You must be joking, there's a reason Pedro doesnt receive enough service, it's because he is *useless* without space to exploit.
Setting up players for shots is useless? He knows when to hold the ball, when to pass, when to shoot, when to run to drag players, when to move to set up wall passes.
Here's the first 15 minutes. Barça has yet to take a shot, but Pedro has been involved in nearly every threat, and created/set up the best chance (outside of the un-called foul on Neymar):
0:26 - 1:01
Pedro holding width, Sisi injured
2:11 - 2:47
Restart. Pedro dropping in/out of mid for triangle, and center/right for width or long ball. Play goes down left. Adriano picked off.
2:56 - 3:13
Bartra retrieves long ball. Play up right, poor cross in by Pedro
3:21 - 3:49
Ball recovered in final third. Tiki-taka in center, backs and mids. Play goes down right. Ball mis-passed by Xavi when Pedro cuts in instead of out (more space inside)
3:58 - 4:02
Ball recovered in final third. Sisi down again.
5:18 - 6:00
Restart. Play around the back. Pedro drops in mid to help, ball tackled away but immediately recovered. Play down left, Neymar loses the ball on a failed dribble. 6 minutes gone, and the closest Barça has been to shooting has been Pedro's cross.
6:26 - 6:35
Ball recovered Barça half right side. Iniesta launches long ball to Neymar up the middle, offsides.
6:59 - 7:02
Goal kick recovered Barça half left side. Neymar has ball tackled away in center while settling a hard Cesc pass.
7:15 - 7:52
Osasuna loses ball to touchline left side their half. Play around the back. Long ball to right controlled by Montoya/Pedro, but no room and circulated back. Play down left, Adriano dribbles across, Pedro breaks in behind, clever run between rightback/centerback . Adriano puts through ball in but angled slightly too far ahead, pass direct to keeper. Best chance yet.
8:06 - 8:07
Goal kick recovered, Osasuna half right side. Ball tackled off Pedro as he settles Montoya's header.
8:31 - 8:45
Throw-in left side, Barça half. Osasuna recovers
9:14 - 9:30
Puyol intercepts long ball Barça final third left side. Pedro brings ball up middle, lays off to Montoya, continues run, then cuts outside. Montoya 1-2 back to Pedro, who lays it back to Montoya up the middle to set him up clear to shoot at 18-yard box. Montoya puts the ball to far ahead and it's tackled away. Best move of the game so far, best chance yet for Barça, created by Pedro. Montoya 1v1 with keeper had he controlled his dribble better.
9:49 - 9:58
Thrown-in final 3rd. Xavi tries to hit Neymar run, blocked. Recovered Iniesta, crosses over-the-top to Pedro on right, but the pass is way off.
10:35 - 11:16

11:27 - 11:53
Ball recovered off throw-in left side Barça half. Across to free Montoya at half line, advances, dishes to Cesc on right. Pedro between CBs, runs to wall pass for Cesc between CB/RB. Slightly off, but onto Iniesta's foot. Played around to Adriano, squares ball into box, but behind Neymar. Cleared out of bounds.
12:04 - 12:39
Throw-in left, final third. Hard Adriano pass across the box intercepted, but recovered. Played around the back, up the middle/left to Cesc. Neymar/Iniesta/Cesc triangle, Neymar into box. Foul/penalty not called.
14:01 - 15:17
Goal kick Barça after push-off foul in Barça box. Play around back, tiki-taka right side, retreat, then down left. Back to mid, switch to right. Montoya/Pedro boxed in, so back to Xavi. Launched to Adriano on left, pass on target, but Adriano mishits his cross.
