But we really saw what happened when he was tested against elite attackers and guys with quickness and skill on the ball, I don't think i'd trust him to start against Madrid again especially at the Bernabeau after what happened last time. Or against teams that have quality wingers.....

you sound like it was totally meaningless game. maybe if adriano would not have saved that ball off the line, madrid wouldve won and give them confidence to win the league and semi final and we are would talk about a great madrid side eh?

The least important clasico from that month = meaningless game for you? No El Clasico is a meaningless game, but you can't deny that the 3 games against RM that followed were more important.

RM won the CdR and that didn't stoped us from winning in CL, not to mention that Mou and Pep didn't really want to win that game first El Clasico. And one game it's not proof of anything.

if this is true you would blame adriano for the last clasico. and would not praise him after last game.

I don't remember blaming him for the last Clasico, but I do remember writting this after the first leg of the Supercup:

With his injury problems and his age he will always be a squad player for Barca, a very good one, but that's it.

He keeps himself more available to defend the counterattack than either Alves or Alba..

And probably that's why Tito preffered him right now instead of Jordi..it will take him some time to synchronize his movements with those of Dani and you can't risk against a team that has CR and Di Maria on the wings. Not to mention that JA didn't had a propper vacation(like the other spanish internationals from our squad did), so he should probably be rested more in the first month.

Surprised at the comments here. IMO, I think Alba is way better than Adriano.

It looks likes sometimes we forget to put things in perspective and that's why Tello and Adriano are so praized, while Alexis and VV are crucified or JA is made to be a benchwarmer already. And while I understand that the expectations are different from those players I for one preffer to wait \a few months and see where we stand in La Liga before I pass any judgements about this competition between Adriano and Alba. Let's not forget that the Spanish Supercup, even if it's against RM, it's only a little more important than the Gamper.

So I'm not the one using only one game(good or bad) to prove a point about a player..
