Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has again been called out by Alan Shearer. The England legend criticised the Blues star during Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

A goal in each half from Scott McTominay gave United a vital three points to ease the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. Chelsea had equalised through Cole Palmer but were unable to threaten the hosts’ goal in the second half anywhere near as much as they did in the first.<\/p>\n

Jackson spurned a great chance to score in the opening 45 minutes when he was set one on one by Raheem Sterling. The Senegal star’s touch was heavy and United keeper Andre Onana was quickly out to thwart him.<\/p>\n

Former Scotland forward Ally McCoist was on co-commentary duty for Amazon Prime and criticised Sterling’s pass, claiming it didn’t give Jackson the best chance to score. But Shearer disagreed with McCoist at half-time and said Jackson should have taken the shot first time.<\/p>\n

He said: “I think that\u2019s a decent pass from Sterling, I disagree with Ally who said it was poor on commentary. There\u2019s no need for Jackson to let the ball run across him – he\u2019s seven yards in front of goal, in the centre, just have a shot!<\/p>\n

“We said before the game he takes too many touches, forget about it, for me that\u2019s an incredible chance they\u2019ve wasted.”<\/p>\n

Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink also felt Jackson should have done better. He commented: “Sterling\u2019s pass to Jackson, it\u2019s fine – Jackson should not take two touches there, he should not!”<\/p>\n

It isn’t the first time Shearer has questioned Jackson since his summer arrival from Villarreal. In October he claimed the 22-year-old was not a natural goalscorer following Chelsea’s 2-0 loss at home to Brentford.<\/p>\n
