Mavericky Puig

[Porque]

He has routinely been the best player against Segunda B teams better than Ibiza. Yesterday was one of those day, clusterfuck of tactical setup with a mixed starting 11 (Firpo and Roberto in a back three with Semedo as Wingback!?!?!), terrible weather and assumed travel iternary (I wouldn't liked to have been airborn in that weather), new coach imposing too much change too soon and a team who are playing their season in one game.

We can't discard a player after 90 minutes. Puig isn't the next Xavi or Iniesta but he doesn't need to be. We need that game changing midfield squad player who can change the dynamic when we need more playmaking and to start home games. A better rounded Ivan de la Pena type.

Stick with him, let him bulk a little and be our Sensi. Thats his path IMO.

Unrealistic? We haven't produced anyone since Roberto

Roberto isn't good enough for Barca's first team either.

Calm down lol. Most of our players were shit yesterday. I don't know what people expect of him? To take control and be the leading player in a team full of A-players that are underperforming?

It's still WAY too early to shit on him, even if he's 20. He's performed in friendlies against top teams, he showed glimpses against a Liga team in Granada, so obviously he isn't all worthless.

Reminder that the GOAT Kante is smaller than him , LOL.

But his physique is not existent. If he would bulk up he could make it here. If Dembele can, he can as well. Club needs to something about it.

As its now, I understand why people are sceptic about him. He looks like your typical 12-14 y.o. And is 20.

Messi 170 cm, 72 kg
Kante 168 cm, 70 kg
Puig 169 cm, 56 kg
Lady Gaga 155 cm, 53 kg
Angelina Jolie 169 cm, 54 kg
Lana Del Rey 170 cm, 55 kg
Keira Knightley 170 cm, 54 kg

If Riki went into a 1 vs 1 duel involving some pushing and tackling, he would have 50:50 chances against Keira Knightley, Angelina Jolie and similar:

Let's hope that in the future Champions league teams will field defenders who will be skinnier and physically weaker than Keira and Angelina, because Riki would struggle in tackles against these two ladies.

Let's hope...

i agree with bbz, puig really needs to gain muscle mass if he wants to be in the first team squad

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

56kg is that possible?

 

[Danic]

Thank god no one cares what members of this forum say after ONE "bad" game of a decent player. Otherwise we would maybe loose a real gem.
What is it with all this black or white thinking?! Everyone plays a bad game even the mighty Leo....
Apart from that we have to take a look at the overall team at this game with uncommon tactics and formation.

How the hell can a professional footballer play with only 56kg?! How is that even possible?! Any half serious defender would eat him alive! Setien's training stuff should sit on him and force him to eat and gain muscles every single day. Can't understand this brain of his. If he thinks he can succeed with this physique he is either stupid or delusional.

Imagine lady gaga and puig going on a duel.
We know who wins
