Pedro

Love the way when hazard has the ball costa comes to support which sucks over 3 or 4 players leaving pedro 1 on 1 with the last defender.

think he scored in the CL final that year too
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No Nick, both Super Cups (Spanish and European) and Club World Cup final, but they didn't make the CL final in 09/10 and he only played one minute in the 08/09 game.

Another curiosity is that due to those 'extra cups' being scheduled in the last part of the year, he actually set that record not just over the course of an entire year or season, but in just 4 months: 16th Aug-16th Dec.

Pedro doing brilliantly but I think we will need Willian soon. Maybe even tomorrow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Willian can play in Alonso's position.

Hes certainly grown on me and this i think is a lot to do with both him plugging away and the new system.

I would arge though he isnt really keeping Willian out the team. At the time of change Willian was sick/mourning and everything had caught up with him, he looked knackered and needed a rest, what I saw on Saturday gives me high hopes of seeing a back to form Willy.

I agree though its great to have 2 good players who compliment each other - it should also further reduce the appearance of Oscar who I desperately hope is sold in jan.

what did u see on saturday? Willian hardly touched the ball and when he did he gave it away?

Hull game he scored a peach though.

Nah I get that frustration from last season. He's a player who lives on manipulating spaces/channels, he's decent with the ball but is most effective off it... last season we were a mess, weren't moving the ball well, thus Pedro had no space to exploit, didn't know where to be and became utterly useless.

He needs players around him who know their roles so he can support them/know where to be on the pitch, which runs to make. He's almost like an off the ball playmaker if that makes sense
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with this on the whole. Pedro's most salient attribute (along with his two-footedness) is his dynamism, both for his own benefit and his teammates'. As you rightly pointed out, in a team that's more static he's going to find it hard to make an impact.

That eh at I said earlier
