 with Nicolas and Enzo (Fernandez),' said Pochettino. 'I said 'Come on, a striker with four yellow cards for protesting?' You need to get yellow cards but in different actions, not for that.

Summer signing from Villarreal, Nicolas Jackson, has cut an increasingly frustrated figure during Chelsea’s early-season struggles, scoring just once in last month’s 3-0 win over Luton
Mauricio Pochettino has spoken with Nicolas Jackson to try to address the striker’s discipline on the pitch after he was booked for dissent for the fourth time in five games against Bournemouth last weekend.
The summer signing from Villarreal has cut an increasingly frustrated figure during Chelsea’s early-season struggles, scoring just once in last month’s 3-0 win over Luton.
Chelsea are 14th in the Premier League after Pochettino’s first five games in charge and have not found the net in their last two outings. Jackson, who was signed for £31million in part as a response to the team’s woeful goal return of 38 last season in the league, has shown flashes of promise.
But he was a peripheral figure for much of Chelsea’s dour stalemate at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday when the home side coped comfortably with what little threat Pochettino’s side posed.
