Nicolas Jackson sends three-word message to Chelsea fans after Crystal Palace
01/06/2025 11:30 AM
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson took to social media to address fans after the team dropped points for the fourth consecutive match.
The Blues drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace on 4 January, despite taking the lead through Cole Palmer's first-half goal.
This result extends Chelsea's dismal four-match run without a win in the Premier League.
Jackson shared a message on Instagram, offering more hope than concern to fans. He said, "We keep moving" followed by a blue heart emoji.
Manager Enzo Maresca also posted on Instagram, sending a message of solidarity to the supporters.
Chelsea are in a rut that Enzo Maresca must get the team out of
Football Insider opinion
Jackson is one of the many players who has thrived under the Italian coach, with an impressive tally of nine goals and three assists this season.
Jadon Sancho is another player who has been revitalised in West London, with fans praising his recent performances.
However, these individual highlights have been overshadowed by the team's poor results. Despite once being the closest team to Liverpool, Maresca has insisted that his side are not in the title race.
Chelsea have suffered losses to Fulham and Ipswich and drawn with Everton and Palace during this poor run of form—four teams they would typically expect to beat.
There's an argument that the constant narrative of being out of the title race may have affected the players’ mentality, with some possibly not performing to the level they've shown in previous matches.
Maresca's team has been one of the most entertaining sides this season, but while they once had prospects of a potential title challenge, they now find themselves fighting for a top-four finish.
Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth have all emerged as unlikely European contenders and are all in the mix for those coveted spots.
