Delap is Chelsea's shiny new toy but uncut gem Jackson offers rare point of difference | Jonathan Liew
Briefly

Enzo Maresca highlighted the similar traits of Chelsea forwards Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson, yet current dynamics favor Delap as he impressed in the Club World Cup. Delap’s performance contrasted sharply with Jackson’s disappointing outing, leading to a significant fallout for Jackson. Delap's recent success and hype, fueled by his English nationality ahead of the World Cup, positions him favorably within the club. Jackson's struggles, including a public feud with Mikel John Obi and erratic on-field behavior, paint him as a flawed yet talented player. The narrative suggests Delap is the rising star, while Jackson faces challenges to prove himself.
They are quite similar, Enzo Maresca said last week of Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson, but of course nobody wanted to take any notice of that bit.
One must survive. One must go reluctantly on loan to Serie A. Those are just the rules.
Jackson, meanwhile, has been at Chelsea for two seasons and publicly feuding with Mikel John Obi for quite a lot of that time.
Delap is the golden boy, the club's missi.
