8 - Pedri

[Bobo32]

I counted 2 clear ones early but no biggie, he is an excellent interior for us and always looking for Messi

There were a few more than two in the video and at least one missing, but I agree it was ok.
I think he is sometimes a bit too fast to retreat with the back pass. But he found some good space yesterday and combined well with Puig+Messi, it was very fun to see.

Pedri MASTERCLASS incoming tomorrow. I can sense it.

I look forward to seeing how he fares against Verratti in the middle, will be a great battle.

Worlds best 18 year old, today is the time to bring it!!

The match was too big for him tonight. He looked nervous to me and just not up to par. Touches were not there and passing was off. Can't fault him too much, still just a kid and the first big pressure CL game he has had.

Forgetable game beside a good chance created for Griezmann. As expected from 18 years old though.

 

[evilhita666]

Totally overwhelmed tonight, couldn't stand the pressure, hopefully he doesn't get scarred for life like the rest of the pussies in the squad...

He's started well but Atletico, Real, Juve home and PSG he was nervous or invisible. Not ideal to be starting him in big games.

Think he choked a bit, but then he's 18 and can't be a mental giant at that age yet.

It's another great chapter in Barca brand arrogance thinking that a player like Pedri will ever be top level material. There are loads of examples of players with his talent and style that never touched the top teams of Europe and for a good reason.

He'll continue to do some nice things in League games and he'll move the ball nice and safely. But when the game is one, he's not gonna assert himself and he's not gonna make the difference. Not now, not in 8 years when the game is faster yet.

come on now, he's only 18. there wasn't much he could even do out there

 

[malvolio]

Chocked in every big match this season, like most other team mates. But, he shouldn't have been a starter for us this season.
Poor squad planning hit us hard

No need to pull a BBZ on Pedri. He is still just 18 and has impressed so much in La Liga and CDR.

Age has nothing to do with it. It wasn't nerves that made him useless today. He wasn't a better or worse player than in any of those La Liga games where he looked impressive.

The difference was the opponent. At that tempo at that level, he's not going to make a difference in a million years.
