Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca don clear the air on top why young striker Marc Guiu no dey squad as dem drag 2-2 with Brentford for Gtech Community Stadium.
The Blues remain unbeaten this season, but truth be say na two points wey dem throwaway, no be one wey dem gain. Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo don give Chelsea 2-1 lead, but substitute Fabio Carvalho equalise late-late to spoil the party.
Why Guiu No Dey Squad
Maresca reveal say e no be injury or sickness matter, na pure tactical choice. According to am: “Marc na striker, we sabi am from last season, but I decide give Tyrique George more confidence after the way him play against Fulham. Guiu go get him chance, season still long.”
Remember say Chelsea recall Guiu from Sunderland loan after Liam Delap injury bust Nicolas Jackson move. Even though the ex-Barça boy don score six goals in 16 games for Chelsea (all na Conference League), Premier League minutes still dey scarce for am — just 70 mins so far.
Pedro Almost Match Hazard Record
While Guiu dey miss out, Joao Pedro dey shine brighter. Against Brentford, him assist Cole Palmer equaliser, make am three assists this season plus the two goals him don already score.
That mean na five goal contributions in four league matches. Only Eden Hazard do am faster — Hazard get six goal contributions inside just three games back in 2012.
Chelsea fans dey happy with the Brazilian sharpness upfront, and e clear say him dey find him rhythm quick-quick. If Pedro continue like this, e fit write him name inside Stamford Bridge golden books.
Table & What Next
Chelsea dey sit 5th for Premier League table after the draw. Next na Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, a proper test to show whether Maresca boys dey ready for Europe wahala.
