chelseawise 115 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 My view on PedroFrom what I have seen over the years he has struggled against premier league teams. I am also worried he will not give us defensive cover that Willian provides. He has good stats on assists and Goals, but you have to bear in mind that Chelsea will never score goals freely like Barcelona. Having said that if I was given a choice between Pedro and Mane, I would take Mane any day purely because the guy is proven in EPL and the type of player Chelsea needs in terms of creativity.I hope I am wrong. Judging from our results in pre season and first two games of the season, there is a problem and I am not sure Pedro will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 From what I have seen over the years he has struggled against premier league teams.From a statistical perspective he's not that bad. He played 480 minutes in 8 games against Premier League teams, scored 1 goal and assisted 3. Goal/assist every other game or every 120 minutes. Not that bad considering he played against top clubs in Champions League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from our results in pre season and first two games of the season, there is a problem and I am not sure Pedro will help.That proven in the PL thing is so overrated. What is that worth? Pedro is proven. Plain and simple. He has scored in a CL final as well as played in the biggest games possible. Balotelli is "proven" in the PL. Would you take him? Torres was "proven" in the PL. Countless other players as well, the system a player plays in and the players he is surrounded by make him play well. NOT, a league. La Liga is considered by many as the best league in the world. About workrate, while no winger has the workrate Willian does, Pedro is no slouch in that department. I think it's a good signing, he is a comparison between the two. Not bad.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 But his take ons and chance creation are even worse than Willian. And he plays for barca...Imo we will get good finisher but thats about it. If team will play shit, Pedro will play shit too. He wont be the one dragging us out, saving us or leading the line. At least he is better than Cuadrado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Barca/Spain he faces parked buses every week. That's no exaggeration either.No surprise a player like Sanchez for example creative/dribbling stats skyrocketed at Arsenal compared to his Barca days.

Stats 7,142 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Busquets is an excellent DM, which very much includes his defending. Not one DM reads the game like him. He's a strong tackler as well. Easily better than Matic imo.Put Busquets in our team and he will be exposed imo. I am not denying is quality but in no way would I say he is better than Matic. You put Matic in Barca and we rarely will talk about a flaw in his game. As for tackling, no DM beats Matic in that department.Most tackles won in the 2014/15 Champions League: Vidal (45) Matić (37) Casemiro (36) Toulalan (30) Busquets (27).Remember, we got knocked out the knockout stage as well, whereas Barca reached the final. Had we reached the final, Matic would have topped that table for sure. Not even a debate who is better. It is easier for Busquets to standout in a team like Barca.

Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think he will be good when we cant score goal and pass the ball over box. He can find place in box to find good position. And also he is good finisher Mayby we will shoot outside box often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Drogba 2,000 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He likes to run into the box, we needed an attacking mid like him since Schurrle left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
