Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson addresses fans after a disappointing run of form for the Blues.
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson used social media to speak to fans following the team's fourth consecutive match without a win. The Blues drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace on January 4th, despite taking the lead through Cole Palmer's first-half goal. Jackson is one of many players who have excelled under the Italian coach, with nine goals and three assists this season. However, these individual performances have been overshadowed by the team's poor results.
Despite once being the closest challengers to Liverpool, Maresca insists his side are not in the title race. Chelsea have suffered losses to Fulham and Ipswich and drawn with Everton and Palace during this losing streak—four teams they would typically expect to beat. There's an argument that the constant narrative of being out of the title race may have affected the players' mentality, with some possibly not performing to the level they've shown in previous matches. Maresca's team has been one of the most entertaining sides this season, but while they once had prospects of a potential title challenge, they now find themselves fighting for a top-four finish. Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth have all emerged as unlikely European contenders and are all in the mix for those coveted spots
