Pedro is not a dribbler at all and that is one of the reasons he has become easy for teams to stop.

The occasional time he has managed to get past Marcelo doesnt change that.

I don't understand you. This is quite obvious thing that both Pedro and Sanchez are dribblers. Sanchez was the most skillfull player in Seria A and had the most number of successful dribbles. He also makes amazing through balls for Chile. Pedro is the same thing: for example he always beats Marcelo in clasicos on the right. Good passes for Spain also. I can give you links of the videos where they do it, if you want


They're not . It's ok that you use the past in ,, Sanchez WAS the most skillfull player in Serie A and HAD the most number of dribbles" but he isn't the same player anymore. He did begun to take on deffenders in the last 2 games but overall he and Pedro just receive the ball and pass it back to another player...nothing more.

IF Barça continues to use Villa/Sanchez/Pedro centrally up front INSTEAD of Messi, with Messi dropped back (as in Sevilla 2nd half and Milan 2nd leg), then you will see ALL four players getting more shots and goals. The dependence on Messi has been determined by the tactics selected.

Really ? :lol:

Look at all these misses :


Too bad that there isn't any video with all of Sanchez 's and Pedro's missed clear chances they had throughout the season.

:facepalm: People act like Pedro has somehow suddenly forgotten to score for Barça while he still scores for Spain. Doesn't it occur to any of you that the opponents play Barça differently now than they did a few years ago? And that with Messi camped central against buses, Pedro and Villa have been instructed to hold the touchlines (until the recent adjustments against Sevilla and Milan), even though it nullifies their best attacking skills?

Pedro is playing just fine, doing exactly what the coaching staff is asking of him. When (and if) they ask him to make more central runs into the space Messi has been camped in up front most games this season, you'll see him scoring more goals. It's less a matter of his touch than the system Barça is using and the tactics now being used against Barça.
