FirstbornWds:
Imagine reading the news that Koeman wants Riqui Puig outta Barcelona squad? Like.... Is it that Barcelona is cursed to have idiots in the boardroom and coaches recently after Luiz Enrique?
R. Puig has justifiable proven to be Barcelona's best midfielder every time he steps on the pitch to play and a dickhead of a coach that hasn't even functioned in a competitive match wants him out of the club.

To an extent, I'm not surprised by that decision. For someone that would have preferred to have Widnaldum over Thiago Alcantara, much really wouldn't be expected.

But the question is, which players would he rather stick to in the midfield? Pjanic, FDJ, Busquest, Roberto These guys ( probably aside FDJ and Pjanic) are not really that creative straight to attack compared to Puig... How do these guys think now? Even fans with no coaching experience know too well that this young lad is basically the future of Barcelona...


Messi was right after all. Barcelona doesn't have a project... They are only covering loops with sand

NegroAcheiver:
Na you go sack am? There's even a slight possibility that Barca might not even sign anybody this transfer window.My own Sha is that if they don't can't sign Garcia then both todibo and araujo should be heavily reinstated this season.Pique should be not be starting regularly, he's good but he's old,slow and not as effective as Ramos.

Sommyroy10:
I would rather believe it's just for today's match. He(Koeman) would have a press conference very soon, he would be surely asked, we hear his response and conclude.

williams10101:
We can only wait and see. If its true, I really hope it isn't a permanent deal. At most, a loan

joviegghead:
Starting XI:

Neto

Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba

De Jong, Busquets

Messi, Coutinho, Fati

Griezmann



This starting lineup like up makes me laugh hard.


Well, it's just Joan Gamper Trophy.

Shebi if we talk, some "fans" go say we no be Barcelona fans.

I was watching the match, but I just stopped. I can't be wasting my data and watching those same old people play.

You can't keep fielding the same set of players and expect different results. If he makes massive changes during the 2nd half, then I will continue watching.

joviegghead:
Looking at Dembele, I keep asking :

What if this nigga has been fit all along. Damn!

haymekus:
The idiot will still bench him and start greizmann

joviegghead:
Positives:
Barça dominated the match and held the ball(expected tho)
Players are shooting more (good thing)
Fati is precious (tho it was elche)
Messi is evergreen, but is heart has left the club. Still exceptional tho. The GOAT.
Dembele is a beast.
Trincao and Pedri are wonderful prospects
Coutinho was Great(probably the MOTM for some. Or Messi)

Negatives :
Not a clinical team. We only scored 1 goal, against elche? Just wow.

Please help beg Koeman to bench Griezmann small. The guy lacks presence. Dembele, Trincao, and Pedri were obviously better when coming on.

Busquets, as usual, slow and passive.

Pjanic is just a low budget rakitic (yes, I said it). His only shot(oh lord). What were we thinking letting Arthur go?

No Puig. If he was there, I know how the match would have being. We need a creative mind like Puig.

The defence will be our downfall. What happened to Araujo and Junior. Roberto should be replaced by Semedo. Alba is great attacking wise, but,....

In fact, let me stop here.

hmmm....I don't even know what to say. shea na dis same man wey play Calvert as wingback against Stoke . Now he doesn't want Puig. Someone that's playing in a place that's not his main position and still doing well there. Then Grizz hmmm, let him use his mouth and tell us where he wants to play or where he feels most comfortable playing from eh. Nigga don play everywhere upfront and still he's not been himself..just flashes sometimes. Maybe he should play without Messi sometimes, let's see if his confidence would come back.

Ikennablue:
These are the exact words of Koeman

Koeman: "Riqui Puig? I spoke to him yesterday. In my opinion, young players have to play: Riqui, Aleñá, Pedri... I told him that it will be difficult for him to play regularly, but I also told him that he has a future here. A loan deal could work for him."

"It's not true that I have told Riqui that I don't count on him. However, there's competition and that complicates things right now."

"I recommend Riqui to leave on loan because a young player like him has to play."



Take your time and think about what this man is saying. Remember, Alena was loaned last season. Koeman got balls. I like that.

Our defense is really shit. All the counter attack against us would have resulted to goal. If nothing is done about this defense, this season will still be a disaster
