After a strong start to his tenure, Enzo Maresca faces criticism following Chelsea’s underwhelming festive performances. The article highlights the need for tactical bravery, particularly in integrating young striker Marc Guiu into Premier League games. Despite excelling in the Conference League with six goals in six matches, Guiu has been limited to bench appearances in the league. With Christopher Nkunku struggling in a No.9 role and Nicolas Jackson carrying the attacking load, Guiu’s energy and instincts could offer Chelsea a fresh option to revitalise their attack.
Guiu’s European Form: Guiu has proven his potential with six goals in as many Conference League games but has been overlooked in Premier League matches.
Calls for More Trust: Critics, including Joe Cole, see Guiu as a promising talent who can contribute now, especially as a substitute to exploit tired defenses.
Opportunity Amid Struggles: With Chelsea facing form issues and lacking depth at striker, Guiu could provide an alternative solution to ease the burden on Nicolas Jackson and improve Chelsea's attacking options.
