Agree. If you compare Neuer and Courtois head to head personal ability, they are almost on the same level already imo. Yes I might agree that at the moment Neuer might be better, but it is because he is much older and have more experience, while Courtois still very young. And I don't like to include their respective club and country achievement when comparing both.

He is spot on imo.

No please, we want Wenger to stay Lol, of course. Can't wait to see some gooners reaction.

Not sure about that, but they will have the game of their lives as usual for sure.

I think some of you missed my point at my first post. Of course Costa has scored an amount of important goals, but almost all of them come when teams are playing well. Yes, there might be one or two moment of rebounds balls, but generally that is what happened until now, at Chelsea. This is my basic point, if you guys couldn't understand or accept this, we're better agree to disagree then because we have a different basic perception of it. If you understand that point, then go on. What I really mean with not a 'deadlock breaker' striker is that, he is more like a clinical finisher category striker. He needs someone to serve him with a good pass or cross, then he will finish it without problem. Of course some of them might come at the crucial time, or when we're in deadlock situation, I never denied it. And I never said he is shit and try to be ungrateful, unappreciative or something, I just pointed out his style of play, what kind of striker he is. I don't get why people 'furious' with this tbh. And based on that, after last match, I fully realized and conclude that he is not a 'game changer' striker, because he is so far never stand out when team are struggling (don't asked me why I came out with conclusion only after recent match, I want to making sure of it first, and I think I have enough of assessment from the beginning of season until our last match). When the score are draw and we're struggling, he is barely couldn't create good chances to score, leave alone to found the back of the net suddenly, by his effort alone so far. This is my point, that he is not a 'game changer', 'deadlock breaker' striker or whatever you called it. If after that he then scored, almost sure, it is coming from Fabregas or Hazard or Oscar or Matic brilliant link up of play first, and then send or pass or cross the ball to Costa to finish the job. Well if some of you still couldn't get it or disagree with it, we're agree to disagree then.

Actually I'm not really interested to compare with Costa's time at Atletico, different case imo, and it is in the past. At Chelsea, yes maybe in one or two match, I could agree with you. But we have play around 24-25 matches already. If he done that in two out of 24-25 (maybe around 18-19 matches involving Costa), that doesn't make him automatically that 'type' of striker you keep insisting about. I make a general assessment from his overall performance in every game he is involved so far, with special mention when we face big teams or bus parking teams. When team struggling, usually I looks he is struggling too, and couldn't create any chances alone. I don't want to throw this comparison actually, but maybe to make it clear, I better say this. He is not Aguero or Suarez type of striker. Both are capable and proven consistently to break the deadlock when the rest of their team mates were struggling.

Title contenders headline coming up

Balotelli suddenly looking dangerous

lol, what a waste.

miles away offside, I will be surprised if Brenda 'just accept' that goal

how no Pool players complains? that's very unusual of them..

that's offside no?

What are they singing actually?

Pool will never score

A draw and I will be happy

Well I am trying to talk about what type of striker Costa is, as I said until now, I am not seeing him as a striker, who could create chances and score out of nothing single handedly, especially when team are struggling. And maybe you don't pay attention at the last part of my post earlier, I really wrote actually he is the type of striker we need in our team, so I don't have any problem with it.

I swear I don't see this post first before I replied in your post match article. I'm shocked, after I wrote 'you make me reminds of Mata' in that thread and I see your post in this thread with Mata picture in it, lol.

You make me reminds of Mata

Yes, he scores some important goals in the earlier games of the season, but from the process he scores most of it, it is couple of rebounds balls and perfect passes (Fabregas being the important part). He is not a type of striker who will dribbling passed one or two defender and score the goal when teams are under perform and struggling, especially against big teams. He needs someone to 'serves' him the perfect pass, and he will finish it.

Hazard shine at the perfect time. A holiday really give a positive effect on him.

Might be as I don't pay too much attention on it, but I paid attention to every corner we had yesterday and it's all horrible imo. All almost went to near outside of penalty box, when Fabregas always sends it to near penalty spot.

we must change our shirt color, other English clubs see our blue shirt like a bull seeing red color

Strangely, I have a feeling Juventus are more than capable to knock them out, if they really draw each other.

Even if Jose and Fabregas have said that we will put our strongest line up for this match, I don't want to 100% believe it. Could be some mind games comments that, Jose could said whatever he want. Realistically, we need rotation, and if people believe we will rotate some in PL matches, I don't see why we wouldn't do it in cup games.
