I think not introducing Puig in these games is almost a crime against humanity in itself.
But by bringing on Pjanic, it's even worse!
How can anyone, anywhere, see how these two players have played this season, and choose Pjanic over Puig?
Midfield was tired, and I assume Koeman didn't believe we could score 3 with 10 min to go, given the whole 2nd half.

So he let Pjanic get some time so that Puig could rest another game in advance of his coming resting in the liga game...

Fair play to Koeman. Played unreal away from home again and should have won that game easily.
This team can be very dangerous with a few key components.
We NEED a CF, a goalscoring one. And a CB, Lenglet played pretty well but still couldn’t help himself with the clumsy mistakes. Buy a CB to play alongside Araujo or in a back 3 with Araujo and Mingueza. Pique and Lenglet can play La Liga and Copa.
