He is becoming more and more invisible but still starting every game. It's gonna be the make or break year for Pedro this season. I see him being sold if he just pops in invisible performances 2 out of 3 games this season.

Pedro is a great forwarder, Unfortunately, These type of defensive games where space is a rare commodity, It minimizes all his strengths, I have no doubt he'll kick ass in an open game in camp nou.

That touch getting away with him just amplifies the fact that Pedro hasn't been at the level required for 2 whole seasons now. Sure, he offers some good play and pressing, but he is simply not creative enough or sharp and lethal enough to be a starting Barcelona forward. Not the way he's been playing. I REALLY hope he doesn't play against AM, he just takes up space more than offers anything of true substance these days.

The problem is Barca have almost no open games, hence why he is quite useless as our forward/winger.

Problem is, before we had Henry and Messi on sides and the were always attackers, inside cutting, they weren't bullied on sidelines like Pedro and Alexis are. In the middle we had Eto'o who was able to play with back to the ball but also he wasn't tall, standing in the box type of striker. So we played with 3 striker no matter the opponent.
Today, thoose 2 on the wings don't exist against stronger sides, their presence in the box is nowhere to be seen...Neymar on the other hand is light and all but look at him moving of the ball, always becoming striker, especially when Alves is crosing from the right he is in the box.
That's why I would play Messi, Neymar and Tello in thoose matches, Tello can suck, he is no better than Pedro or Alexis but he can at least beat his man with speed and offer something in final third

The whole false 9 system simply can't work without players that can score or create more danger inside the box. Henry and Eto'o can't be compared as they were strikers that were able to play on the wing, the same case but slightly different was with Villa and Pedro in 2010-2011, Villa a striker and Pedro a winger but a winger that season who was able to score and create more chances. We are toothless infront whenever Messi doesn't play and a striker isn't there. Yesterday from our front 3 noone was a scorer. Alexis is a player who for me doesn't fit into this team simply cause he's style of play isn't for a false 9 system. False 9 demands it's wingers to score and create chances, i can't understand why everyone says can't expect goal from Alexis cause he isn't a scorer, if he's not a goalscoring winger then he doesn't fit into this system.

Bottom line, this system will only work with wingers that can score and create more danger and chances. We have Neymar on the one side but not on right, or else a striker should be considered. Other than that whenever Messi doesn't play we don't have players that are scorers, im sure the depending will be decreased a bit by Neymar but we still can't rely only to one player of the attack to make everything..

That would be wonderful but only if we accepted the offer, if not it's just another reason to add to the stupid things our management has done...
