8 - Pedri

[Bobo32]

I can run a half marathon in 1 hour 35 minutes (current PB anyway) but I'm not changing direction every 20-30 seconds. Running on the pitch is completely different isn't it.

Then you are decently fit! And would be able to score 20km in a football game if you wanted.

Are you all trolling or how stupid are you? My point is that if football games were decided on meters, fergus90 here would be able to improve Barcelona.
It's not at all about running 10, 12 or 15km in a game, but when and where the player is running.

Pedri is not changing direction or sprinting as much as he should, but he covers a little bit more distance than some other players.

His form of late is troubling me. Time for Puig/Ilaix

Puig-time

This guy is going to do so much better next season. During summer break his brain will process all he had to learn at Barca.
Some overtime in gym and next season will see Pedri 2.0

 

[FCMessi]

Iiaix before Puig for me.

He has started playing like an 18 yo.
Needs a rest and Moriba can cover easily this version of pedri.

No posts for this player today...
I thought he would be able to bring more from the bench to be honest, but looked about the same as when starting lately...

Morphing into Roberto. Backpasses galore and looks like the slowest 18 year old in the history of football. A shame. Doubt he will become any better in the future.

Why why would you bring him on when we need to score, he cant score, he cant provide that killer pass, so wtf do u bring him on for.

Honeymoon is over. I believe we will see Pedri V.2 after the summer.

A clear case of a boy being burnt out by a manager this.

 

[fergus90]

He has been used a lot but he is also off form. I said it a few weeks back but all 2021 he's never really strayed from a 6/10 in performances (he did look well off it against Villarreall though).

I'm pleased with him and for his development but we either need a new CM or the manager to trust others sometimes too. Especially when he is 18, he shouldn't have to carry the creative burden from midfield.

At the beginning he looked adventurous and had a spring in his step and defenders could barely get the ball off him linking well with Messi but now he's settled into this role of keeping it simple and not getting involved enough. He was also excellent at knicking the ball back.

If he goes to the Euros/Olympics in the summer he's not going to come back particularly refreshed especially after so many matches this season. I'd just like to see him more creative and involved because i'm 100% sure he's got it in his locker. I also think management need to be more clever about how they utilise the squad so he can be fresh when it matters.

A summer where he might be playing in both Euros and Olympics?

 

[Windhook]

Given his form of lately he's likely not to be included in Euro squad. But even he is I don't believe he will feature in most of the games.

Yea, too much too soon for him. I hope it's not gonna ruin his confidence.
