Are you sure that he's Brazilian ? He hasn't got bleached white hair.

To be fair to Fergie, he's only scored one goal fewer than JP, has been injured/ill (cant remember which) and looked sensational against the barcodes.
It's all about game management with both of them.

Both.
Maybe Roberto might start him now?

The most curious thing..
Although he's hardly in the same class as Rivelino, Pele, Jairzinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Neymar etc though.
He’s featured in 13 of our 15 games this season so far and Newcastle aside hasn’t played well. He’s looked his age in a lot of games, not holding the ball up or using it well and looking heavy legged. I don’t blame him, personally I think he’s played too much this year for his age and he needs a break. And Pedro offers us far more at the moment anyway and should be first choice every game he’s fit.
Led the line brilliantly tonight, what a player this kid is! 
Desperately hope we start him and Fati again on Sunday.

Jonny Cantor said of his attempts to rev the crowd up that he reminded him of Knockaert, someone who wants the best from the crowd to give his best back

He just has to learn when to try the fancy flicks and when to play it simple, when to be selfish and go for goal and when to lay it off. Once he has sorted these parts of his game, we will see the best of him.
Fati, I think showed him how to do it yesterday for the second goal. I suspect if it had been JP running with the ball, he wouldn't have laid it off to Adingra, but would have tried to shoot himself.

Joao Pedro came on for the injured Vinicius Junior in the first half of the World Cup qualifier for Brazil away versus Colombia. Currently 1-0 to Brazil at half-time. He'll probably start against Argentina next week. His chance to shine.

Diaz at the double to win it for Colombia. Wild celebrations, with his newly released father watching on emotionally from the stands.
Joao Pedro had a fairly quiet 70 minutes. He'll hopefully get another opportunity to play some part against Argentina next Wednesday night.
The South American qualifiers are rarely dull. An enjoyable watch.

Been doing well for Palmeiras who look like winning the league again after being 12 points behind Botafogo not so long ago. Botafogo doing an Arsenal which is quite funny because of John Textor who, incidentally, had a foul mouthed rant live on TV after a recent match accusing corruption.
