But if your team tend to have more possession like 80% of the time, you don't really have to make many tackles and/or interceptions do you?

That is why I can't see how anyone says Busquets is better. He looks good in a team like that. If he was at us, he would be much more exposed and not be able to do what Matic does for us.

Did I say he's the better DM? I'm just saying those kind of stats can be misleading because there are so many factors that affect the numbers. They can't be used as something definite to say 'Player X' is better than 'Player Y'.

My bad. I thought you did. Busquests is a product of that system imo. Matic has done it in different places and if given the chance would thrive in a more possession oriented team.

Couple of nice stats via our friends at the BBC;

  • Since 2009-10, only Messi (317) has been involved in more league goals for Barcelona than Pedro (93 - 58 goals, 35 assists)
  • Pedro has been directly involved in more goals with Messi than anyone else in the past five years (28)
  • Only Luis Suarez assisted as many of Messi's 43 goals in La Liga last season as Pedro, despite the Spaniard's limited game-time
  • Chances created: 180

  • Win %: 75.98

I've always liked Pedro. An awesome first touch and good close ball control. The two things Schurrle didn't have.

Pedro is a better Schurrle and is good at exactly the things Schurrle struggled with along with all the strengths that Schurrle had.

Generally excited. He's someone who will make good runs off the ball which I feel Hazard or Willian don't do enough for wide players. He could score 10 goals or more this season, especially with Cesc and Hazard in the team. Willian must play more as a 10 now.

From what I seen from the United fans they are like us blaming the coach and the board for letting Otamendi and Pedro go.

Not like oh we didn't need him delusional type thinking like Liverpool fans do.

A few weeks ago, this guy said that Pedro was better than Di Maria. :rolleyes:
