Mavericky Puig

[vegitot]

He has pretty nice green >90th percentile bars pretty much everywhere in this "scouting report" https://fbref.com/en/players/f090a37a/Riqui-Puig
The sample size is small obviously and unfortunately, but still.

Better than prime Xavi.

He was actually good today, and had an impact when he came on. Hoepfully he leaves and saves his career

Motm.

If he played atleast 30 minutes we would have had 6 goals.

Wow

Best thing about watching today was Puig's handful of minutes.

 

[Barcaman]

We need highlights.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Better than Pedri today. At least he tries to do something.

First time in four games they didn't score after he got his five minutes...

Welcome to correlation vs causation

He looked like he has got smaller since he last played. Maybe he has some Benjamin Burton shit going on that the more he plays the smaller he gets. Koeman is just saving his life.

Was great, only lost 3 balls, and had 2 to strong passes that the receiving player couldn't control, resulting in Barca losing the ball.

MOTM, imagine hat he could do in 90 mins.

In my opinion both those first time passes were fine, Braithwaite just straight up spooned the pass in mid air But he has no technical ability to play for Barca. Ironically those two quick first time passes are one of the reasons I think he should get more game time. We are often to pedestrian and ponderous on the ball and Puig moves it about quicker.

EDIT - I mean the intention of them not so much the execution, the one to De Jong was a little heavy.

He ll not leave if Koeman leaves. Hopefully, that will happen.
