8 - Pedri

[FinBarcelonafan]

His stamina is shit 😂😂 this type of player can?t win you game unless he play in a dominant side like barca 2011 just like busquets

What? He has maybe the craziest endurance. He could probably run for days, for fun.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Looked very uncomfortable in the beginning but the longer the game went on, he looked better and better, almost the only one that tried to play the ball forward quickly. made some risky passes that didn't always reached the target, but with some games under the belt he will be brilliant. the class is already there.

Look at the first five minutes of second half again. Absolute master class from Pedri. Especially the first two-three times he has the ball. Immediately you see class.

Xavi looked very happy with him immediately. He sees the massive talent. This kid could become something insane.

You seriously need to wise up and ask yourselves why the evaluation of Pedri's performances always seems to dwell on these abstract attributes like "class" instead of concrete actions.

People are swayed by some indefinable quality about how he plays that, while unique and interesting, isn't necessarily synonymous with "good."

Please keep a sober mind and look at what his actions actually amounted to. If you disregard that mystical elegance of his, you'll often find a selection of actions that might be sensible and well-executed but that are still completely unremarkable.

Great players make very hard things look insanely easy. That's Pedri.

There are multiple dribbles that someone like Abde did tonight, that I swear if it had been Pedri, peolpe would had been raging about the "class" of them. But because it was Abde, it was nothing special. Even the dribble and shot he took at the end that fizzed wide.

Pedri is not about dribbles, he is about clever touches, passing and vision

Don't agree. Pedri played inconsistent of course, but out of the best 5 key passes we made in this game, 3 of them were his. And that's him playing one half after months.

Abde is very good dribbler. I think he had the most dribblers in LaLiga(per90min). More than Vinicius.

He is class..

You don't expect your midfielder to be world's best dribbler

I don't agree. Busquets' to Ferran. Alba' assist. Dembele into the head of Luuk. Those are three that were better, more productive, than any of Pedri's tonight.

God, the arrogance of cliches like this. Should I break out the old "You watch the game, you don't see Busquets. You watch Busquets, you see the whole game," to wave off any criticism of him as well lol?

Pedri?s execution has been sloppy today. Because he had two injuries, COVID and was months out. People are talking about his vision to see those passes when praising him for today, the touches to create space for himself. As an isolated game, yes he was average. In context, it was very promising and reminded everyone why Pedri is very special. It is not rocket science mate.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Imagine if it had been Pedri and not Frenkie that had been involved in our first goal... The collective swooning would have been unbearable.

Are you deluded? Are you talking about the .. headed flick on to Dembele? Which is the most un-Pedri-like action? Stop with the hypotheticals, you are embarrassing yourself.

He's still afforded patience and goodwill that other players aren't. What passes are you talking about that were so great that he deserves praise simply for having the vision to see them even though he fucked them up?

Are we talking about those simple attempted lobbed through balls or what?

What does it matter if it's "Pedri-like" or not? My point is that people invest any action of his with an automatic goodwill.
