So yeah, that wasn't a great game. We need to start looking for a good rotational player for Alba, the quality drop off has gotten too big with Adriano. He's been a good backup player for us in his time here, but right now he's not performing at the level required. Luckily both Mathieu and Vermaelen can play LB in a squeeze, but we need to look for a permanent solution sooner rather than later.
All of this said though, I still love Adriano. His constant great mood and happiness is important for the team off-pitch.
