Great goal from the little Butchers Dog. 2 nutmegs!

51 games, 14 goals and 5 assists this season. Been inconsistent but that is a reasonable return compared to his previous seasons here. Think Pulisic will take his place eventually next year but maybe keep him around as a squad player? Can pop up with a goal.

For a guy that was brought up in La Masia, played under Guardiola, and played for Barcelona and Spain during their possession/Tiki Taka era, to have transformed into a player that loses the ball so fucking much, is unbelievable.

Why is it that people condemn a player only after a defeat. 

Pedro is who he is and was. Throughout his Chelsea tenure he has been bang average with the only saving grace being that he can score a few. His all-round game has always been poor or rather frustrating

There's a reason why Barca, an elite club got rid of him all those years ago and a par average club like ours took him on. There are levels. 

[Fernando 6,463]

No, Pedro like Giroud are good subs. 

The problem is that in our club they are starting 11. Should be sub, as that is what he was for Barcelona. 

[robsblubot 3,504]

Poor against United like most in attack. 

Older players tend to take a little longer to regain their fitness, so I’d not rule out Pedro just yet. Same applies to azpi.

There's a time and place to start such players (against both half teams).

Pedro was a main overall starter on most all of those insane Pep and post-Pep Barca teams from 2008-2014 

2008-9 was his rookie year, so played only a little, he missed 11 games in 2011-12 due to minor injuries (still produced 19 total goals + assists), but was averaging around 3300-3600 minutes every other year, including 32 and 35 and 32 total goals produced years

he was a monster player, one of my all time favourite Barca players

He was only part time in his last year there, 2014-15, and still played a role in 20 goals (11 goals, 9 assists) in only 2200 minutes

from 2009 to 2015, he averaged almost 27 total goals produced per year, and that was with him basically missing/not playing almost 3/4 of a season's worth of minutes

Eden averaged almost 29 total goals produced per year here over his time, and that was playing hundreds more minutes per year on average, over 1000 more in 2 of those seasons (4441,and 4521 minutes per year), and had another near 4000 minute season too)

Pedro in 2016/17 put up great numbers for us in the limited amount of minutes he played, 25 total goals accounted, which, if he had an Eden higher season level of minutes he would have more than likely ended up with over 40 total (he was 29yo then, so certainly capable of it, IF we had needed him to log that amount)

[Pizy 18,368]

You keep Pedro in the final throw and he's great. Very dangerous anywhere around the opponents penalty area.

The problem is everywhere else. He tries to do way too much at times. Tries to dribble his way out of trouble too much, tries to jink and juke too much, and he often gives away silly free kicks in our half by being too eager in his tackles.

He's a good weapon to have in our squad but he's got some definite trade offs.
