When people make arguments that's not based on facts but pure emotional, it is easy to pick holes in it.

Anyone blaming Koeman, is just being emotional. Fact is Riqui Puig destroyed his own career with his own hands. He has only himself to blame.

FirstbornWds:
Imagine when Messi returns!!!

andrewbaba44:
Don’t mind them

They must blame innocent koeman

FirstbornWds:
Na just naiveness go make anybody no understand say Koeman was behind Puig's decline. It's an obvious fact but then, the player himself made a mistake. I really hope he finds his feet. Such a talented lad diminishing because a particular person's pride felt hurt.

felix00:
This is just wrong and it's a weird way of appealing to authority.
Puig wanted to stay and fight for his place in the team. That's a great attitude that Koeman took offense at

Unlimited22:
Sincère question.

Why does your coach not like Memphis Depay?

felix00:
Can you really call wanting to fight for a place on the team mistake?

jpmoriarti:
Messi will not return to Barça as a player.

However, he'll return and get a proper send-off as a club legend, and that will be that.

jpmoriarti:
I will distribute the blame in 97% : 3% fashion against Riqui Puig.

Koeman might have hated him but he gave him the opportunity to leave on loan before the season started. Find a decent club in laliga and play out the season there.

But Puig refused to leave.

That was a direct affront to the Koeman. He interpreted it as Puig was daring him to do his worse. He reacted by not playing him at all, as he was already forewarned.

Two years later, Riqui Puig is now doing what he should have done two years earlier.

And y'all are blaming Koeman for how everything turned out.

To succeed at the top level, you need more than talent.

It's like xavi wants to play 3atb next season
❗️Barcelona have made an official offer of €15M for Inigo Martinez. If Athletic do not accept, Barça will sign the player as a free agent next summer. He will NOT renew his contract.

FirstbornWds:
He knew he was in Koeman's black book, not pushing for a move then was just him wasting his time.

jpmoriarti:
It takes even greater attitude to know when not to shot yourself in the foot, just because you wanted to stay and fight.

Stay and fight?? What a laugh! More like stay and club all night

How would he know this?

All he did was took the manager's word as a challenge and wanted to prove him wrong but Koeman took it as an offense and refused to give him a look even as a rotation piece

felix00:
Romero said we are getting this guy for free next season so all this news na bs most likely.

Even the 3 ATB sef, I no believe we go see much of it next season. Xavi did not experiment with it once in pre season

FirstbornWds:
Not true. He did against Red Bulls, our last match.


Pique, Nico, and Balde played the three-man defense in the second half.

FirstbornWds:
It was evident. Even we as fans knew that Koeman never liked Puig but I guess he thought he had what it takes to compete but was never given the chance.


Next best move would have been to go on a loan.

felix00:
I did not watch this game but Balde came in for Alba so who was at lwb cause there was no other left footed defender on the pitch

FirstbornWds:
The game went on with Balde, Pique Nico ----- Roberto, Kessie, Pedri ( Later Pablo) --- Auba Depay Ansu.

Culer:
lool. You sure say na same game wey I watch you dey talk about?
How did balde play LCB? Someone that was busting forward at every opportunity.
Xavi has never used the 343 this pres season oga.
