is that you need different players for different matches. Teams don't always give us space to run in behind them, so Jackson won't always be effective. Some teams have quality midfielders that can deal with Palmer, so moving him out to the wing on occasion so he can drive in from the wings is a decent option. Sometimes, we need our fullbacks to stay wide and provide overlaps for our wings instead of inverting. The problem is that Maresca doesn't seem to want to experiment too much, which is a positive in that the team is sticking to a single plan and learning it more and more, but it also means that any team that knows how to counter our style of play will be fully prepared when they face us.
I remember last season he and Jackson had some good link ups. This year he has also been playing decent, we should try our best to integrate him and Joa Felix in the premier league squad. Listen from what I understand with our new manager you have to play your way to be apart of the supposedly A team and I can’t count atleast 1 a team player that can give way for both Nkunku and Joa.
The team and it’s balance is more important than any one player. If you are going to invert your right back ( Gusto), we should be playing someone in the ‘10’ who is more suited to moving and playing in the left channel ( Nkunku/ Felix). If you invert your left back ( Cucurella ) you play someone who is more suited to playing the ’10’ role more from the right channel ( Palmer ). We’ve seen Palmer playing more on the ‘left’ side of the 10 role recently and, in my opinion, been less effective than when Cucurella was inverting, enabling Palmer to occupy the right channel.
We are not asking the manager to drop Palmer, sub him in the 65/70th minute, give Felix opportunity to play. What does he need to do b4 he can play? So far in the cup games he has been excellent
What you talking about. It's his position. And ironically the exact same place that Enzo put him when he was at City and the reason he became the player he is. Or atleast according to Palmer.
Interesting. As a Manchester United fan I have to say that whilst Mata wasn't a failure, he was not the player that he was for 2 seasons in Chelsea - not by quite a long way.
Maresca needs to start rotating our attack more, not the whole team, but 1 player every couple of games in the Prem. Hopefully he starts doing that when the Conference League league stage ends
I’d really like to see us try a caicedo nkunku and palmer mid with palmer and nkunku being up there instead of gusto getting so far forward and sitting back more with caicedo. It’s probably a stupid idea but gusto doesn’t do much up there and if we had someone like nkunku in them spaces instead it would do a lot more. Palmer is pretty much free roam around everywhere so I don’t think it would be too overloaded
I massively hope Nkunku can get rotated in the Prem in the new year. I hope Enzo can find a spot for him in the team without it affected the defensive structure.
The coach can manage this; he can start Nkunku in some matches in premier league or have discussion with him according to his observations he find out that Nkunku does well when he comes from the bench but he should start him earlier not when there is nothing to play for like the match against Arsenal
There’s no point to debate Nkunku must be patient because he was injured for majority of last season so it’s not anyone’s fault that he can’t get into the team.. so if the team and Maresca can work hard and we get into the Champions league next season Nkunku must surely have good and quality game time
The disrespect that Enzo is showing some of our players like Nkunku by not giving them more time on the pitch in the PL is disgusting and I hate to say it but not giving our other attackers more minutes while stubbornly sticking with the likes of Sanchez and Madueke in the starting line up is how I start to hate watch my team hoping we lose and he changes his mind if it’s not working and I hate feeling this way
It's strange how he hasn't started Nkunku on the left. If Guiu starts performing I think he will have confidence to have him as back up for Jackson. Nkunku Palmer Neto link up is flipping dangerous IMO.
Sorry George you keep wanting to keep Jackson in the team, he needs to be benched, what if Nkunku is finally given a chance And scores a hatrick? Would you want him dropped?
Listen mate the rumours will always happen. Remember we have many games and guess what the manager is managing the squad. Yes it would be nice to see Nkunku start in the EPL but it also would be nice to see Jackson and even Palmer to start in UECL see what I did there. Don't believe anything until you hear from the person directly.
Happy Birthday to Christopher Nkunku , i dont want him to leave but he has to do whats best for him and getting no starts in the prem isn't best for him.
If he leaves I don’t think it will be until next summer. I wouldn’t like to see him go but would understand if he did. His best position is behind a the number 9 and any game time he does get is number 9 so we aren’t really seeing the best of him either. He needs a bit of luck and more minutes to actually be given the chance to shine in the Prem for Chelsea.
I'd hate so much to see him leave, and I would absolutely be fuming if he goes to Manchester United. Hopefully, he'll have money minutes, so he can show what he is capable of. I think the best of his career could be here, if he only gets more opportunities.
