The one where Granada had one 1 shot and 1 corner over 90 minutes? Clearly you were watching a different match or didn't understand what you were looking at - perhaps the defensive back line of 5 defenders and having 8 in the box confused you by Granada. For the record, that's sitting in a deep block
Sounds like Zabaleta did train after all, so maybe he will be involved tomorrow.
Rather not see either in this game on their first game back from injury. If we're playing a back 4 Maffeo, Otamendi, Nando, Dinho and Navas are all options.think i would rather see Sagna.

Dinho at RB would be madness. Its essential that he's the pivot.
Not sure what is the least worst option. Dont fancy a back 3 against their front 3, with or without Kompany. Is a 90% fit specialist RB a worse option against Barca than a midfielder playing out of position? For all of Sagna or Zabaleta's limitations, I think having a player who understands the positional requirements of the role is the most important factor. If they're not fit then Maffeo.
This all day. Has anyone else noticed their best play only comes when they are winning? If they are a goal or two down the play acting is unbearable and is definitely used as a tactic - which to me is totally unacceptable given how good their players are. Why fall around like spoilt kids. Happens a lot when they meet teams of a similar standing. I remember the so-called ' Clasicos' of recent years. They were anything but with all the theatrical diving and play acting. Totally ruined the games.Very hard. Barca enjoys a special protection by the refs, and an integral part of their play is to "search and get" free-kicks when they loose the ball. Besides that players like Suarez and Neymar always roll 5 times around on the floor to make things looks worse than they are.
It's improved since Maureen left. Ancelotti and Zidane don't seem to have a lot of time for it thankfully and the Barca players have eased off now Madrid aren't at it as much although Suarez, Neymar, Busquets, Pepe, Tranny and James are still ****s of the highest order.This all day.
