I'd rather we start a raring-to-go Mascherano instead of a not-fully-100% Puyol. We could bring Puyol on for David Villa/Pedro and push Mascherano up to midfield when we need to close out the match.
I hope that Afellay starts in place of David Villa in the Copa Del Rey final. Maybe Villa just needs a kick(being benched) to get his awesome-ness back.
Afellay and Iniesta switching postions(AM and LF) throughout the Copa Del Rey final...

I know that it isn't the most reliable website. But can anyone confirm any truth in this rumour?
