When comparing the basic numbers of three attackers, Isaac is in many tendency to go out to the top, showing its clinical level and ability to contribute to the accumulation with its progressive actions and creates for its teammates.
However, Isaac is also much closer to its premiere, and Jackson and Delap still have several additional years of development before they hit those levels.
Peter Crouch and Joe Cole praised Jackson as “incredible“A player who deserves more acknowledgments beyond the Chelsea fans base, after scoring two against West Ham earlier in the season. While his form has fallen in front of the goal since then, he still managed to provide some important assists, and Maresca clearly appreciates his entire work in his entire work in team, which was again proven to his absence against Brighton.
It still takes another Jackson striker and add a different set of skills, but the blues will hope that the 23-year-old will return to his next game, because Chelsea obviously looks like a much better side when he is on Pitch than when he is not.
