Teams don't want to battle barca for ball and even if they did there's 3-4 sides we could lose possession against normally. And against those we lose possession. Simple as that.

I understand very well. Elche is more of a possession side than us, albeit with a much lower quality squad.

Fake news.
If Barca wanted to out pass Elche they could do it with ease.. they wanted to win.

Fake news all you want. It's no shame in it, we're just less of a possession side than we used to be and more direct. If you check the last time a newly promoted side won possession at our home you probably go back decades.
More of a transition team this Barca, the possession is just a by product of the technical quality of the players. Even if you put Simeone in charge of Barcelona you'd win possession almost all the time by default.

Aye and yesterday Barca won game by being direct as a plan.
There was no desire to out pass Elche as a tactic.
Barca are a far far better side in possession of ball than were under Xavi.

In my opinion, we won so much games last year because we played direct. This year we tried it with more possession and lost our attack power but not our defensive weakness because we played the same high line. Also against real madrid, they tried to get controll without attacking power. Maybe flick realized that and now we will see better attacking football
