Ex-Chelsea midfielder Burley: Broja better than Jackson

Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley says Nicolas Jackson isn't good enough to lead the line.

Burley was speaking after Chelsea's 4-1 defeat at Newcastle.

He said on ESPN: “Let's be honest, Nico Jackson's not the answer.

"I don't dislike (Armando) Broja, I know he's had his injury problems. But I think I'd rather have him up front than Jackson. I know he got his goals against Tottenham.

"But come on, let's be realistic, they were down to nine men at the time."
