Chelsea legend slams striker after red card disaster threatens club’s Champions League dreams — fans demand summer sale!
FULL STORY:
Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League took a crushing blow after Nicolas Jackson’s moment of madness against Newcastle. In the 35th minute, the Senegalese forward elbowed Sven Botman, resulting in a straight red after VAR review. Chelsea, already struggling to secure top four, played the rest of the match a man down and dropped crucial points.
The backlash was immediate and fierce — and it wasn’t just fans. Frank Lampard delivered a brutal verdict, stating: “Is it until he gets you relegated that you’ll know it’s time to get rid of him? I said from the start he’s utter shte but nobody listened.”* He called Jackson “immature” and urged the club to move on from him in the summer.
Online, Chelsea fans echoed the sentiment:
“Sell Jackson in the summer. I’ve had enough.” – @Iewdawg
“That red just cost us UCL football. I’m done with him.” – @CFC_Janty
“I backed him until today. That’s the last straw.” – @willreyner
With Jackson now suspended for the rest of the league season, Chelsea have no fit strikers for the final stretch. The only glimmer of hope? Jackson is eligible for the upcoming Conference League final — though many fans now don’t want him near the squad.
