5 - Carles Puyol

[jamrock]

6 goals with el capitan back, coincidence?, I think not!!!

 

[Galning]

I think he did alright. A bit unlucky with some of his interceptions. Sometimes he would recover a ball twice and it would still fall to a Ray player

Martino: "Puyol was subbed off because he had some discomfort in his back. But until then he played a very good game." #fcblive

 

[Stric]

Why was he putting ice on his knee if he had back discomfort?

 

[Flavia]

I saw him touching his back, and that's what kept him off the game against sociedad. The knee is probably precaution.

 

[JackSparrow]

Its deffinitely no coincidence when he plays we have a clean sheet. He gives so much comfort to that defensive line.
When healthy he is still our best defender. Hope he starts against City, tho I doubt in Tata.

Puyol should start instead of Alba Alves-Pique-Mascherano-Puyol, this way our defence would be stronger.

Puyol against Navas Good joke

Puyol against Navas Good joke

Why not, at least he would stay in his defense position while Alba will be definitely in attack and won't be able to always come back to his position and Puyol is heigher than 170cm Alba.

Did you not see how bad Puyol was against Ajax as a fullback??? Navas would probably do the Di Maria on him all over again

I don't remember, but I remember how Alba played against Valencia.

we might as well not start Busquets or Mascherano either if all you care about is the Valencia game. Against Sociedad midweek, Alba was having a good game as a reserved LB but I bet you conveniently forgot about that.

I am not saying he is a bad defender, but he needs to attack less in important matches and stay more in his defensive position, we have Alves as attacking defender so why Alba needs to go in front as well?

 

[DonAndres]

Alba is more selective of his runs forward anyway, but I'm not going to get caught up in this debate. Puyol at LB would be horrendous at the Etihad. Adriano could work but not Puyol
