a joy to watch this guy

Yes he is weak physically but he is a talent. Keep playing him. Big upgrade over Rakitic.

Made more decent passes in 20 mins than Rakitic has done in 3 years

it's an absolute travesty this kid burned into the b team for so much time, he's so dynamic, so electric, so quick with the ball, he has huge merit on messi goal.

 

[CatalinR10]

had a good game , great recovery for the goal.

 

[JohnN]

No reason whatsoever why he hadn't played a single minute until now. That is a travesty.

He got the ball and initiated the attack led to the goal, kids incredible. more of him please.

He's the one from La Masia I've been most excited about. Yes physicality is an issue but he will get stronger as he grows. He's quick, moves the ball well and isn't afraid to take risks. He absolutely needs game time regularly to keep him progressing to the potential he can reach.

I was impressed with him in pre-season too.

Is rough but thats what talents are. Give him more games, show confidence and he'll shine.

One word and it's Valverde.

No one demanded Puig to start but to get at least some game time with our Midfield problems. But Nah he would rather stick to the declining Rakitic and putting Roberto back as a CM before giving this guy a chance. I hope Puig can take these minutes he gets and keeps proving that he deserves a chance.

Exactly, watching him push forward was a breath of fresh air... Kid is still raw, but I'll take him any day over dead man Rakitic...

I've got to imagine seeing us score the winner seconds after Rakitic came off for Puig just so the tine choir boy could create the goal by doing defensive pressing Rakitic would never even imagine himself doing is BBZ's greatest nightmare, envisioned.

Such a sight to see.

like xavi like iniesta, a ture barca's dna midfielder.

Great 20 minutes yesterday. I loved the way he was constantly moving around looking for the space and demanding the ball like xavi used to. Hopefully he can keep it up
