You don't have to be a fanboy to recognize Pedro isn't better than Neymar at 1-2 passing. Pedro's complete and utter lack of form doesn't have a single thing to do with Lucho, either, or else you'd have to blame Pep, Tito, and Tata as well for all the seasons where he's been similarly dreadful.

Pedro better at 1-2s is another argument made up out of thin air. Neymar improved significantly on short passing over the time he's been here, I watched clips of his first season and now he seems country miles better in this aspect. Neymar is clearly the much better player already despite being 5 years younger.
I agree though on the 'more conservative and calculating player' part. Here you're right.

Don't see how Pedro is better at 1-2s. Even if he is, the difference between him and Neymar is minimal.
As for dribbling well and being a conservative and calculating player then that's what we usually don't need. We need our players upfront to take risks and try to make a difference themselves and not just look for Messi to do absolutely everything.

The less he plays the better.
Him coming on changed the game completely. Would play him instead of Neymar against Man City and White City.
We saw Pedro starting against Rayo. He did absolutely nothing during whole game. How difficult is it for people to understand that he performs (relatively) well as a sub, because defenders are often tired?
But Pedro holds the ball better. And is better at 1-2s. Haven't you heard?

Doesn't matter if some of you guys think pedro should start over neymar. Thankfully lucho does not share your opinion. It is like how every one wanted dani alves to drop out for montoya but lucho stuck with alves and see the results. You can't expect neymar to play every match well, actually no player can unless he is leo messi. He already got some rest, so tiredness might not be the main reason. He just needs his confidence and form back and he will only get it by starting.

I swear to god that bolded part could apply to Pedro as well
I'm just taking the piss, by the way. I don't think there are many people out there who would start Pedro over Neymar.

For that to happen, pedro has to start lol
btw tiredness is not the main reason, it is a typo.
Neymar sometimes doesn't play well and he often slows down the game, but he has something Pedro will never have - he's clinical finisher, especially in important matches. How often has he scored for us in big matches this year? Real, PSG ... And Atletico have nightmares of him, he got under their skin.

Left side was much livelier once Xavi and Pedro were on the pitch, and they were also able to bring Suarez into play for the first time in the match. Good job.

Suarez got more space and it was easier to attack as Eibar pushed more men forward in last 20 mins as 2-0 down.
Xavi came on and improved ball retention, Pedro never really changed anything and I like Pedro.
