Ouch! So harsh on the Colombian. Do you say the same about Filipe Luis? lol

He knows that league, he has experience and played there already, I won't be surprised to see him shining again.

Pedro, welcome to Chelsea and thank you for that dream performance! What a start! He didn't waste any time did he? We have lacked an elite RW for a while now and his quality and the difference he brings was evident. One player can drastically change the way things are done. This move has fixed a lot of problems for us offensively.
1. A top class RW.
2. Direct runs
3. Tracks back
4. Pressure off of Hazard.
5. Hopefully Willian in the centre.
Willy is a great squad player but watching Pedro is more evidence that Willian was doing a decent job while playing out of position but could never realistically be world class player in that area.
It is early days but I have a good feeling about this lad.
KTBFFH!

I don't think Willian will improve much playing as a number 10 either to be honest, I prefer Oscar over him. For me Willian lacks vision and he is way to indecisive for our attacking play. His finishing is also very poor.

I too had this view until the start of the new season. I have long defended Cuadrado on here especially last season but when the opportunity arrived he showed nothing other than looking nervous and overawed by playing for us.
I accept he didn’t start many games and was more often than not used at a 60-80 minute sub when we are looking for a goal or some creativity but in all of those cameos bar 1 game at the end of the season he was dire. This season has been the exact same, he was terrible in pre season (The one I kept suggesting he needed DOH!) and that continued on for the past few weeks.
At a big club like this passengers will not be tolerated (unless your name is Ivanovic) so you have to make the most of the chances you are given, look at Pedro on Sunday! He gave his all and basically laid down a marker saying unless you can do better this is my place in the team…Cuadrado never once done than in nearly 8 months…Pedro done it in 45 minutes.
It’s a shame for both parties but he looks like a fish out of water in English football and we could play him match after match and I get the impression he’d be as much of a flop as he has already been.
I wish him well at Juve and hopefully he settles back into the Italian game and we can recoup as much of the fee as we can because he has no future here.

Like Benitez, we should never mention his name again.

If he had scored a hat trick, a lot of people in this thread would be singing a different tune
