Being honest I'm just not particularly blown away with either of them right now. Pedri did look immense at the beginning of the season though and has the higher ceiling.

He lacks composure and emotional intelligence in the sense of controlling his own emotions. He was too excited running wanting to do everything when he entered as the case in his 5 minute games.
Its like dating a nuthead and thinking she is special and creative but realizing later on that she has mental issues
This.

Yea, that's where a top manager is supposed to intervene. Running is great, but it needs to be cohesive and shared by other players. I know you don't like him, but I'm hoping we'll see Pedri and Puig under a better manager who plays more pass and move football.

Jeepers so is Koemans fault that Puig runs like a headless chicken?
It is much more accurate that top coaches will bin players who cant do the basics when have been told to.
From Pep to any other coach there are players that at some point dont get it.

Don't think Koemans' instructions are very good tbh. Doesn't seem like the manager to instruct his players wisely. This can be seen when Puig isn't playing too. Moriba does a lot of mindless running as well.
Maybe because they are young they play with more intensity and speed, willing to make a difference. This enthusiasm and energy need to be channeled and used well.
Besides, don't know if you noticed, but besides that mindless running at times (he has to hold position more, and press less like he's the Last of the Mohicans), the kid knows how to move, how to pass, and how to initiate attacks in other ways than just the boring standard side pass to the open fullback.

Dont agree with that at all that the coaching team are not instructing the players and Puig has been through years and years of coaching at Barca anyway.
If Puig is a headless chicken that is on him.
When will the sequel to " Puig's effect" come out??? It is brillant.

Give him more playing time and he will outperform pedri.
Even better, give him an offer to work with the Barcelona marketing team

Where is george, when he was here he outdiscussed every Puig-hater here 
I'm currently writing the screenplay, 500 days of Pedri.
He makes all standard side and back pass. No through ball or whatever like that. Just because he swings his legs quicker.
Pedri/De Jong plays under same coach and they don't run like a headless chicken.