I want to see below lineup in coming matches. Caicedo-lavia combo for high intense matches. If low block, nkunku upfront and felix in 10. Jackson Neto nkunku palmer Enzo caicedo Cucu levi fofana james Any GK
i feel like nxt season it might be easier even with all these big names coming in because even if you don't play in the prem tht weekend, you'll probably get to play in the champions league. Except for the defense, the second string defense won't play in the champions league but all the attacking and midfield players can
Maresca should try to change the system to fit nkunku jackson palmer together. Also I feel like jackson form may drop. And some matches pal.mer can be subbed off
The thing with the players in the B team, if we do get CL next season, those players will get even less playing time Yes they are doing really well in the Conference, Most of them wont play in the CL, there will be more players wanting to leave.
Nkunku has been injured for almost 2 seasons and he cannot get back to his best form until now, he had his chance to prove himself while facing a decent opponent (Newcastle) in the Cabaro cup but he wasted lots of chances at that game. So, what's the excuse of being reluctant to be a part of the Conference league team?
Maybe bc he barely gets prem playing time, you’re bitching about Newcastle but we wouldn’t be 3rd if he didn’t win the Bournmouth game. Speaking this idiotically knowing his playing time is abysmal means you’re disingenuous.
@@SWAVOURKID yeah, with the same concept of yours, if not because Jackson's goals, we wouldn't be 3rd. Clearly Jackson has bigger tactical value than Nkk as a striker.
@@johnnvodka Why are mentioning Jackson, the topic is about not being able to properly utilize a top goal scorer. Obviously the less intelligent like to mention other things that blatantly go off topic bc their point was soundly defeated. Also no Jackson has never won us a game, he contributed in wins that’s much different than being the sole reason your team picked up points.
@@SWAVOURKID ya, im sure u look extraordinary intelligent! But u cannot c the true value of NJ in Enzo’s tactics. Scoring goals is important for strikers but not the only aspect to rate strikers, like holding the ball upfront and serving as a pivot which Nkk cannot do it based on his performance. If not dropping Nj, who do u suggest to drop and replace with Nkk?
To lose Nkunku would be the first mistake. To sell him to a direct rival, *again* would be an even bigger mistake. I'm so fed up with this sh*t management.
This might not be good stuff. He has played 3-5 minutes in end of games, let him have fair opportunity and play him for 2-3 games straight in opening and why not in palmers place, palmer has been total shit for few games
Not about getting into the starting 11 but they SHOULD BE getting more minutes in the second half of most games to prove their credentials. They both didn't play 1 full season like Jackson and Palmer so it is on Maresca's to give them more ACTUAL minutes instead of putting them into the B team
Enzo must reconsider certain players who deserve minutes in the first team I said palmer was injured, that left Enzo with two better options in Nkunku and Jao. I love palmer whole day long but sometimes palmer doesn't set up for big games bring Nkunku on simple.
For me ooo, the fault is with Enzo Merascer because if you look at Liverpool FC for instance, they have Gakpo and Nunes, Slot try to rotate them to keep them happy, if Jackson qualify for Nation's Cup, who will he use I guess is Christopher, try and give him some start in the premier league so he can as well prove himself and feel the trust of the manager because if Chelsea lose him, they will still go find another striker to support Jackson who might still face the same issue that Christopher is facing right now except he is an average or kids, if you want to win matches and trophy you must try and have world class players almost two in every position in my opinion
Maresca is showing his inexperience in coaching , why can't he give Nkunku 15, 20 or 25 minutes each match......... Sometimes , you can even start him, plays for 60minutes , then bring in Jackson for the remaining 30 minutes ..... Each of them will work harder to get better ....... What made Didier Drogba the best Chelsea striker for now , was bcos he never played as the only striker....... since he joined Chelsea There was Eidur Gufjohnsen, Hernan Crespo , Andre Shevchenko , Nicholas Anelka , Alvaro Morata , Diego Costa etc......he played with all these strikers It made him to work harder ......and he became the best among the rest. Nicholas Jackson is still too raw to be the only Chelsea striker (someone that can't perform without the influence of Cole Palmer behind him)....... Meanwhile , Christopher Nkunku is a confirmed finisher (a real fox in the box) . He absolutely deserves more game time ...... I will be very unhappy, if Chelsea sell him this January , bcos when the league becomes tougher by March/April......then you need someone like Nkunku in your team .
It would have been easier if Enzo knows how to substitute well because even though Jackson is not performing well and even Cole Palmer but he still leave them on when you have players like unkunku and Felix are on the bench and for me that is not right in perspective
Nkunku is a good player but how long can he consistently stay fit. I genuinely believe he’s being unreasonable to think he’s gonna get given a chance in the first team every week when he hasn’t even been fit that long and hasn’t proved that he will do!
