Malaga vs Real Madrid

time for another thumping, good new is we dont have to face baptista as he is still recovering from his injury

sad news is that we will never see sahin

players called up:

Keepers
Casillas, Adán y Jesús.
Defenders
Ramos, Arbeloa, Marcelo, Varane, Nacho Fernández y Pepe.
Mids
Özil, Di María, Xabi Alonso, Callejón, Khedira, Kaká, Granero y Altintop.
Strikers
Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuaín y Benzema.

yay both nacho and jesus make the cut eventhough i think jesus will be one of the guys left out along with poor granero

Ruud said he won't celebrate if he scores

Ruud shouldn't even be playing.

Rondón should start.

what happened to Coentrao?

injured according to the website

New guys on the team this year having a tough time making an impact....

Granero Must play! I really hoped Sahin would be back by now, but it's good that they are trying to prevent Kaka 2.0...

Malaga are high line possession freaks. Higgy is needed in this game
Counter the sh!t out of them

Great assessment .Never thought it that way babun.

another hattrick??? yes he can

We need a higgy - Van Gol reunion anyway.

Then you're experiencing your 'first time'

-----------Casillas
-Arbeloa-Pepe-Ramos-Marcelo
------Khedira-Granero
-Benzema-Kaka-Cristiano
----------Higuain

I think that Ozil needs to be rested, as does Xabi. For Xabi, its just being careful, but Ozil is obviously a bit tired and off form. I would of course want to play benzema on the right wing, but thats pretty impossible. Di Maria could prove effective against their high line, so maybe he should get a chance there.

Fixed, Malaga killer while resting Alonso, Ozil and CR7 Sub Di Maria in at 60th minute for Benz

CR is a machine ,he no need rest :cyclops:

u guys do know.. Arbeloa is one of my fav players kuz hes so consistent, like i really have to remember the last time he was blown apart by anyone... hmmm

he's reallyyy good defensively, and can also dribble

I want him as a Permanent RB

i would be happy if varane got a chance this game, but i dont think so as pepe-ramos partnership has proved so effective

I don't think the starters will be rested for this game because I don't think Mou will take Malaga lightly. I think we will see some changes for the mid-week game though.

I dont think we should rest too many players, Malaga are a good side and we're playing away. Resting Cristiano isnt going to happen.

Confirmed line-up:

Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Xabi, Khedira, Di Maria, Kaka, Cristiano, and Higuain

Di Maria starting and I can't understand benching Özil unless it is done because he needs a rest.

He obviously needs a rest, and Di Maria needs to improve a bit.

He is going the way of the counter, as expected, a lot of fast attackers.

Higuain to score 4.

Obviously Mou is rotating players, which is really great. I highly approve. We'll be so much better come money time (March-May) for it....

Yes, it's good to work on the chemistry now, get them playing with each other.

Hopefully Callejon and Granero get some time
