Copa 1/8 Final: Rayo Vallecano - FC Barcelona 1-2

Firpo and Griezmann been awful.

Only players looking sharp on ball been Busi, Lenglet and at times FDJ.

Trincao sloppy but posing some danger and should have two pens.

Id say Puig had a strong start at the beginning but fizzled out as time went on.

We could be 3-0 up if we had a cutting edge but that’s the story of our season.

Id say Puig had a strong start at the beginning but fizzled out as time went on.

His last 10 mins or so were bad. First half an hour he was good. Almost scored, had a few actions where he opened up the play nicely. He presses a lot upfront too.

 

[Total-Football]

Folk think he is playing well. Cant see it so far.

Not having much impact at all.

Well people are not saying he is "he should start" good.. Just that he deserves more minutes than his bullshit 88 min subs on

 

[BusiTheKing]

Firpo is very bad on the ball

He wasnt really doing much in that first half hour either. Certainly nothing to be praised as playing well. Was having sloppy moments then as well.

Araujo needs to do something about his composure on the ball. Or else it's gonna stop him from reaching his potential.

Talking about this game and 'Puig MVP'. No chance he was.

He is getting more minutes.

Yeah he shites himself under slightest pressure and defers square ball. Needs to improve on it big time.

When has a lot of space can make some decent longer balls out wide but is not confident at all if slightest hint of pressure.

Puig and Busquets has vision and understanding a level above the rest of the players. Messi should be one level above them, but he is also relying on physicality and is clearly out of form today. De Jong has made some mistakes that has more to do with style than sloppiness, I think he is a player that needs to be 'carried' in a way. I still love him!

Puig is underperforming for me, but has still made 5-10 great things, some of which are very hard to do, and some that are pretty easy but still isn't done by most players. But he makes too many mistakes, not his best game.

You are trying to hard and seeing things that have not been there for Puig in that half. He was average to poor.

It will come with experience.

 

[Gnidrologist]

The whole team is average to poor. Not even getting the ball out of their half properly. And it has been in the last few matches, despite positive final scores.

 

[mc_lovin]

Puig always looks like he has no clue where he wants to go. Just improvising on the way.

Hes good to watch though.
