He was one of the better defenders against set pieces.
Watford fans were right
(Not about Welbeck)

Yeah said that in the game. He and Welbz were our first line of defence, both absolutely outstanding leading from the front.
Pray they both stay fit from here on in.
De Zerbi already saying it will be tough to keep him for the next year!!!
PLEASE can we get at least two seasons out of him?! I know the club model but it’s so depressing to think he might not be here next season!

We can survive at this level selling our best players. We won’t survive at this level selling them after one season. He’ll be here until at least next Summer, I’m certain of that.

I wonder if Watford fans ever look at how influential JP, Welbeck, and Estupinan are for us and have a little cry.
Agree.
There’s the aspiration of top 10 and the business model.
Difficult to achieve the former, whilst continually doing the latter…..

That was a weird thing to say, Pedro wasn’t a £6m bargain he cost £30m if he finishes with 25 goals he’s going to cost £130m and I’m wondering who can afford to pay that in the summer in the PL. City although they don’t need him, Arsenal possibly although they can’t keep spending, Chelsea would they dare with another Albion player?
Liverpool don’t need him and don’t go that high.
Man Utd need to sell to meet FFP and so do Newcastle.

Brighton going 9th, 6th, and well on course for another top ten finish, whilst selling Caicedo, Cucurella, Trossard, Bissouma, MacAllister and White is at least supporting the hypothesis that you can sell the best players and finish top 10.
But what could have been achieved if we had kept half of them, I maintain we would have had a title challenge.
Salah to Saudi would change everything for Liverpool.

Definitely my MOM last night, the way he ran past several defenders to set up the opening goal was sublime and wonderful. As others said, whether he plays well or not, his off the ball workrate is always top notch which is not always the case for other 'flair' players. I love him! 
Couldn't make it last night (family visiting) but watched on TV. I loved seeing the close up of Joao bellowing his support from the bench when they announced him as MoM. Still fully involved and contributing. Starting to really like the guy.

There's a LOT to love about him – he's certainly come a long way since he stepped onto the pitch at half time during the Everton massacre!
The one thing that lets him down a bit, for me, is his first touch. More often than not, it's not great and the ball ends up miles away from him – sometimes at the feet of the opposition. But that no way diminishes his many attributes. Possibly the best penalty taker the Albion have ever had?

The thing I am loving at the moment is his improvement at holding the ball up, retaining possession & getting others involved. Earlier in the season anytime the ball was played up to him he would try some sort of flick or turn with it that would never work out. It was very frustrating. Now he seems to use the ball so much better when high up the pitch.

He's scored 5 from open play with 2 assists. Most of the (8) penalties he's also won himself.
He has 13 goals in total, 7 in the PL.
His open play PL goals were the shot v Man Utd (A), the header v Forest (A) , and glancing header v Chelsea (A)

Worrying statement (if true). Would like to think he would be with us for a good couple of years!

This has been talked about elsewhere. I believe De Zerbi just means Pedro is such a great player, that many other clubs would want him. That goes for all our players.
