I think finishing is a lot harder than we give it credit for and we tend to remember misses more than makes.Wtf Jackson. I swear the quality of finishing by every striker in the EPL is shockingly bad.

And then give Arteta one for probably calling that out...Trossard getting a yellow for stepping on a foot - fine, agreed. But Jackson got nothing for going studs up into Tomi's ankle.
Make it make sense.
I don't think Arteta has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to moaning lolAnd then give Arteta one for probably calling that out...
Find me the PL manager that doesn't complain.I don't think Arteta has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to moaning lol

I don't deny that but this year specificaly it seems like even having an open net opportunity is an adventure for a striker.I think finishing is a lot harder than we give it credit for and we tend to remember misses more than makes.
i'm just saying that only Pep, Jurgen, and Mikel have taken it to the level of press conference performance artFind me the PL manager that doesn't complain.
I watch Serie A, the pace is very slow but tactics and execution blow the EPL out of the water.I don't watch Serie A as much as PL but I wonder if you could make an argument that Serie A is pretty much on par with PL. Hard to say as I'm not too familiar with the lower table of Serie A. But I think I might take the top half of the Serie A table above the PL's. The only thing that gives me real pause is how good City is.
The standard of coaching in Serie A is quite a bit higher, and I think they're definitely value for how good they've been in Europe this year. Within the top half, though, there's a lot of inconsistency week-to-week performance-wise, as I can tell.I don't watch Serie A as much as PL but I wonder if you could make an argument that Serie A is pretty much on par with PL.

The issue with Jackson wasn't that he missed the chance per se, it's that he ducked his head down and stuck his arm out like he was scared of the ball.I think finishing is a lot harder than we give it credit for and we tend to remember misses more than makes.
Also Ten Hag, Silva, Poch, Howe, etc.xG is hilariously level after that first half

Jackson very clearly lives or dies with his confidence, and I think the back-to-back flack he's gotten since the PK incident (justified) and the FA Cup semi (unjustified and veered in some corners into racist abuse) has him playing tense and overthinking today.The issue with Jackson wasn't that he missed the chance per se, it's that he ducked his head down and stuck his arm out like he was scared of the ball.
There's just no earthly reason for a striker to do that in that situation.
Yeah, I wasn't talking about that chance in particular, but the more general point about the state of finishing in the EPL.The issue with Jackson wasn't that he missed the chance per se, it's that he ducked his head down and stuck his arm out like he was scared of the ball.

Is he the solution long term or do you feel Chelsea will look for a new starter next year?Jackson very clearly lives or dies with his confidence, and I think the back-to-back flack he's gotten since the PK incident (justified) and the FA Cup semi (unjustified and veered in some corners into racist abuse) has him playing tense and overthinking today.
It's not just his finishing, when he's confident his interplay is close to Giroud level, and today he's been killing counters.
Ten Hag is still complaining about calls from last September. At least the rest are "normal" complainers.Also Ten Hag, Silva, Poch, Howe, etc.
I think it would be very foolish for Chelsea to look for a new starter - he's had a lot of really good games and shown that he can be up to the level, and this is only his second full season of first team football.Is he the solution long term or do you feel Chelsea will look for a new starter next year?

The man said he's only been able to select his strongest squad once in 18 months ... and it was conveniently the dogshit team that lucked into beating City 2-1 over a year ago. Yeah they've had injuries, but he talks out of his ass constantly.I never listen to Ten Hag but I also have some tidbit of his press conference here and there on social media and I must admit I always laugh at how he always defend the players performance and results. You could swear by his comment that Man United is the best team in the EPL.
