Those ...

Shed a tear for Pedro's last elite first touch in and around the penalty area.

So who do we blame for his decline. :eusa_think:

His wife/gf? His kid? His dog? Song?

:eusa_think:

Messi's son is the reason

Pedro used to make cracking longshot goals like #3 and #1, then they just stoped.
2009-10 season was his first, and best season.

just in to show some support for good old pedro in this bad period. Hope his form pick up soon enough! I want to see him like he played for us last fall and before.

This should be renamed to Greatest Pedro Goals for the 2 seasons he was actually good.

That video made me sad. What happened to him...

Got called up for Spain. I'm surprised. I would drop him if I were VDB.

Was watching some videos from ierahdtv, then I found this beautiful play with Ray hudson's commentary. Guess who had to ruin it ?

He was important in build up though and did very well there.

True, but that was really some poor finishing.

Not just Pedro, most of our players prefer that instead of simply smashing it in.

Guardiola´s departure. It´s pretty obvious he has one of the players that benefit the most from the pep era. The great coaches turn average players into great for some seasons. That´s why Pep did.

Correct, play wouldn't have left the Barça half without him. You can argue he should have done better with the placement of his one-touch redirection shot from Montoya's somewhat fortunate tackle/pass (which, from Pedro's angle, looked likely to be blocked behind the goal line), but one can't Monday morning quarterback what would have gone in (high, low, back post) and what the keeper/defenders would have blocked. He tried to punch it behind keeper low near post, which was a decent choice, as the keeper had started to move away from the post towards the center- a few inches over it's in. What he did do correctly was take it on one touch- any hesitation, and the defenders close the opening.
