8 - Pedri

[jamrock]

I turn on my YouTube what's the first thing I see ESPN+ talking about pedri.

If Barca wins the CL or Spain the WC he's getting the ballon d'or.

 

[Temptation]

I think most casual fans know those two

But the reaction to pedri these last few games in England and on social media, it's like they saw prime Iniesta.

When that's just another game for pedri.

Are you sure it was PL fans or just Newcastle fans and Paul Scholes?

Because the hosts and fans on Sky Sports social, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry have been waxing lyrical about Pedri for ages now.

Yet when they all praise FDJ they are wrong and likes of Tonali and fucking Tielamans are better...

Calma.

FDJ schooled Joelinton because of his talent, IQ and technique not pure physicality. Joelinton is a beast physically.

lol..Just because you append the list of skills involved does not negate what I said. Classic tempt tactic when feeling is losing argument.

You need to have strong balance and resistance as to not lose balance when they make contact with momentum and you are standing still.

Yeah he is massively rated in England.

Folk moaning about EPL fans opinions when same folk think Tonali and Tielamans are better than Frenkie.

It would make sense, if it was Newcastle fans, they've probably never seen a player like him.

Most are too busy watching the EPL and working, so it would make sense

Barca, a good iterration of it at least, won't let physical teams, especially average ones like Newcastle, bully them physically.

Newcastle is a good team generally but not in this match-up. They are far from a Chelsea side with Drogba, Essien, Ashley Cole, Lampard etc.

I can see that no team can physically bully Barça anymore

Inter game we held our own very well and only small details such as set pieces screwed us up otherwise

 

[RedxMAK]

Also Icl if we had Joan Garcia, I reckon we wouldn’t concede 2 of those 7 goals.

No one in their right mind has ever compared this Newcastle team to that Chelsea one.

Wont happen.

Not the current ones imo. Past great defensive sides could dominate our current team physically. Mid to late 00s Chelsea, Mourinho Inter, mid 10s Simeone Atletico. Far higher level sides than current Newcastle.

 

[JamDav1982]

The midfield absolutely dominated Inter.

FDJ was the best midfielder over the two legs by a long way in both teams. He utterly schooled Barella.

Only so much can do when concede two corners and concede from both at home and then Araujo forgets how to defend in dying minutes.

Maybe you need to try it out sometime and not lose an argument for a change.......

 

[FCBarca]

He isn't an agressive dribbler like Iniesta though his technique is on par with The Don.

Of course he can dominate the game by different way.

I think that direct dribbling came in time even with Andres IIRC but at 22, so much time for his game to evolve yet
