ESPN journalist Gabriele Marcotti has not been impressed with one thing Nicolas Jackson keeps doing during games.
Nicolas Jackson scored in Chelsea‘s 2-2 draw with Brentford last Saturday and shushed the home supporters during his celebration.
It is not the first time the striker has done it this season and Gabriele Marcotti, who was speaking about his antics on The Gab & Juls Show, has now told him to stop doing it.
Jackson’s header at the Gtech Community Stadium was his eighth in the Premier League this term and 11th in all competitions.
The 22-year-old is leading the line for Chelsea at the moment, but Paul Ince does not actually think it is his best position.

Gabriele Marcotti slams Nicolas Jackson’s antics
Speaking about Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Brentford on his and Julien Laurens’ show, the ESPN pundit said: “Also, Nico Jackson, stop shushing the crowd. Those are the people who pay your salary, do not do that.”
Laurens added: “Especially after missing that big chance before the header.”

Nothing wrong with Nicolas Jackson’s celebration
Honestly, we do not think Jackson is causing too much harm here. There is nothing wrong with giving a little bit back to opposition supporters.
Was it a bit shameless after the Senegal international missed a really good chance before his goal? Maybe, but that is probably what some Chelsea fans love about him right now. Jackson just does not seem to care at times.
The former Villarreal man, who was bought for £32m (The Guardian) by Chelsea last summer, has been a really entertaining signing.
Most importantly, though, Jackson has helped the team with his goals. He could be doing better, something the player himself has already admitted, but there is a lot to like about the Chelsea star.
If Jackson continues to annoy people with his celebrations and can become more prolific, he is certain to become an even more popular figure in west London.
