Popular Post! Rekin 835 Posted August 23, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted August 23, 2015 I dont want to make too many assumptions based on that one performance, but there are a few things that stand out for me.First of all, he had a better game on the right wing than, in my opinion, any of Willian, Schurrle, Salah or Cuadrado have had. Sure, Willian and Schurrle both had some very good games, but I can not honestly remember a performance that was as complete. Pedro worked hard to get back, he played intelligently and knew when to pass and when to shoot, he showed that in difference from Cuadrado he is capable to move quickly in tight spaces without speed, and if I got one feeling from him today it was that he is a team player 100%.Second of all, this is a few days after signing to a completely new team, on a wet surface against a physical Pulis-team. If you can do well here, you should be able to do well against other physical teams. Lastly, this performance will buy him more time in the starting eleven. It is important to get a good start for the confidence, and he will enter the next game feeling less nervous. I was in favor of buying Cuadrado, but Pedro is putting him to shame in a huge way. killer1257, Clockwork, The Skipper and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 441 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Took about 10000 rw to find a good one...Pedro was an excellent signing, really surprised United didn't go for Pedro. Would of been a huge upgrade to Mata on the right wing. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadenza666 221 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 dream debut and could have had 4 assists. That cross to Costa in the second half, which I thought initially was a goal !....then the unforgivable miss of Willian...finally the one to Falcao.

Thor 2,702 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Cracked me up that people thought he was going to come here and sit on the bench, and just be a serviceable back up. Dude is quality. Every time I saw some little dude darting around the pitch to get the ball back, I realized it was him. Hopefully, despite negative instructions from the sideline, he inspires the players to push up higher and press. I think we have the quality up front to be able to do this now, with the only exception being Cesc, who would hold us back. Matic and particularly Costa could thrive with this style of play. We looked great with him out there. Was shocked to see him come off despite being our best defensive player out there, trying to chase down everything. Would have been far better to take off Cesc and have had this energiser bunny out there chasing everyone. Anyway, got the result, and he silenced a few of those who were sceptical on here. Not just a fluke either. Sure, we can harp on about the goal and assist, but it was more so his ability to beat the man, keep his dribble, and that close control. That won't go away even if some of the stats do. The Mak, OneMoSalah and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 and people wanted us to spend big on Griezmann, he would never have been able to put in a performance like that at RW, and after the red card, there is no doubt Griezmann would have been the one taken off not Willian.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He showed us proper wingplay from the right. Pass and move, ability to beat his marker and with crosses into the box for Costa. That is what a winger does, not put his head down and cross aimless like willian always does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 So true.To think some compared his technique to Schurrle. Couldn't help but laugh when I read that kind of stuff.Delighted with his strong start. bababoom, OneMoSalah and iseah100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Opponents will finally have to stop triple marking Hazard, what an impactYes, yes, yes. This will hopefully be the case. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The exact player we needed, i said it when we were linked to him the first time. Why nobody wanted to trigger the £21m buy out clause is a mystery to me, £21m in football nowadays is nothing, precisely fuck all. We now have a player that can have the same impact as Hazard but on the right. His touch is ridiculous, he's quick, he's technically fantastic and he scores goals and makes goals. A player with end product is what we've been crying out for. I think we're near complete now. I woke up excited yesterday, i'm even more excited now. This guy has won fucking everything, he'll feel no pressure like Cuadrado for example who's trying to make a name for himself. This team has now got a lot better. Hazard was awful yesterday, we won. We wouldn't have won with the same line up as the first 2 games. If Hazard doesn't play, Pedro will and when they're both in form, beware premiership.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He'll probably do a Deco and score a stunner in his second game, and then do fuck all for the next two years. Mart and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
