Lliga: Elche CF - FC Barcelona 0-6

[Barcaman]

League - Round 20:

Elche - Barca

-

Saturday 24.01. 18:00, Barcelona time

Following recent 5-0 and 4-0 trumping, this should be a piece of cake if team takes it seriously.
We're probably see many rotations too.

Squad list:

Ter Stegen, Bravo, Montoya, Piqué, Sergio, Xavi, Pedro, Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Mascherano, Bartra, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Adriano, Dani Alves.

Rakitic rested, Mathieu injured.

 

[raskolnikov]

I dont mind 3/4 rotations for this game.

Start Matthieu, Adriano, Xavi/Rafinha and Pedro for this game.

Should be a 0-3 type win regardless of the rotations.

 

[Barcaman]

Mathieu is still injured mate.

 

[Alik]

Yeah, I'm hoping to see some players rested. Maybe:

Bravo
Montoya-Bartra-Masch-Alba
Xavi-Busquets-Rafinha
Pedro-Messi-Neymar

With maybe Pique subbing in for Busquets and Masch moving up second half. Adriano for Alba, and whoever is our sub striker for Neymar.

 

[instinct]

Bravo
Montoya Bartra Pique Alba
Masche
Xavi Rafinha
Messi Suarez Neymar

Bravo

Montoya - Bartra - Mascherano - Alba

Xavi - Busquets - Rafinha

Messi - Suarez - Neymar​

 

[pacp_96]

Suarez should be dropped for this game for Pedro. Should give Pique, Alves and Rakitic a rest as well. Neymar off in the second half at some point and then we are set for the second leg of the Copa.

 

[DonAK]

I think Suarez should play. He need goals under his belt.

 

[Kerrybai]

Yeah might as well play Suarez as this is a game to get goals, however if he chokes again he has to be dropped for Atletico.

 

[Flavia]

3 matches against elche and atletico in one month
Really weird.

The players will take it seriously, hopefully. Can't drop any more points.

 

[linetty]

Good chance for Rafinha to start. Some players should be rested for second leg with Atleti.

Agreed with Kerry as well.

 

[Darko]

Rafinha and Bartra must start, also maybe Pedro.
Expecting an easy win, we're flying high on confidence and have easily dispatched Elche in the past few weeks.
