8 - Pedri

[jamrock]

Nah he would help because he has the skills to play out of pressure and progress the ball, even when being pressed.

Pedri was losing the ball multiple times when pressed in last few games this season.

Did it against Sevilla, Girona more than once and PSG lost it in bad areas.

But lets pretend otherwise.

Love Pedri but he hasnt been this huge game changer this season in way made out.

Barca struggled in most of his recent matches to dominate midfield fully.

Same with Olympiakos.. they pressed and caused issues until got red card.

Pedri helps.. clearly but not this solve all as made out.

I demand laugh emoji from all that agree below.

Well of course he's gonna lose the ball against PSG & Sevilla, he was the only midfielder actively trying to do anything and move the ball forward, what is he going to do have a 100% success rate at that

Pedri needed rest and he got that now. When a player of his proven quality is making mistakes he did before his injury, it likely is because he is overplayed and lacks the necessary freshness in his legs.

Fake news and he did it multiple times v Girona.

Always excuse for Pedri.

Love him but he has been losing ball in bad areas a lot this season and dribbled past very easily in amongst quality moments also.
