Brentford are actually playing Tottenham of the park in these first 20 minutes. So absolutely beautiful football being played and their press is insanely good
Oh well... I'm sure thay was not the result ManU wanted, but it's a wake up call. Hull City mauled them and were very discipline defensively, good for them...

It is not Emegha's fault that Nicolas Jackson didn't take his chances when he had them.
It's also not Emegha's fault that Jackson chose to go on loan to Bayern. At the time, the competition he was walking away from was essentially Liam Delap and Joรฃo Pedro, two strikers who, like Jackson when Chelsea signed him, arrived without an established pedigree at the very highest level. Jackson chose to leave and back himself elsewhere.
And if Chelsea have now moved on from him, I don't see how the club can be blamed either. They wanted him to stay, he chose to leave, and by his own admission, "the plane doesn't turn back." Decisions have consequences. He made his choice, and Chelsea were entitled to make theirs.
The important thing is that this doesn't even require Emegha to already be better than Jackson.
Jackson got his opportunity at Chelsea. Delap has had his opportunity. Joรฃo Pedro got his opportunity and took it. Now, if Chelsea believe Emegha deserves his, then give him the same chance to prove what he can do.
Maybe Emegha succeeds, maybe he doesn't. That's football. But dismissing him as "shit" or automatically worse than Jackson before he's even had his opportunity is dumb (I am not sorry).
Jackson was once the relatively unproven striker Chelsea decided to take a chance on too.
Now it's Emegha's turn.
