Diego Costa

[Special Juan 27,103]

Far too much of a case of people looking too close. First season, bags of goals, bags of good moments......lets enjoy it and support him!!

Granted he isn't amazing in the air but for fucks sake lets not jump all over the back of it and brandish him with the over analysis stick, please.

It took Torres 69 games and sixteen months to score 13 goals for Chelsea. Perspective.

Happy that he is scoring last night. Despite the result, I think Costa performance has been good, and consistently scoring is always a good sign for a striker.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Lmaoo for some reason the commentators over here kept saying Costa's been off form, and lacking confidence...

If this is how he plays "off-form" then i'll take it!

That last chance should have been a goal, fuck off Collocini!!

[Milan 17,835]

If he meant this looking at me, I would never dare even to move in front of him

Diego Costa is 5 goals away from

equalizing Fernando Torres goal tally in his

entire Chelsea career. (PL)

[Special Juan 27,103]

Guy is just a proper out and out goal scorer.

[zolayes 14,489]

Costa Fantastic Foward Very happy day

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Very good in the second half, especially in contrast with the first where he was dire to put it lightly. In the first 20 minutes he seemed to just stand in place. Didn't press or make runs. Weird.

On a different note, I really don't like* the gesture he did especially when he was playing that badly. Just get your head down and work harder to improve instead of making provocations to opposition players.

Not about Costa in particular, but I'd really like players to start getting booked for those kind of unsportsmanlike gestures like shushing or card waving.

He was telling him to shut up and stop debating whether it was a corner. What's there to get?

The verb I forgot to write in that sentence is "like". I really don't like the gesture he did....

Haven't scored a single goal in CL yet despite having countless opportunities, not good enough

I don't think it was anythng particular to this game - his defensive workload has decreased a lot this season. It's probably good for him but I really liked watching him press defenders and act as the first line of defence for Atleti. Here though we often see him just press half-heartedly or stand still (City away a prime example) which suggests his relative passivity in defence is a tactical instruction.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I don't care how his style of play now, as long as he is scoring for fun. This dude is born to scores.
