Pedro is the signing arsenal/united/city should of done....

Arsenal has ramsey, united has mata and city has now KDB....

All 3 teams should of went for pace and a hardworker instead. They will regret not going for Pedro. Pedro is willian with goal scoring ability...

City bought Sterling.

Even more apparent in a team like ours.

I said before all this kicked off again that the club needed shagging with a hot scaffold pole if we didn't go for him, we did and we fucking nailed it. I will put good money that this lad flourishes

Really? navas vs pedro?

Pedro is better than Navas in everything outside of speed. pedro would give silva more room to operate.

They already had an out and out right winger and whilst Navas isn't at the level of Pedro he does a really good job for City. Not only that but we needed an out and out right winger as we didn't have one.

I think he did okay. We can't expect a player who has just arrived to win us every match, still he got an assistance.

The following part of my post may be filled with blind hope or excessive optimism, take it with a grain of salt, or hold onto it for dear life, lol.

I can't wait for us to play Matic - Oscar - Cesc; Hazard - Costa - Pedro.

With his pace, dribbling skills and pressing qualities, Pedro is an improvement to Willian in the right wing with the goals and assists added. Surely for when Oscar is playing like crap and unfortunately that is almost a given due to his inconsistency, we can have Willian replacing him, but fact is Pedro is an upgrade to Willian all things considered. Maybe we still need an upgrade for Oscar (that isn't Willian), but we got at least half of the job done.

I really hope when Oscar is back he comes on his best form and helping the pressing, setting the tempo, making himself available for passes exchanges our midfield will look more solid and compact. This leaves space for Cesc to split defenses with his through balls, Hazard and Pedro to take onto opponents on both flanks and Pedro is an improved Schurrle, being a great target for those Cesc passes. Pedro is everything Schurrle should dream of becoming (and don't know if he will ever). He gets between the lines, he's fast, he's direct, he has a flair for goals (and important and decisive goals on big matches nonetheless).

If we fix our midfield and that could be with Oscar or some new signing, someone to share the dirt work properly with Matic, help our pressing and start properly our attacks, Hazard - Costa - Pedro will be deadly.

Jason said in the Mourinho thread that this is the most un-Mourinho team he's ever managed and while I disagree with some points, I definitely agree about the counter-attack thing. Pedro is the player to fix our attack setup and I agree with DYC. (or was it Pizy?) about us needing to fix our attack drills. It looks like we don't have any sort of identity, it looks like whatever player gets to do whatever he wants as he don't seem to have any kind of style and philosophy when attacking. With Pedro's presence that could change. He has the ability to replicate Hazard to a certain extent on the right - which gives opposition a much bigger problem and while Hazard is definitely more talented and technical than Pedro, Pedro is years ahead of Eden in terms of finishing, directness and experience - which makes him not only the perfect partner in crime for Eden, but also a damn good mentor.

Pedro isn't our savior - I don't think our attack needs any saving to start with (only organization), but he's definitely the answer. Mourinho should now be able to implement some sort of identity to our attacking phase - whatever that is, but I think we just have the right players center, left and right to play counter-attack and the players we have are definitely capable of delivering what Mou expects from them.

In many positions I think Mourinho is a victim of the lack of the quality needed for what he plans (whether he miscalculated the signings or had to deal with players already here is another discussion), but now this excuse can't be given anymore and with Kenedy and Willian I think we even have some decent depth in the attacking positions. So if we fail again to build a convincing attack, with some philosophy in place, it's going to be all on Mourinho (not that it wasn't before, as he's the one who signed the players we had, but he now definitely has the right players for a deadly attack imo).

So either I'm sober and this makes a lot of sense, or we're just in such a dark place with the team now, that I'm holding onto blind hope and on straws... I really hope the former is the case.

I watched the game, he looked very lively and pacy. Played very directly also with great movement.

He would've shined much more if Spain passed less and attacked more but he's a fucking quality! So happy to have him in there dark times.
