Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, has acknowledged that the only issue he had with Nicolas Jackson's performance against Liverpool. 
The Senegal striker led Chelsea's attack line against Liverpool in their opening Premier League match of the new season.
Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino admitted that Jackson seemed to be playing alone at times.
Jackson needs greater team support, according to Pochettino, who also praised Jackson's performance against Liverpool.
Jackson participated as Chelsea and Liverpool tied 1-1 on their Premier League debut on Sunday.
Both Axel Disasi and Luis Diaz scored goals for their respective teams as the two shared the point
Pochettino told Sky Sports after the game on Jackson's play, "“I think he was fantastic. We knew him because he was playing in Spain last season – I used to live in Spain, I spent a lot of time there.
“The only problem was that he was a little bit isolated sometimes, and sometimes he needed more help.
“He was fighting really well, I am very happy with his performance, but I think like a team and like a coach, we need to provide for him and play closer to him and help him.”
