Socur Toxanarosa

But i think he's trying and as i said, we have no substitute, what i mean is, do i like the current situation? No, but we'll fix it in the summer, not now.

It doesn't really matter to me as long as he keeps focused when he is playing, he tried to go back to Atletico last summer but it didn't stop him being our best player until december. It's true that he not playing well, but i don't think it's because he doesn't want to be here, maybe the whole saga affected him, but i think he's trying to do his best and eventually will start scoring again. If it doesn't happen this season and he goes in the summer, fair enough, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like he was a scrub, we are in such a great position much thanks to his performances. We also don't have a good alternative to him, maybe playing a trio of Willian, Hazard and Pedro which i'm not a fan of, but ultimately, even he is in subpar form, he's still important, always give the defenders some trouble, one way or another.

He is a much better option than Lukaku, and a much cheaper one too.

Ungrateful clowns that doesn't have a clue about football, that's what some of our fans are. Pretty sure he will have plenty of offers from great teams if he wants to leave, what i hope doesn't happen anyway soon.

Saved for later

Possibly a factor for sure, but i don't think Conte would discard a useful player regardless. There were rumours about his work ethic at the Euros too, i don't know if it's true or have any relation tho.

I never said someone on the same level of the starter equivalent, i said someone competent, reliable, like Begovic, Willian and Matic/Fábregas when they come from the bench. And Lukaku can feck off, he doesn't have the level to be a starter for us.

Mate, he isn't playing because he is not impressing in training, or do you have doubts about Conte's fairness? And i think he will, he is due to a great performance, even Messi have bad strings of games; ffs we supported Torres while he coudn't score to save his life.

You'd have a point if we had a competent option on the bench, but we don't, that's the reality.

Do it please, because i can't understand people that want Costa on the bench when the substitute is Batshuayi.

Yes i watched the whole season, what's your point?

Diego will score a hattrick, the horrorized lukaku fans will cry in desperation

We don't have Lewandowski on the bench mate

Nah, your post certainly is tho.

Dafuq is this lol

Very rational by Ballack as expected.

People calling for Costa out are so shortsighted it's not even funny, seems like they don't remember the post Drogba era of Torres, Ba and Eto'o because he's having a bad string of games in a season that he was our best player in the first half. We must absolutely not sell him unless the combination of him forcing out and a obscene offer arriving happens, there's not a single player in the market that's a guaranteed upgrade over him, and every change in the team is a gamble, we should take only the necessary ones. In: Sanchez, Belotti, Bakayoko, Left Wingback, Christensen and Van Dijk/Right Wingback depending on the position that Azpilicueta will play next season. Out: Batshuayi and loan the youngsters that won't be used. That's really it.

Yes, this is happening a lot. I don't think anyone was really bad this game, maybe Costa but he has a lot of credit, it just wasn't our day.

Thank god we did though, and hope he stays for many years

Nah that's Alonso.

It was a lack of concentration lapse, possibly caused by overconfidence, it's good to keep your feet on ground, too bad we couldn't win the game tho.

So if we keep losing and they keep winning, we'll lose our advantage? Holy shit, that's brilliant.

Guess i'll check who is the 2nd in the table again, thought it was Tottenham, but reading this thread i'm pretty sure it's Barcelona.

Can you elaborate on this wonderful math?

Definitely, team played well. We can afford tho.
