I have always strongly preferred Willian in a Chelsea team over Pedro, but this season, under Sarri’s new style of football Pedro looks re-energised and a real goal scoring threat in games. Agst Cardiff, even though he did not score, I thought he was outstanding. For the first time I think he is my preferred choice over Willian, certainly for home games anyhow. He could be the real surprise player of the season and I can see him getting 20 goals easily if he can maintain this form.

Yeah agree summer, not a lot of people notice it, but I see it nearly every game, rather than sprint to a loose ball, he would rather "shepherd" the play, and run alongside a striker, or let them get to the ball first. Then get's in an avoidable one on one. Very frustrating.

I think pedro has been fantastic for us, the type of player that doesn't care for passing % or something not working out, he is a real spark that will always try to go forward and he is a great finisher. he has not been utilised correctly with us, but has still put in a string of good performances the last couple of years. A shame we never had him, mata and hazard all at once.
He is also imo the hardest working player in our team, especially pressing wise.

Hardest working player is obviously Kante.
Anyway Pedro has been good and deserves to start ahead of Willian. He’s the best finisher we have in our squad. Needs to improve his dribbling.

Pedro is a way overlooked player. He is the most direct attacking player we have ok he makes som e slipups from time to time but hes a little jack russell of a player. Everytime i take the Tour of Stamford bridge people litterally push and shove to get to hazards place i make a beeline for Pedros great little player and a great buy at the time. He is though a little rash in the tackle sometimes but hes not considered big enough to cause much damage.

Isn't he like 43 now? Don't think he will be improving anything.

Pedro is a system player, one who's main strengths are movement, pressing and combination play.
Give him a Pep, Sarri or even a happy/on form Conte and he will shine, but you can never expect him to be the type of player that will be the shining light in a team suffering a crisis or not playing very well, like what the likes of Willian, Hazard and Mata have been for us on various occasions.
So for that reason if the team aren't playing well and relying more on individual quality to get us through i'd choose Willian, but when the team is on it and firing Pedro gets the odd all day long for me.
