Lliga: Espanyol - FC Barcelona 1-1

[PhilS]

Alexis, Abidal and Keita should start this one, and Iniesta should play at least some. That will get all the regulars back into the swing of things after winter break.

Neither Pedro nor Cuenca looked too good last game, maybe it is time to give Adriano another start at forward. That wing forward spot, with Messi in the middle and Alexis on the other side, is the only position where no one has yet won the starting job. Cesc needs to play in the center, at either attacking midfield or forward.

not making any predictions but it should be a cracker as usual. they've won just twice in their last 7 games, but i'm sure they'll play the game of their lives against us, as always, just like getafe and athletic bilbao do when they play us at home. etc. cant wait to see it.

I am way more worried about the games vs "lesser" teams as I think we struggle a lot vs them this season due to poor motivation or just thinking we will win simply by being Barcelona. We we get sloppy and players don't work as hard or put as much effort into their game.

Hopefully as this is a derby it shouldn't be a problem with motivation, but I am almost certain Real Madrid will win la liga simply because being more consistent against "lesser" teams. Barcelona to win CL though.

We can't afford to not take all 3 points. And im confident we will. I don't see this team failing this year. I swear I feel like we are so much stronger this season....the magic of Cesc and Alexis <3

That's what they do.

iniesta = win

We're going for 3 points. I'm sure of it. We can't lost the points against Espanyol. But we must remember that we can't underestimate any team*.

* Barca 0 - 1 Getafe

Did they rest a lot of people for the Barca-game?

Some players I guess. But they lost against a very poor team which is 16th in the Second League and BTW they started winning the game. I imagine their moral is not much high right now.

Asspanyol is the second team that suffered the most of Xavi's goals .. he scored 4 times .. only 1 was on Camp Nou .. 2 on Montjuïc and one on Cornilla last season .. yet Messi has never scored on their turf
