Pedro couldve gone off much sooner, the dude was garbo

Oh no, I am quite logical. Only an "Idiot" would make up something so stupid.

Well actually I would of took of Pedro for Alexis, not Villa...so perhaps not flawless, but I give him credit for bringing the correct players on at the right times rather than who came off.

thats just rude

I think the reason for taking off Villa was more to do with the fact that he was tired. The guy is 31, you can't expect him to play with that intensity for 90 minutes.

To be honest, I'm not impressed by Pedro at all. Apart from his workrate, he has zero confidence and eagerness in himself to take on a player and have shot and is always looking for Messi. As I said before, he's turned into a pivot on the wing and you can't classify him as a a winger nor a forward.

Thats true, at his age, inconsistent playing time and how much we pressed im sure he was feeling it.

Agree about Pedro, I did feel he made more runs into the channels and in behind more off the ball but that aside yeah...

My favorite Barca Manager of all time, finally getting some recognition.

Hats off to the biggest Madrid supporter of all time.

Pedro has been bad for a long time, the fact Sanchez can come on and make an impact and he couldn't says it all Laughing

I'm glad roura didn't screw up, Burma it was nothing new. we played this exact same team and tactics in CL final 2011 and other games.

Sure dude, Alexis is better than Pedro. just watch hAlexis cement this status by leaving this summer.

Doubt this was all Roura...

We both know there are political reasons involved :coffee:

They have the same amount of assists and and Alexis has one less goal in 17 less starts :coffee:

You can't argue with the facts :coffee:

I thought statistics weren't important to you...?

Regardless of the goals and assists, Pedro is playing much better overall than Alexis.

That he makes an impact in some games coming in towards the end it's only logical since opposition is tired and he is fresh.

I'm not against the guy though, he is a good backup and rotation player, but he should cut his salary in half to compensate for the transfer fee paid. If not, he should be sold.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:00 pm

They are not but this is quick and easy....

Pedro playing? i hadn't noticed Laughing

he does nothing all game you could put Ramires from Chelsea on the wing and he would contribute more.

Its time you accept Pedro has been garbage for 2 seasons :coffee:

Sure, sure, you should do well understanding this is a team game. And we play better with Pedro.

Roura is a great coach, he has Messi :coffee:

by danyjr Wed Mar 13, 2013 6:20 pm

Pedro better than Alexis? Please...Pedro is absolute garbage these days. If you take his workrate away from him, he is a 2nd division player. Winger? Inside forward? No, he's a pivot you pass to get a pass back. That is pretty much the only contribution he makes when possessing the ball.

by free_cat Wed Mar 13, 2013 6:58 pm

Sure, he is a 2nd division player starting for the best club and national team in the world. kids these days...

by Madvillain Wed Mar 13, 2013 7:06 pm

Don't really feel like going into this debate but saying Pedro is currently playing much better than Alexis simply isn't true free. Let's be honest about this.

The world knows it. Get over it.

Pedro is invisible ffs.
I'd rather try Deulofeu or something

by The Sanchez Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:30 pm

I thought this was an appreicate thread of Roura not a comparison of two forwards...

by paperbackwriter Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:34 pm

Pedro doesn't interfere with the main game plan which is pass the ball around until Messi find enough space so that he can try to score or try to play the final ball. Sanchez does.

by Doc Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:59 pm

Gotta hand it to Jordi. His best friend is in the hospital being treated, he was hired to do a job he didn't want in the first place and most Barcelona fans (internet wise) think you're not up to scratch and for the most part, he is handling it as best as he could.

Barcelona still lead La Liga comfortably (not his full doing but he kept the ship sailing) and guided them to the quarters. So, Jordi has my appreciation. He also has a fabulous chin.

Oh and Sanchez is way better than Pedro, the Feline is talking nonsense here...

by hispano(old) Thu Mar 14, 2013 4:26 am

Honestly I don't think Jordi deserve such praise. Barca themselvesdeserve praise for convincing themselves that they could it. Heck I'd praise Pique & Messi.
