Pedro Rodriguez

[Devils]

No surprise, Pedro is a wonderful player and I'm so happy he has a important role in Conte's Chelsea.

Conte really makes me dislike Chelsea a lot less.

Really happy to see Pedro performing the way I knew he could here at Chelsea. I think he deserves his place in the team over Willian right now, although Willian will work better against certain teams.

watched the game yesterday and looked alive .. not easy at all to push willian to the bench

He's better than Willian.

Could have had 3 goals yesterday. Valdes' save, a volley on the run that was an inch too high (hit crossbar and dropped down and out instead of down and in), and an attempted assist rolled towards back post that he might have done better to shoot. Combines well with Hazard and Costa.

Almost goals
Almost assists

Brandy- almost doesn't count

Anyways good that he's doing well.

We should have taken him instead of Paco if Munir was considered that bad

Gasgas seriously? He wanted to leave himself, remember?

Pedro always denied he wanted to leave Barcelona. I don't think he wanted to leave. He was pushed out - the same way Arda has been shoe-horned in.

Really? You have sources?

Doesn't he mean it in the vein of actually wanting to stay, but it not being a smart choice because of so little playing time?

Actually, scored and assisted vs ManU, and two assists and a goal vs Everton. Conte's tactical change fits his style. Joint assist leader for Chelsea, I believe.

And do what exactly , stay on the bench game after game ? He's not good enough to be in the starting 11 and he deserves to be on a team who will play way more than barca would.

Pedro wasn't pushed out. We had Munir and Sandro as backups afterwards, no-one wanted him to leave, but he couldn't accept more benchtime, and therefore wanted to move where he could play more regularly.

Later on he has regretted the move, then been very happy about it, and sometime in the middle said that he wants to retire at Barca if possible. I'm sure he could have stayed here, as a first-priority-sub, if he wanted.

Google it, you will find plenty of articles where he states he doesn't want to leave. I believe him.

A slight push and was gone. The total opposite to Arda - who the club actively tried to remove but he wouldn't budge.

I put Barca's interest and benefit ahead of player's

Him staying would have been better for Barca