Also I like Felix, but he is not a Chelsea player, he just doesn’t fit And Nkunku is better and can do pretty much the same if it came to a switch of starting players
Just watch Chelsea completely mess things up when things are going well, nkunku wants out Felix wants out, Josh is going, I'm not surprised though playing Jackson disasi ahead of them
just putting this here ; Chelsea with enzo fernandes : it's 7G, 4wins 2draws and 1 loss with 17 goal scored and 7 goals conceded with 2 cleansheet Chelsea with lavia : it's 4G, 1win 2draws and 1 loss with 4 goals scored and 4 goals conceded no cleanshit
We all agree that Palmer is undroppable and he is great as the 10. But, damn, is it really impossible to just try out Nkunku as the 10 with Palmer back on the RW and Jackson as the 9?? Give it a go for a few games. Play your best players. Nkunku deserves more than 10-20 cameos.
Nkunku deserves way more minutes than he is getting. Both him and Felix are underappreciated by Maresca for some reason.
They both don't fit. Palmer plays behind the forward and offers more... Felix is just pointless. He'll give the ball away and do stupid things more than any positive he might bring.

If he leaves us and goes to a prem team, we gonna regret it. If he goes smw else, I wouldn't mind coz when we get gyokeres, he ain't playing at all
I remember last season he and Jackson had some good link ups. This year he has also been playing decent, we should try our best to integrate him and Joa Felix in the premier league squad. Listen from what I understand with our new manager you have to play your way to be apart of the supposedly A team and I can’t count atleast 1 a team player that can give way for both Nkunku and Joa.
The team and it’s balance is more important than any one player.
If you are going to invert your right back ( Gusto), we should be playing someone in the ‘10’ who is more suited to moving and playing in the left channel ( Nkunku/ Felix). If you invert your left back ( Cucurella ) you play someone who is more suited to playing the ’10’ role more from the right channel ( Palmer ).
We’ve seen Palmer playing more on the ‘left’ side of the 10 role recently and, in my opinion, been less effective than when Cucurella was inverting, enabling Palmer to occupy the right channel.
We are not asking the manager to drop Palmer, sub him in the 65/70th minute, give Felix opportunity to play. What does he need to do b4 he can play? So far in the cup games he has been excellent
If he's leaving fine. But if they sell him to united, i will get furious. Always strengthen rivals.
We need to see nkunku cam and palmer right, even though its not Palmers best position he still balled out their last season so it's worth a shot.
What you talking about. It's his position. And ironically the exact same place that Enzo put him when he was at City and the reason he became the player he is. Or atleast according to Palmer.
Interesting. As a Manchester United fan I have to say that whilst Mata wasn't a failure, he was not the player that he was for 2 seasons in Chelsea - not by quite a long way.
Maresca needs to start rotating our attack more, not the whole team, but 1 player every couple of games in the Prem. Hopefully he starts doing that when the Conference League league stage ends
Nkuku is one of the great players if trusted
GB. How can you say Spurts away is "tricky fixture"? 3 point lane is 3 point lane, whatever they rename it.
I’d really like to see us try a caicedo nkunku and palmer mid with palmer and nkunku being up there instead of gusto getting so far forward and sitting back more with caicedo. It’s probably a stupid idea but gusto doesn’t do much up there and if we had someone like nkunku in them spaces instead it would do a lot more. Palmer is pretty much free roam around everywhere so I don’t think it would be too overloaded
There is no need to lose Nkunku especially to mu Maresca must gives him time in pl games
I massively hope Nkunku can get rotated in the Prem in the new year. I hope Enzo can find a spot for him in the team without it affected the defensive structure.
Happy Birthday, Nkunku, please dont't keave.
The coach can manage this; he can start Nkunku in some matches in premier league or have discussion with him according to his observations he find out that Nkunku does well when he comes from the bench but he should start him earlier not when there is nothing to play for like the match against Arsenal
There’s no point to debate Nkunku must be patient because he was injured for majority of last season so it’s not anyone’s fault that he can’t get into the team.. so if the team and Maresca can work hard and we get into the Champions league next season Nkunku must surely have good and quality game time
yes
The disrespect that Enzo is showing some of our players like Nkunku by not giving them more time on the pitch in the PL is disgusting and I hate to say it but not giving our other attackers more minutes while stubbornly sticking with the likes of Sanchez and Madueke in the starting line up is how I start to hate watch my team hoping we lose and he changes his mind if it’s not working and I hate feeling this way
It's strange how he hasn't started Nkunku on the left. If Guiu starts performing I think he will have confidence to have him as back up for Jackson.
