having said all that, Depor away (with Pique suspended) has all the hallmarks of a trap-game.”

The team selection against Sociedad was all over the place and against Valencia they lost their heads after the 1st goal.
What has happened to Alex Vidal? From what I've watched of him since Jan, he's been better than Alves defensively and on a par with him attacking wise, he looks a ready made replacement at right back, whereas Turan hasn't looked great at all, especially in the last month or so, I can understand him being out of favour.
