NICOLAS JACKSON goes to bed watching video nasties of his Chelsea howlers.
The Senegalese striker has missed a massive 14 ‘big chances’ in the Premier League in his stuttering debut season with the Blues.
And Jacko, 22, relives them all before lights out in his quest to become a goalscoring legend like his hero Karim Benzema.
Ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool, the £30million star said: “Sometimes I go to sleep watching the same videos — always thinking I should have done better.
“Though when I was young, I saw Benzema playing for Real Madrid. I supported them when I was young and he was missing a lot of chances.

“But, later, he won the Ballon d’Or. I’m not saying I’m at that level. I can’t be at that level now.
“Yet I’ve seen it before so I’m not worried. I just try to improve every day and be where I want to be.”
Jackson, who joined from Villarreal in June, has nine goals so far this term — including a hat-trick at Tottenham.
He is now set to lead the Chelsea forward line at Wembley.
The Senegal international admits it has been a struggle adapting to the Premier League following his switch from LaLiga.

But the colourful character also claimed previously that Chelsea’s critics were “talking s**t” about the club when results were poor.
Jackson believes boss Mauricio Pochettino can turn him into a top-class forward — like he did with Harry Kane at ex-club Spurs.
The striker revealed to talkSPORT: “He told Harry the same thing that he is telling me.
“‘Just continue, you miss, but later it will be easy when you start to improve and get experience’.

“He is helping me a lot and all the players in the team. We fight for him and the team.
“It’s been tough as many people don’t understand the most important thing is us — the players.
“But now we’re understanding and playing as a team. Everyone understands the most important thing is us, playing for the manager, club and badge.
“It’s just a matter of understanding each other on the pitch and the goals will come, for sure.”
The full talkSPORT interview with Nicolas Jackson airs at 1.30pm on Sunday.
