Despite Jackson’s missed opportunities in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, manager Pochettino continues to express support for the young striker. Jackson has scored 13 goals and provided 5 assists this season, proving his worth despite struggling at times. Pochettino acknowledges that Jackson needs time to adjust and improve, especially in situations where he has time to process his options. While Jackson’s role may shift to the left flank or as a second-choice center forward next season, his strong finishing abilities have been evident.
