Koeman's pressy confirms the agenda against the player. Unless he has only 10 available players, he will not play Puig

The irony considering the momentum of the CDR match was turned on it's head when we were down 0-2 to Granada at beginning of 2021. It is not the first time the Dutchman has been heavy handed in his personal agendas against players, it is not befitting a top level coach much less that at Barca

There is no agenda he just doesnt rate him.

The Granada game is weak example. It was a game Messi, Griezmann and Alba turned round late on and Barca dominated whole game before and after Puig arrived on the pitch.

Text book arguments for Puig.. as if he turned that game round when he didnt and ignore the other two cup games Koeman started him and he was shite.

Also forget he played the first Copa game as a starter last season, was shite and was booked because he fighted with referee. Later he was subbed out and Barca won 2-0 (Pedri assisted both goals btw).

Crap. Took ages to turn, received the ball with his backs to the game, slowed us down and nothing came out of his tried. No wonder no coach rates him.

Talk about overreacting. He had no time to do anything and the coach clearly instructed him to play it safe on the winger and not take initiative.
You can criticize everything and everyone but this is just over criticism to combat his fanboys who believe he is the second coming of Xavi.

Well said. Can't say really anything about his game. Don't even know why he was brought in since all we were doing at that point was to ram in the box as many crosses as possible. Should have put in a bigger guy.

Could be a good thing to rotate all this new youngblood midfield squad on a regular basis and also promote Kayz

Adds squad depth and minimizes risk of injury

Would also help if La Liga allowed for 5 subs per game instead of 3. Definite advantage in staying fresh and prepared come CL time :thinking:
