True, saying salah/cuad/schurrle/traore/musonda could have done as good a job as pedro yesterday with burnley playing the way they were is "ridiculous"

 

 

HAHAHAH. How old are u lad?

6?

Try to understand things sometimes rather than falling back on abuses.

 

 

Because that "contribution" adds nothing to the team, unless u think we would be winning the league on goal difference

 

 

 

What pedro did last night is what salah/cuadrado/schurrle and I am sure even traore could easily have done. It proofs absolutely NOTHING

 

 

 

 Funny thing is, he has got his "assist" so now people would use that for arguing pedro's uses in the squad.

 

 

 

Great. Go about replying and posting to every post on this forum. Even when it clearly was a discussion between 2 people and your comment has added nothing of value to the discussion.

Etiquettes. Well.

 

 

All did not that include a 6-1 drubbing of united at OT. I would associate THAT to the league loss than just scoring a goal extra here or ther.

 

 

I dont know how this loan spell will affect traore. But I think gametime for a 20 year old is way over-rated. 

 

that's just from the past 24 hours or so.

I think this one was my favourite...

"Cant wait for see him do the cry baby act against WHU"

that's just from the past 24 hours or so.

So? 

2 of them re-iterate the same thing that nothing pedro did last night was special and irreplacable by some very talented youth players.

another one was for people who fell back on pedro's "7goal" argument when discussing his performance for last season, totally neglecting the level of the teams he scored each of those 7 goals against.

Another was for a poster who seems to have taken a special interest in me and does not even have the basic manners of quoting me when putting in something snarky.

Dont see the "ridiculousness" in any of these. 

But i do see some other trends here. 

And how many times has this happened in the history of english football?

Like i said, should we buy romelu just in case we are 2-0 up and need goals on the counter. We all know he is a beast in that.

In the top division? Six times. As an interesting aside, we also won the Second Division in 1984 on goal difference.

 

That's not really the point though, there have been countless occasions when goal difference has decided between two league positions which weren't at the top. More importantly in the Burnley game, it sealed the result beyond doubt at a point when we were starting to look complacent and lose concentration.

 

Why on earth do I have to argue that scoring more goals is a good thing?

Ha ha, absurd isn't it. The lengths some of our fans go to slag of our own players amazes me sometimes.

No, the point is NOT if scoring more goals is a good thing. If u had cared to read through my posts you would have understood it.

The point is, is it worth having pedro in the squad over Musonda/Traore? Could they not replace pedro's role and contribution to the squad

Your argument: Pedro's contribution - i.e. brilliantly creating a goal adds nothing to the team. Ergo , your argument is that more goals isn't inherently a good thing.

 

Musonda, Traoré and Pedro are all completely different players.

Some of us dont have english as our first language.

Maybe i should have worded it as "GD being a priority for winning the league" rather than points, hence the reason i said that united did not lose it on GD, but more because they got thrashed at OT 6-1

They are vying for the same spot. Specially musonda and pedro, and given an oppurtunity, I would take traore as a winger than pedro given that he had looked good playing there.

simply has to start ahead of Willian, we dont have enough goal threats in attack, Willian and Moses are not good enough to be starting, Pedro needs to get a run in the team!

Seriously? Pedro? Overrated Barcelona has-been. I would prefer Kenedy over him. A shame he wasn't sold.

call him what you want, he is a quality player, needs a run in the team, fact is he is the 3rd biggest goal threat in our entire squad behind Costa and Batshuayi, Pedro should be starting ahead of Willian!

Pedro quality player haha.

Not fit for the prem, ship him off to Valencia or somewhere. 

yeah was our 2nd top scorer last season in the PL! after taking time to settle into a new team, in a new league and country, and not just any team a team that was a complete mess! if Pedro starts regularly ahead of Willian for the rest of the season he will score at least 10 PL goals! not like Willian and Moses who cant finish their dinners! but yeah Pedro isnt fit for the PL. 

How misleading can stats possibly be?

Pedro WAS our 2nd highest scorer in PL, unfortunately, the quality of opposition that he scored against shows his quality too. WBA, Sundeland, Newcastle, Villa, Bournemouth. Just like Oscar - SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

 

as if thats a problem! he is not our main source for goals so that is not an issue, its still better then Willian who can barley score any goals form open play! and now his freekicks arent going in anymore, there is no need for him. Pedro should get a run in the team as he can actually finish and make clever runs in dangerous positions, with Fabregas and Luiz playing balls through to Costa and Pedro we instantly become a bigger threat in front of goal! rather then persisting with Willian who has very poor end product!

HAHAHHA. Who here thinks Pedro's play is anywhere near willians? Is pedro even next in line. If i remember Moses was subbed in against Swansea instead of pedro.

We are a team currently who lack in creativity severly (without Cesc). And one of the few people who actually provides some dynamism/support to costa and hazard by pulling defenders off them should be replaced by a person who has a hard time holding on to a ball.

Fortunately, Pedro is in a place where he belongs - ON THE BENCH. thats where he belonged at barca, at chelsea or any club which actually desires winning trophies and leagues.  

Chelsea are lacking goal threats! We only have Costa and sometimes Hazard when he is in the mood, Willian offers virtually nothing! Pedro would give us more in front of goal then Willian and Moses combined! Conte needs to bring in Fabregas and Pedro and get them to do what Pirlo and Lichtsteiner done so effectively at Juventus, with Pedro constantly making runs in behind the opposition LB and Cesc pinging balls through to him, that would be much more effective then giving it to Willian to do absolutely nothing with the ball! 

and its laughable to say Pedro belonged on the bench at Barca, yet he started and scored in the CL Final against Man United! and literally started 100's of games in trophy winning Barca teams! always chipping in with goals! something Willian would never be capable of. But yeah Pedro belonged on the bench at Barca.

He is sh*te tbf though

Pedro starting for Barca in a CL final 5 years ago is not ANY indication of his quality whatsoever. This is REAL LIFE, not FIFA. Get up and smell the coffee. The guy has stagnated. Cast aside. Its laughable that PEDRO a 28 year old left barcelona for actually wanting first team action. But apparently he was not a bench player because over the course of his career he played 100 games. Some people with their hilarious logic. Its like saying mikel is not a squad player because he has played 300? games for chelsea and played against Bayern munich in the CL final. Sometimes people should think things through

Why am I even trying to debate Pedro's uses. The guy is behind willian and probably even moses in conte's systems. For a player whose USP is only and only goal scoring, his finishing is absolutely atrocious and hit and miss. Our problem is as much not having goal scorers as it is that we are not creating chances for our goal scorer. The liverpool game was an indication of that. Currently you give costa a half decent chance and he will score, but we could not even provide that. With pedro we only get worse in that department. Sorry, but not good enough and not required.
