Exactly . Look at the difference in quality between David Villa and flamin Pedro tonight !!
Should have sold him a month ago when we reportedly got a ridiculously high offer for him .
He should NEVER start again for us , just. substation appearances .
Jees !
i would put any player who runs and fights for the ball as much as pedro
Villa wasnt that good yesterday imo, he just scored the goal on the counter, a nice shot though.. but nothing that amazing
in our current squad with Alves who losses balls and doesnt bother to come back, Xavi who cant tackle at all (!), Messi who, for some reason, doesnt bother to fight back for the ball after losing possession sometimes (unlike few years ago), Iniesta who isnt that much of a presser aswell,
in this current situation ^
we actually have to count a lot on our wingers not only to score goals or cross or cut inside etc... but actually to do A LOT of pressure and defense..
Sanchez is getting better and better in that, i admit..
Neymar is getting used to it..
Tello .. i think he's quite ok on that part.. but - Pedro .. i dont think u can underestimate his effort and influence on our pressure game
he's one of our most important players atm .. in my opinion. specially because we are losing our quick-pressure gameplay as the years go by.
