Yeah he has played much better, but I think it was still a bit impressive. His touch and technique are great, he got himself out of a few situations very well there in the beginning of that video. I like the intentions with his movements a lot of the time, as well as his intensity.
He should've scored there though, and he should've played at least one pass on the inside in the game, it was pretty much only recieve on the outside - pass it along on the outside. It was also only 35 attempted passes in his 66 mins, he was too little involved.
Also as an aside: I counted him falling down on the grass eight times in that video, that is quite much...
The long pass to him at 1:37 his first touch dunno if he was controlling for himself or intended for Auba but shanked pretty badly. The missed goal way extremely off target, however difficult the half volley was. 2:18 another medium range pass to him his first touch lost him possession and he immediately fouls the player. He needs to improve his first touch from passes that aren't soft. No key passes. I remember watching live he had an average Torres-esque match but didn't comment at the time, yes of course Puig would've easily done more.
