Mavericky Puig

Curious if he'll start vs Celta since De Jong is suspended, and the league is lost. Or Koeman won't risk the chance that he has a great game and makes him look like a clown.

Won’t risk it, it’s most likely Bob starting in midfield

Anyway the league is over, he should just experiment now

Yeah the 2nd one. Will start an injured clown like Roberto in midfield over him.

Legit curious about it.

Looks retarded to me. Doesn't play at all and still seems over the moon about it. It's almost irritating.

Just enjoying his time here in barca till they send him on loan and realize that this kid will be good enough for barca.

Like last season he started vs Celta and Barca ended up drawing, gifted Madrid's Liga tittle. Very likely.

Opps. This time is even worse. Lose and get booked.

whoever says what, this kid million times ahead of Pedri

Such an ungrateful job. "Here boy, you get 5 minutes to salvage our and your own season without having played for weeks" - Koeman.

 

[Total-Football]

Utter disrespect by koeman when he brought him on.. Koeman needs to go.

Message back when Puig plays for Spain senior.

 

[malvolio]

couldn't give a shit about this mediocre hype job.

BUT, can't deny cowman was wrong to not use him as a rotation option in some games. maybe just for the impact of puig wanting to prove something, while pedri was looking exhausted mentally and physically.

 

[Messi983]

Not a top 5 minute midfielder in the world anymore.

Sad days.

Here's a little article comparing him to Moriba

Good article. Unfortunately, Koeman doesn't understand the need for good passers in midfield. He thinks hero-ball Messi is enough.

Btw, the article is spot on also because the best game of Puig and Ilaix this season was in the game both started and De Jong played libero.

 

[Altomonte]

Agreed, very good analysis by Mr. Gustafson. It could become Koeman's downfall to be so stubborn about denying Puig the minutes he deserves.

Here Riqui is cooking or mostly putting shrimps on a plate and reveal that the team mates he'd choose to drink Estrella Damm together with would be Gerard, Sergi and Francisco...
