I really am overdoing it now as it his peak, he was the best striker ever, but he actually reminds me of his compatriot R9 more than Henry.
Obviously I’m not saying he’s good as him (yet!) but definite similarities with the way he holds off defenders and runs with the ball.
I’m astonished at...
He really does doesn’t he?! Can’t believe he’s our player and we only had to pay £30m for him on the evidence of these two games so far.
We’re going to piss off a lot of other PL fans again this season when they start asking how we’ve done it again with the JP and Adingra signings.
Put it down to it being his first game but Buonanotte has got some work to do to catch up with the rest of the team. Looks some way off the others here.
Joao Pedro’s strength, pace and ability to turn his man is going to be a huge asset for us with the way we play passes through the middle. He’s held the ball up, outmuscled his defender, turned and run at them with ease every time. So unlucky not to create a goal there.
It’s wonderful to see.
