Imagine how shit you have to be in training that he manager gives dead man Pjanic and a 17-year old rookie, chances before you.

Completely lose his place to Moriba who is also 3 years younger.
Should consider a loan move if Koeman suggests him again this summer.

Went from not getting trusted to getting more trust and back to not being trusted again.

If Koeman does stay, I think he's going on loan in the summer. It's pretty obvious that Koeman prefers Moriba a lot more.

I still don't understand how Pjanic is getting more minutes than him lately. It's insane to me. Pjanic is an MLS level player currently.

Koeman is not one of those managers who have a bias towards experience. He's given chances to basically every youngster except for Puig.

He doesn't seem to rate Puig at all.

Puig has played more minutes in the last 5 league games than Pjanić.

I'll take the bait to once again state how strange it is that he barely participated since that game where he played his first 90', one whole month ago tomorrow. The team played one of their best games, and no person can say with a straight face that Puig didn't play well in that game.

I wonder if Koeman blamed Puig for Lenglets penalty the game after...

Relax. Puig is just one player. He?s good, but he isn?t some phenomenal type talent tbh. All the other kids are doing well, Fati, Pedri, Ilaix, Mingueza, Araujo. Im more than happy with that. Cant remember the last time we had this much young players playing so regularly in the team. If we manage to win the league they will have been a big part of it.

I am relaxed. I don't care about young or old players, I think the best players should play.
Koeman not playing Puig as much as I'd want can be explained by different football styles, but the situation after that game is strange. Even more strange when you have the case of Pjanic at the same time.

He was ok in that game, nothing special. Alaves just played into his hands with basically no midfield so he had a lot of space.

And it's not like he doesn't play because of some oldies. He doesn't play because we have Pedri who is 3 years younger and already a much better and more complete player. And now he'll also start to lose his minutes to Ilaix how fits a profile of the midfielder we don't have but who Koeman wants in his team (that's why he wanted and is still pushing to get Wijnaldum).

Liqui should've listened to Koeman and go on loan last year.

If Nagelsmann comes and still benches him then you know he is the problem, not coach.

No, then his fan boys would blame Laporta to bring Nagelsmann and not Xavi. :lol:

The best players are playing, at least in midfield.

And you're clearly one of the biggest Rigui's fanboys here and bothered he's not playing as much as you think he deserves. But Pjanic (who is also barely playing) is not his "problem", Pedri and Ilaix are.
