Mavericky Puig

[Bobo32]

Was rather average. I'm trying hard to see what's special about him, but seem to miss it. Has very little positional sense, random player roaming around trying to impose himself. Tries to be very vertical and can be flashy, but I'd say that's about it. Steep downgrade from Pedri.

Very different opinion:
Firstly, I don't think Puig is that flashy at all.
His positional sense is close to 100% to me; pause the game, and you will see him positioned perfectly between the lines, between the lanes, at all times. He knows when to go forward and when to go towards the ball, nice timing on this. He helps his team mates.
He also knows what's around him, when he can take one, two or more touches. He can solve situations through easy passes, but he can also find team mates between the lines or behind the defence.
He is very effortless in his play, wants the ball often, but keeps out of other players spaces.

Pedri often recieves the ball in tight spaces with no way out, forced to play it backwards or to try some crazy dribble. Pedri is more flashy, but less good as a midfielder for a team that tries to control the game.

Pedri is just the talent with a higher ceiling and better current ability, that is clear by now. Puig can do fine as a bench option.

Puig seems more of a finisher than Pedri though.

Puig haters makes me laugh. He was by far one of the best in the game. I hope, he gets more time in La Liga

You lost all of your credibility when you said Puig right now is world clasd midfielder or on the level of Iniesta lol.

Combine all of Puig's minutes in league for Barca B and Barca: only 3 goals.

More of a goalscorer???

Just my gut feeling from this season. Puig seems more confident to take shots than Pedri.

Koeman: "Riqui did well, especially when playing through the lines. We made changes to freshen things up."

Koeman: "I think both Trinc?o and Riqui have been good, they've done a good job, although the pitch wasn't in the best condition for them."

I said Iniesta was a world class midfielder in 2004 as well though, and that they should play the "tres amigos" regularly. Let's see if I'm right in my Puig judgement, I'm rarely very wrong but it has happened.

Nice, I hope Puig is winning him over. If so, Koeman might be winning me over by a bit; it is of course necessary not to let the youngsters go out of their head
I would be a terrible coach for Puig, or Busquets, or Messi.
