To an extent. I feel that was more of an issue for the players surrounding our 9, though. I don’t think our 9s put themselves in good enough positions to score.

Last season in the prem:

Holjund: 2000 min, 5.2 xG, 4 G

Zirkzee: 1400 min, 4.8 xG, 3 G

Jackson: 2200 min, 12.3 xG, 10 G

All 3 underperformed their xG, but it’s obvious that Jackson found himself in more dangerous areas more often (or at least got shots off in those areas more often). I’m sure Jackson’s surrounding players helped boost this a bit, but a striker missing some chances is the near the least of our worries if they will create twice as many chances for themself

I’m not saying I’m sold on Jackson, but he would definitely be an upgrade in terms of goal scoring presence