Nkunku Palmer Neto link up is flipping dangerous IMO.
Nkunku is a very very good 10 amd good good goal scorer
Full form Nkunk is a world beater. If he has to leave, I'll respect it. But PLEASE not to a Prem Team
Sorry George you keep wanting to keep Jackson in the team, he needs to be benched, what if Nkunku is finally given a chance And scores a hatrick? Would you want him dropped?
Listen mate the rumours will always happen. Remember we have many games and guess what the manager is managing the squad. Yes it would be nice to see Nkunku start in the EPL but it also would be nice to see Jackson and even Palmer to start in UECL see what I did there. Don't believe anything until you hear from the person directly.
Happy Birthday to Christopher Nkunku , i dont want him to leave but he has to do whats best for him and getting no starts in the prem isn't best for him.
If he leaves I don’t think it will be until next summer. I wouldn’t like to see him go but would understand if he did. His best position is behind a the number 9 and any game time he does get is number 9 so we aren’t really seeing the best of him either. He needs a bit of luck and more minutes to actually be given the chance to shine in the Prem for Chelsea.
I'd hate so much to see him leave, and I would absolutely be fuming if he goes to Manchester United. Hopefully, he'll have money minutes, so he can show what he is capable of. I think the best of his career could be here, if he only gets more opportunities.
I want to see below lineup in coming matches. Caicedo-lavia combo for high intense matches. If low block, nkunku upfront and felix in 10.
Jackson
Neto nkunku palmer
Enzo caicedo
Cucu levi fofana james
Any GK
i feel like nxt season it might be easier even with all these big names coming in because even if you don't play in the prem tht weekend, you'll probably get to play in the champions league. Except for the defense, the second string defense won't play in the champions league but all the attacking and midfield players can
Maresca should try to change the system to fit nkunku jackson palmer together. Also I feel like jackson form may drop. And some matches pal.mer can be subbed off
Nkunku competition has made Jackson to improve
I find it difficult to understand the reason why Maresca will not give him opportunities in the EPL
The thing with the players in the B team, if we do get CL next season, those players will get even less playing time Yes they are doing really well in the Conference, Most of them wont play in the CL, there will be more players wanting to leave.
Nkunku is a International player, top scorer in the bundesliga and should be playing most games in the PL
Enzo has to start him against Leicester
Nkunku has been injured for almost 2 seasons and he cannot get back to his best form until now, he had his chance to prove himself while facing a decent opponent (Newcastle) in the Cabaro cup but he wasted lots of chances at that game. So, what's the excuse of being reluctant to be a part of the Conference league team?
Maybe bc he barely gets prem playing time, you’re bitching about Newcastle but we wouldn’t be 3rd if he didn’t win the Bournmouth game. Speaking this idiotically knowing his playing time is abysmal means you’re disingenuous.
@@SWAVOURKID yeah, with the same concept of yours, if not because Jackson's goals, we wouldn't be 3rd. Clearly Jackson has bigger tactical value than Nkk as a striker.
It's just one game he didn't perform in and he is being played out of position I wish he leaves .
@@johnnvodka Why are mentioning Jackson, the topic is about not being able to properly utilize a top goal scorer. Obviously the less intelligent like to mention other things that blatantly go off topic bc their point was soundly defeated. Also no Jackson has never won us a game, he contributed in wins that’s much different than being the sole reason your team picked up points.
@@SWAVOURKID ya, im sure u look extraordinary intelligent! But u cannot c the true value of NJ in Enzo’s tactics. Scoring goals is important for strikers but not the only aspect to rate strikers, like holding the ball upfront and serving as a pivot which Nkk cannot do it based on his performance. If not dropping Nj, who do u suggest to drop and replace with Nkk?
The Club wants Nkunku out because of his big wages. The best way to push out a player out is to shelve him or put him in a "B-Team"
To lose Nkunku would be the first mistake. To sell him to a direct rival, *again* would be an even bigger mistake. I'm so fed up with this sh*t management.
This might not be good stuff. He has played 3-5 minutes in end of games, let him have fair opportunity and play him for 2-3 games straight in opening and why not in palmers place, palmer has been total shit for few games
I don’t know why we do not get Cole back on the right and play Nkunku. Noni still has lots to learn. You play Jackson, Neto, Nkunku and Palmer
Nkunku is a gun forward and has not been paid much respect by the manager.
