Report: What Nottingham Forest fans chanted at Nicolas Jackson after his miss for Chelsea on Saturday

Reports have claimed that Nottingham Forest fans went crazy after Nicolas Jackson’s huge miss for Chelsea late on Saturday.

According to The Athletic, the away fans chanted ‘What a waste of money’ as they were on their way to a famous win at Stamford Bridge.

A difficult afternoon for Jackson was capped off with just seven minutes to go as he was presented the best opportunity of the game to pull Chelsea back into things.

As Raheem Sterling cut the ball back from the right, he ballooned an effort over from inside the six-yard box.

Those few seconds were a perfect summary of a nightmare afternoon in West London. There was not much praise going around for the home players.

Paul Merson was impressed by Enzo Fernandez, who has been one of the most expensive additions to this Chelsea team.

However, it is hard to look past the fees paid for a number of the players in the first team that has not seen results come yet.

Mauricio Pochettino is now more than aware of how big the task he has is, as he looks to bring Chelsea back into European football for next season.

It may come as a result of a shift in formation, which is something supporters have been actively pushing for essentially since the Premier League campaign began.

Pre-season saw the manager operate an exciting 4-2-3-1 formation that highlighted the strengths in the squad.

However, competitive games have seen three centre-backs starting, as well as a far more attacking position for current captain Ben Chilwell.
