I have to agree with Bojan that Puyol's performance against Villareal was below par. He looked shaky at the back, maybe it's due to partnership with Pique. I think he was complacent.
One of his worst performance in last games; this rest will do him well I reckon. Pep should try with some rotations in defense again maybe with Rafa and Martin.
Offside trap really looked poor. I`m sorry to repeat myself but they tricked Puyol-Pique 3 or 4 times + few more but the assistant saved us with calling when onside.
He got injured again I think. Suspicious substitution for Sylvinho, and when he went to the benches he was immediatley assisted by some medics and had a bag of ice on his thigh. Guess he wasn´t fully recovered after all ..
