8 - Pedri

[hardyboy]

He was one of best players on park for majority of game in CM and not at AM.

He was playing as AM most of the game. FDJ was playing deep..

 

[Bobo32]

Couldn't tell the difference between him and Di Maria

He has gone down very much in frequency the last month, looks a lot slower since then.
And I must agree that some of his movements with the ball are a bit Iniesta-like after all. But he lacks so much positional sense, I don't like him as a CM yet.

No he wasnt.

Was playing CM and FDJ was in defence.

Basically played alongside Busquets. Fdj played as a libero.

 

[serghei]

Inconsistent game. He made the most errors after Dembele imo. Had some standout moments as well.

 

[Porque]

There was a moment in the second half that the ball sat up perfectly for Pedri on the edge of the box... and you just knew he was looking for the backheel.

 

[Raketa10]

He needs to learn how to shoot the ball! He doesn't even try it!

 

[JamDav1982]

All see it different but I thought he was class after first 20 mins or so and ran the midfield.

PSG couldnt get near him.. and they were trying to.

Started zinging some decent balls as well.

Still feert to shoot though.

 

[Joan]

Must start shooting. Miss or rocket it, doesn't matter. He chooses to pass in fine positions even if it's obvious the pass has little chance of making it.

 

[vuji_31]

That time when he was beetween 3 players on the line was magic.

Great future.

He is 18.Stop talking shit

 

[serghei]

Indeed, sometimes we forget he's just 18.

 

[DonAK]

He's an incredible player for his age and is constantly improving. Will get better with experience and hopefully start taking those shots too.

I won't be too harsh on Pedri simply because I never expected us to depend on a player who recently turned 18.

it's all about perspective

 

[te amo barca]

Had a couple of moments where it was obvious he was scared to have a go. Both ended with a terrible pass I think. Koeman should really address his shooting, or Messi can give him advice and encourage him to just try to score. Feels like an Ozil right now who would be passing the ball in all situations under the pretense of being a playmaker while in reality running away from the responsibility in decisive moments. It doesn't matter if you are a CF or CB, when you are in a position to shoot you just do it.

Messi: "You see the goal, you see me. You pass to me to score the goal. You, you should never shoot. You are shit at shoot. You shoot you die, even if it goes in. Look at Trincao and learn. He scored 2 and he goes to the bench. Why? Because he score goal without passing to Messi to score the goal. Ok kid, good luck. Oh and btw, if you pass to me with backheel I'm buying everybody taaaaaaaacoooooos".

Or something like that.
