Finally Xaviball is back.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

2-0 win

 

[serghei]

Banana peel. Desperate team away after international break with many players missing. Xavi better be alert.

Still they are as good as relegated, so maybe they have given up.

 

[fergus90]

The 55 points that separate Elche and Barca, is the biggest gap in La Liga history at this stage of the season.

Dropped points inc.

Mats
Roberto, Kounde, Alonso, Balde/Alba
Kessie, Busi, Gavi
Ferran, Lewy, Ansu

Or Eric instead of Kessie with Roberto CM and Kounde RB. Would like to see likes of Torre, Estanis and Alarcon get some minutes.
Most of the XI players should be fit. Only Lewy played 2x90 during the break.

They have a new coach so could be that usual "shock effect".

Anyway with a 12-point lead wouldn't be end of the world if we drop points here, focus should be on the Copa game.

 

[Andresito]

Araujo is back. Gavi number 30 again. Raphinha suspended, Pedri, Dembele, Christensen and Frenkie injured. Not short of B-players.

 

[Porque]

Aleix Garrido...

 

[JerseyAddict]

With so much players absent I can't be without concerns.

 

[Horatio]

Club football is back! So nice.

It's Elche, we should be fine if we treat the game properly, unlike Almeria.

You are the one to always state before any game against a liga minnow that it could be a banana peel.

You are the one to always state before any game against a liga minnow that it could be a banana peel.

Exaggeration, but this one could be because of poor motivation and tiredness from national teams games. Not because of injuries or absences.

If we show up serious and motivated, prepared for this game, then we will win with or without missing players.

 

[Rory]

If we don't show up serious and motivated then that is on Xavi
