Guys stop perpetuating this dump argument...

Perdi Busi Frenkie and Ilaix can do all that Puig and Pjanic can, and 100 more different things..

Not comparable to Umtiti's case, where you need a LCB and the only 2 options are Lenglet and Umtiti.
You take one and worry that he might prove worse than the other

Firpo, Lenglet and Araujo are all superior players to Umtiti at LCB.
I would change the system if we had to play Umtiti.
And same can be said on Illaix being a different player than Pedri, while Puig and Pjanic are his direct replacement

I can get it if he is even consistent.
You don't trust certain players and will shut them down? ok, then you should have Umtiti at top of the list.
You will put faith in your players? then use Puig and Pjanic to rotate and rest your players.

But this double standards, that favours our worst players by far, who is playing a position that requires no mistakes? He should have known better.

That's the main problem I have with him. He'd form opinions about players based on things that have little to do with football. The story with Joaquin never sits right with me. Don't think Koeman is a fair-play chap with how he manages.

I listed Lenglet, but he is also a liability
Araujo can't play LCB. He can only play CB or RCB

Firpo maybe, but he has not been tried at all there

Nah, there is no argument really that shows that either Puig or Pjanic (especially him) can provide anything that the others don't.
List one quality of the 2 of them that is not being provided already.

It's just another straw-man that anti-Koeman people employ to attack him.
