Situation of Puig and Pedri
Both Puig and Pedri are unbelievable players. Both of them have what it takes to play here. But they are different kinds of players themselves. Let's see what Puig can offer that Pedri cant. (There are things that Pedri can offer which Puig can not also.)
First of all his defense splitting passes. I am not saying Pedri doesn't do that, but Puig's passes are just unbelievable. He sees passes that no one other than Messi sees. His passes have that kind of quality. If you have watched his games under Setien, you won't deny it. He was our most creative player alongside Messi. I don't see Pedri as creative as Puig is. The media blabbering of connection that Messi and Pedri has is just temporary or it won't work in most of the games in my opinion. Even if it needs to work both of them should be at their best of the shapes to do so.
Pedri had been dropping in his form lately. It's not a blame for him but to Koeman. He is just a kid and he has been going through a lot this season. He needs some time off to get his head cleared. He hasn't had that this season. This where Puig comes in. If Koeman doesn't have a problem with Puig I think he would have played both Pedri and Puig similarly rather than playing Pedri all the time and giving Puig less time.
Secondly, he is our kid, who had graduated from our academy. He has been struggling to find a place in the first team for some time now. Even though he isn't given the chances that he deserves he is still hanging on with Barca. He had many offers from other clubs but he is still sticking on with Barca because of his love for the club. Araujo and Mingueza as starters for Barca might make Puig jealous because when he was knocking on the doors of the first team they weren't even recognised in the first team (doesn't mean Araujo and Mingueza are not as good as Puig, but he had been asking for his chance longer than them now).
But all three managers haven't had trust in Puig except Setien playing him in some matches. I don't know if its a problem with Puig but whatever it is, if he js given the opportunity he will play with his heart for Barca and that's already proven.

Why are we comparing them now? Are you serious? Were you comparing Xavi and Iniesta and seeing which one was better back in 2010??? NO! Stop putting pressure on them, and appreciate their talent. Pedri has been very tired recently which makes sense for the amount of game time he has had. If the roles were reversed, I'm pretty sure pedri would've came on in the 80th minute and made a difference too. Love them both, RESPECT THEM BOTH, STOP COMPARING THEM!!!!
actually the title is misleading. i should edit that. what i meant was the same thing that you have said now. if you read it fully you will understand. no offense.
No problem, its just that we put so much pressure on the kids.
well I don't believe you saying Puig is more Creative than Pedri. Pedri is an attacking midfielder who can also play as a winger or CM. he lives to create chances and if not for the wastefulness of our attackers. Pedri should be having like 10 assists by now. Let's love them both and stop undermining one to make the other great. both are exceptional players with different skillset. And Pedri deserves Every little. chance he's getting. we all want to see Puig play. but it's not right to undermine Pedri to make Puig look good
The one who wrote the blog is not a true Barca fan but rather a politician, because how can you say piug is better than Pedri you know nothing about football....
