Was he that bad for Brighton? Seems like he’ll be playing right under Delap. Good combo those two.
His build up play has always been good, his finishing is very very questionable for a team going the direction chelsea want to head towards ,which I'm guessing is top 3( challenging), people like to harp on about Jackson's finishing but Pedro misses a lot of easy chances too.
But he did good yesterday , west Hams defensive instructions looked shocking, but his cross for the goal was good and his headers instinctive, he had a shout for MOTM not sure why Estevao got it, my shout was Caicedo.
And you have watched him enough to stand by your convictions, yes? Because to most who've watched every minute since joining Chelsea, he has looked nothing short of brilliant. And full context is not just his goals and assists or the quality of opposition. His technical ability, spatial awareness, ball striking, work rate - it's been Palmer level good.
Yes, I've watched him before he joined chelsea , he misses a lot of chances , and no he hasn't been " Palmer level good" he's been good since he joined, nothing special , again he missed a lot of chances last season and no his ball striking isn't on such a level, you're saying such because he scored a goal in the CWC from outside the box, his ball striking is average ,that is known.
I don’t know brother, seems to me he’s going to have a fine season. Seems very happy at Chelsea
He has started well but I wouldn't say "Palmer level" , I've always rated his build up play, it's just the rest I'm not a huge fan of.
If I'm wrong at the end of the season I will hold my hand up, but if I'm right...I suggest this thread to be locked
Can the OP of this thread be changed so it isn't a raging Andrew Tate fan?
Sadly the tweet isn't showing up in my phone, but I hope you're not referring to the " cole palmer " levels or his ball striking ability, Coles level when he first arrived was much greater than what we are currently seeing from Pedro and other than that worldie he scored in the CwC , his ball striking ability has been pretty average since then, Pedro is definitely not known for his striking ability, good start though , will be interesting how he plays against tougher defences like we saw against Palace, again, good start from him but I'm confident it will fizzle out against tougher opponents.
During his time at Brighton he would score regularly against the biggest teams; the critique of him there was that he didn't score enough vs minnows. It's an odd critique given that context.
I mentioned a tougher defence, Palace isn't one of the biggest teams but there current defence is strong, his 2 goals came from set pieces if I remember correctly,not saying it's worth any less, just stating he will find it much harder against tougher defences during open play , his build up play has been ace, I've always rated that part of his game,it's his goal scoring, shooting ability I don't rate, his past seasons have shown such evidence.
He scored home and away last year against Arsenal, the best defense in the Prem
I don't understand what you are trying to say. Yes of course many great players struggled to score against tough defense. Doesn't mean they are bad.
Went off injured yesterday according to Livescore, is he alright?
no clue, sorry
Chunder is a great word.
Are there some photos that we just shouldn't share because the person wouldn't want them shared?
Nah share away, we want gossip to get us through this international break.
Feel free to avert your bright eyes.
He scored a penalty and a goal that fell into his path from a save from minta's one on one if I remember correctly, nothing that put a strain on the " best defense in the premier league, "
I've watched Brighton enough to know his goals last season was more of " right place, right time" and not individual brilliance , being in the right place is great but it also shows why most of his premier league goals came from the spot in his last 2 full seasons.
Take a look at his goals last season,tell me if I'm lying.
His build up play was good though.

You keep shifting the goalposts for some reason. Your original point was that you are "sure it will fizzle out against better opponents".
If he scores home and away vs Arsenal again this year I couldn't give less of a feck if they're tap-ins or penalties or whatever.
How do they clean something like this??
They just piss it away
If it were at Stamford Bridge the protocol is to grab Cucurella and use his head as a mop. Dunno what they do in Brazil though.
It's a lot less bover with a hover!
That's disgusting. He should get a 2 match ban in the league
Nah ball was wide right, Martinelli made an early darting run to the near post but the ball was played in the air and behind him towards the penalty spot; Pedro came steaming in trying to head it, couldn't get on the end of it, and clattered Martinelli who was basically just standing there. Definitely ball watching but it wasn't really his fault.
Bring David Luiz out of retirement
Today was the first time I've seen him and I was really impressed. He glides on the pitch.
Really dropped the ball not getting him from Watford when we were linked, his potential was clear to see when playing for them.
Not impressed by him at all, but he has time on his side.
It's obvious he's not a striker though. He thrives when he plays off a battering ram like Delap, who can hold the ball up as well occupy defenders and stretch the defence with runs in behind. Those are not things Pedro excels at. Whenever he starts up front, we always lack a presence in the box because his tendencies are to drop deep and link play.
He’d be very good in a formation like ours playing off a striker.
I like him. Brave lad with an eye for goal. Kind of reminds me of the qualities SAF admired in Cristiano.
Poor mans Richarlison.
Isn't he busy threatening women who don't want to have sex with him?
Reminds me of Gabriel Jesus. Good player. Likely not good enough, though.