Not about getting into the starting 11 but they SHOULD BE getting more minutes in the second half of most games to prove their credentials.
They both didn't play 1 full season like Jackson and Palmer so it is on Maresca's to give them more ACTUAL minutes instead of putting them into the B team
Nkunku deserves to start in Champions league side. Don't want to see him stay in Prem and make us regret not using him.
I think the only way we fit him in is in a two striker system or 3-4-3.
-Nkuku-Jackson-Palmer
Neto-Lavia-Caicedo--James
-Cucruella-Colwell-Fofana
Or
---------Jackson
----Nkuku
--------Palmer
----Enzo-Lavia-Caicedo
Cud switch Enzo and Lavia position
Enzo must reconsider certain players who deserve minutes in the first team I said palmer was injured, that left Enzo with two better options in Nkunku and Jao. I love palmer whole day long but sometimes palmer doesn't set up for big games bring Nkunku on simple.
Looking at the starting 11 I don't see any place for nkunku sadly
he will go on and be top world player
We keep saying put nico on the left and neto on the right let palmer and nkuku switch at the top try at least for few games "
CN18 is a great talent and to be honest I’d hate him to waste his time on the bench. Better he goes because Maresca is insulting him.
For me ooo, the fault is with Enzo Merascer because if you look at Liverpool FC for instance, they have Gakpo and Nunes, Slot try to rotate them to keep them happy, if Jackson qualify for Nation's Cup, who will he use I guess is Christopher, try and give him some start in the premier league so he can as well prove himself and feel the trust of the manager because if Chelsea lose him, they will still go find another striker to support Jackson who might still face the same issue that Christopher is facing right now except he is an average or kids, if you want to win matches and trophy you must try and have world class players almost two in every position in my opinion
Maresca is showing his inexperience in coaching , why can't he give Nkunku 15, 20 or 25 minutes each match......... Sometimes , you can even start him, plays for 60minutes , then bring in Jackson for the remaining 30 minutes .....
Each of them will work harder to get better .......
What made Didier Drogba the best Chelsea striker for now , was bcos he never played as the only striker....... since he joined Chelsea
There was Eidur Gufjohnsen, Hernan Crespo , Andre Shevchenko , Nicholas Anelka , Alvaro Morata , Diego Costa etc......he played with all these strikers
It made him to work harder ......and he became the best among the rest.
Nicholas Jackson is still too raw to be the only Chelsea striker (someone that can't perform without the influence of Cole Palmer behind him)....... Meanwhile , Christopher Nkunku is a confirmed finisher (a real fox in the box) .
He absolutely deserves more game time ......
I will be very unhappy, if Chelsea sell him this January , bcos when the league becomes tougher by March/April......then you need someone like Nkunku in your team .
Maresca should alternate between Nkunku and Jackson and see how it plays out.
Losing nkunku to any team is madness
It would have been easier if Enzo knows how to substitute well because even though Jackson is not performing well and even Cole Palmer but he still leave them on when you have players like unkunku and Felix are on the bench and for me that is not right in perspective
Nkunku is a top player with highest goals this season. Coach is the problem here. Felix & this guy needs chances to shine.
Nkunku is a good player but how long can he consistently stay fit. I genuinely believe he’s being unreasonable to think he’s gonna get given a chance in the first team every week when he hasn’t even been fit that long and hasn’t proved that he will do!
Nkunku is genuinely one of the best players Chelsea have in the entire squad
Also I like Felix, but he is not a Chelsea player, he just doesn’t fit
And Nkunku is better and can do pretty much the same if it came to a switch of starting players
Just watch Chelsea completely mess things up when things are going well, nkunku wants out Felix wants out, Josh is going, I'm not surprised though playing Jackson disasi ahead of them
just putting this here ;
Chelsea with enzo fernandes : it's 7G, 4wins 2draws and 1 loss with 17 goal scored and 7 goals conceded with 2 cleansheet
Chelsea with lavia : it's 4G, 1win 2draws and 1 loss with 4 goals scored and 4 goals conceded no cleanshit
We all agree that Palmer is undroppable and he is great as the 10. But, damn, is it really impossible to just try out Nkunku as the 10 with Palmer back on the RW and Jackson as the 9?? Give it a go for a few games. Play your best players. Nkunku deserves more than 10-20 cameos.
Thoughts on Neto left, Felix 10, Palmer right and Jackson 9?
We will definitely regret,if we sell Nkunku.the coach should try starting Nkunku ahead of Jackson
