Fans have taken to social media to criticize the Chelsea striker after his failed move against Brentford.
Jackson has come in for a lot of criticism for his performances since his £32million move from Villarreal last summer.
The Senegal international has scored seven goals so far in his debut season in the Premier League but could possibly have scored more if he was clinical.
During Saturday’s clash with Brentford in west London, Jackson tried to dribble with step-overs but failed miserably when he tripped over his own foot.
Fans on social media have criticized him, with some urging the Blues to ‘try another sport’.

In a dazzling first half, the Senegalese striker scored and silenced the crowd
One fan wrote on X, “Jackson you might as well try another sport bro lmao,” with crying emojis.
Another said: ‘Jackson is a real comedian’, while another reflected that opinion by saying: ‘Nicolas Jackson is a clown’
A Manchester United fan added: ‘Chelsea fans actually compared Nicholas Jackson to Drogba at the start of the season… Jesus Christ.’
Jackson missed a great chance minutes later, failing to find the back of the net after rounding Bees goalkeeper Mark Fleken before his effort was cleared off the line.
In a dazzling first half, Jackson gave Chelsea the lead moments later with a brilliant header from a Marlo Gusto cross ten minutes before half-time.
The 22-year-old showed his relief as he celebrated by silencing the crowd.
