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.

You dont even understand the point being made as per usual.

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

Flick just said that he thinks Rapha and Joan will be back after the break and maybe Pedri. Flick is neither a doctor, nor a fortune teller, it's just his opinion and maybe hope. Usual accounts milk the story now.Reported that he will be back after international break.
If true then some 3D chess moves from Flick and Pedri

His recovery going much better than expected. Huge news if true. I only hope it's natural and they are not rushing him back

Olmo played well in the Pedri role at weekend.
Good news going forward for resting Pedri.
Olmo had good workate, closed well and was calm on ball in middle third.
Gave away ball trying thing a few times around box but has to try things there.
If Flick goes with the 2nd half tactics of weekend it will help Pedri more if the he isnt expected to press like a maniac every time opposition get ball.
There is scope for playing FDJ, Pedri and Olmo in a more fluid midfield if Olmo can repeat that performance.

Maybe against good offensive teams they try to play without a cam. But is frenkie capable of the single pivot? What we saw with xavi back then, he wasn‘t
