Mavericky Puig

[jairzinho]

He reminds of a young David Silva, in his Valencia days. Same height, same play style.

I think he will be really good as he matures physically and technically.

 

[Catta]

He could maybe become like Modric. He was also weak and light when he was younger. For now he reminds me a lot of him with his workrate and determination.

 

[xXKonan]

I think another comparison would be someone like Santi Cazorla.

He's small as well but that didn't stop him from being such a good Midfielder during his peak even though he was unlucky with the bad injuries he had.

 

[Batistuta9]

The technical ability is clear to see and I think he'll be okay despite his small stature. He seems to have a good mentality, he doesn't back out of a tackle and he's winning 50-50s with players that are physically much bigger and stronger.

 

[xXKonan]

Despite his good run of his performances, it seems he's back on the bench as we are still prioritizing aging legs again.

 

[Porque]

We were so poor that Puig was MOTM without even playing.

 

[fergus90]

He was named RAC1 man of the match against Atletico, Setien said he deserved continuity. In the two games since he gave him 30 mins against Villarreal and 0 tonight. Baffling.

Shocking that he hasn’t played the past 2 matches. If I’m Setien I’d be playing him every match as he has young fresher legs.

On one hand yes, on the other no. He is a really good player but I am kind of glad that he is not burned to death because the coach doesn't know what else to do. The season is lost anyways.

 

[vegitot]

Dont know what Setien is up for. Is he saving Puig for UCL?

 

[JohnN]

Setien is determined to burn the seniors to the ground.
The team needed speed and higher tempo. We have a little guy that has been performing great and deserves "continuity". Fuck it, never sub him on.

 

[MTL_Barca]

Setien was probably just too scared to lose/draw. Puig played great these past games but he didn't make use of his 5th sub at all and even the 4th was a CB at 90+2 min.

 

[khaled_a_d]

I think it was his worst game after hiatus.
Well, still most energetic midfielder beside Vidal.

 

[xXKonan]

He had some good moments but I'm wondering if we are just overrating every little thing he does due to the fact that the other Mids we have are just bad to watch now.

 

[vegitot]

Not bad performance but not really good.

Dribble wise is good
