Merson: It s awful for Chelsea to let Jackson go, he can create more space for Palmer

Hupu, October 6th, Scholes and Paul Merson said during a podcast that they thought it was a wrong decision for Chelsea to let Jackson go.

Scholes said: "A player like Palmer who plays No. 10 midfielder, they need a speed on the front line, and a player like Ian Wright is in front. I don't think Jackson is the top finisher. Even if he gets a one-on-one chance, you won't have enough confidence in him scoring goals. I have never had that reliable impression of him."

"But at least, Jackson can drive the team forward, and his running position can help other players - because it can create space for teammates. When your forward line doesn't have speed, everyone will press on, and you will be in a dilemma of nowhere to go."

Paul Merson also said: "I think Chelsea let Jackson go is a bad operation, really. I once thought Jackson achieved it. Palmer, Palmer also made Jackson. As a midfielder, you definitely like passing, so you want the forward to have speed, which is a dream. Jackson always gets forward, which will open up the game and create more space for Palmer. "

" Now Jackson is gone, Joon Pedro is on top, but Pedro is more like a No. 10 player who can retrace the ball. Suddenly, creative players like Palmer and Enzo have less time to get the ball and have to catch the ball further back, and at that position you can't pose a threat to your opponent at all."

" In my opinion, this is a problem. Jackson may not be the best finisher, but he always has time to get him out, and I always think it's a bad deal to loan him out."
