Marc Guiu Faces Criticism After Missed Chances in Chelsea’s Victory
Marc Guiu, a new signing for Chelsea, has come under fire from fans following an underwhelming performance in a recent match against Servette. The young forward, who joined the club from Barcelona this summer, made his first starting appearance for Chelsea after previously appearing as a substitute.
During the match, Guiu had multiple opportunities to score, including one notable moment where he found himself with an open goal after intercepting a clearance from Servette goalkeeper Jeremy Frick. Despite the favorable position, Guiu’s effort was thwarted as Frick managed to recover and block the shot.
Fans expressed their disappointment on social media, with various comments highlighting the situation. One fan described Guiu’s missed chance as ‘embarrassing,’ while another mentioned that he ‘missed the sitter.’ Additionally, some supporters suggested that Guiu should be sent out on loan to gain more experience.
Further comments drew comparisons between Guiu and former Chelsea strikers Alvaro Morata and Timo Werner. Some users remarked on Guiu’s apparent struggles in front of goal, with one quipping that he seemed to be ‘studying the Timo Werner texts.’
Despite his missed opportunities, Chelsea secured a 2-0 win in the Europa Conference League playoffs, with goals from Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke. Guiu was substituted shortly after his missed chance, highlighting a challenging moment in what is hoped to be a successful career ahead.
