Exclusive: Shaun Wright-Phillips discusses Chelsea's transfer policy<\/h3>\n

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was forced to intervene after a fan confronted Nicolas Jackson during the Blues\u2019 Premier League clash with Brentford. Supporters grew frustrated during a goalless first half at Stamford Bridge, with one individual taking exception to Jackson\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea striker has split opinion since his \u00a330million switch from Villarreal. He has scored just two Premier League goals in nine appearances this season.<\/p>\n

After another lacklustre team performance in the opening 45 minutes, Jackson was seen being confronted by a supporter near the tunnel. The 22-year-old forward had been in conversation with Pochettino, receiving tactical instructions from the Chelsea coach.<\/p>\n

The man seemed to ask the Chelsea star why he had not scored in the first half. Jackson, who had struggled against a physical Brentford defence, noticed the person and was then seen putting his finger to his lips as if to tell the supporter to be quiet.<\/p>\n

Back in August, Pochettino insisted that Jackson can become a Premier League \u2018great\u2019 and backed the striker to settle quickly. “We knew Nicolas Jackson\u2019s quality when we signed him, we saw that before,\u201d the former Tottenham head coach said after Jackson scored in a 3-0 win over Luton.<\/p>\n
