Mauricio Pochettino defended Nicolas Jackson after the misfiring Chelsea striker was criticised by supporters during the Blues\u2019 2-0 home defeat to Brentford.<\/p>\n

Jackson has scored two Premier League goals since his summer move from Villarreal.<\/p>\n

Pochettino clarified that a fan had told the striker to \u201cwake up\u201d after a poor first-half display.<\/p>\n

Ahead of their last-16 Carabao Cup clash against Blackburn, the Chelsea boss supported his player.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot abuse, even if you say \u2018wake up\u2019, because I think it\u2019s not right,\u201d Pochettino told a press conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe suffered an injury (to his hand during the last international break), it\u2019s difficult to train, to keep fit and to score goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cNico (Jackson) needs support.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to help the team and for different reasons he\u2019s not performing. He played with a cast after he broke his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans can criticise us and they\u2019re frustrated but they need to analyse the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cJackson is young, he arrived this season and there are circumstances that didn\u2019t help him perform his best.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s our striker, he\u2019s our player and it\u2019s about supporting the player<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think we should throw him into the bin and say he\u2019s useless? We have to give the confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s our striker, he\u2019s our player and it\u2019s about supporting the player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s lack of cutting-edge in front of goal saw them beaten at home for the third time this season.<\/p>\n

Argentinian Pochettino wants his young team to be more \u201caggressive and nasty\u201d,\u00a0 but noted that will come with experience.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe didn\u2019t score because we need to decide ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were not aggressive enough and that\u2019s why they had their chance in the second half and we conceded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to improve and to be more competitive, more nasty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is experience, team experience, as a team we need more patience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be competitive; I feel the responsibility and we are Chelsea, we need to win this type of game.\u201d<\/p>\n
