I think we need another player like him who has ability to hold the ball and make forward passes from defense. Today too many players went hiding. Not wanting the ball.

Pedri obviously improves team but he hasnt been all that amazing this season either for Barca.

Last 5 games he played... Lost to PSG, lost to Sevilla, lost to Real, drawing with Girona.

The other game was Olympiakos at home.. where Barca midfield was shite until they went down to 10 men.

Pedri is one of best in world but he is most likely struggling with team like last night particularly down to 10 men for majority.

Even though we lost to PSG, you could see Pedri's influence in that game; he wasn't afraid to get the ball and was able to hold it, so we battled in midfield.

Against Chelsea, it's like our midfield was lost, a Pedri would've added bit of stability there

Pedri was poor v PSG and lost ball badly a number of times on front of defence as has done a lot lately.

PSG dribbled past him for fun multiple times.

Some good moments but he was not good that game.

Vitinha ran it more and more as went on.

I relly dont think players were hiding.

They just looked a bit stunned at a pace and physicality never get near in La Liga.

I would bet my bottom dollar a lot of those players think EPL is over rated etc and they would show them how it is...

Same Chelsea torn to bits vs Bayern and drew vs Qarabaq

Don't think Pedri helps that much in this midfield formation vs teams like Chelsea. Got beaten in pace, intensity, physicality, and these are exactly the weak points of players like Pedri.
