""He was active, kept running into the spaces and tried hard. But he was unlucky in a few actions," Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl noted in post-match comments captured by Tz, via @iMiaSanMia. Jackson has started in just three matches in all competitions since arriving from Chelsea FC on loan late in last summer's transfer window - and, thanks to the presence of Kane, is not quite getting an extended look as a line-leading center-forward."
"Still, Jackson nominally kept up more advanced positions than Kane in Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund, and should get more opportunities to mesh in this Bayern XI with Serge Gnabry's injury. He has not hit the ground running just yet...but there is a lot of star power around him in attack. Will his chances come in time to convince the Bavarians to keep him permanently after his loan period ends?"
"Bayern Munich got off to a rousing start during its 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker, but it was a nervy ending for the Bavarians. The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half."
Nicolas Jackson started against Borussia Dortmund but struggled to make a decisive impact despite active movement and repeated runs into space. Jackson has only started three matches since joining on loan from Chelsea and faces restricted minutes because Harry Kane occupies the primary center-forward role. Jackson operated more advanced than Kane in the match and may receive additional opportunities due to Serge Gnabry's injury, offering time to develop chemistry within Bayern's attack. Bayern secured a 2-1 Der Klassiker win but endured a nervy, tiring second half that required defensive resilience to preserve the result.
