so basically you want a striker that doesnt exist?

I think the fact Matic got ZERO votes in the MOTM poll in the Palace game and only 4 votes in the Man City game should show that he wasnt MOTM in either game. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/20572-chelsea-1-2-crystal-palace/#entry1138319 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/20520-man-city-3-0-chelsea/#entry1128176

Begovic Azpilicueta - Zouma - Terry - Baba Mikel - Fabregas Pedro - Willian - Hazard Costa Hopefully we can start to feed Costa again so he doesnt have to drift out wide to get involved.

What a player!!! now if he can start getting more goals from open play and get more assists as well, then he could go on to become one of the very best in the PL

i agree that Costa did contribute and wasnt bad at all, his stats show that, it must be a nightmare to be a striker for Chelsea right now, i have no doubt if Costa played for Man City or for Bayern Munich or for an attacking in form Chelsea team like the 1st half of last season, he would score goals for fun.

Baba is looking the real deal tonight!

nah there was slight contact, that is enough to knock someone over when running at pace with the ball

there was contact, when you are running that fast with the ball the slightest touch can knock you over

it wasnt a penalty but clearly wasnt a dive,

Rumors that Hazard said in the interview 'I dont know if i will be at Chelsea next season' that is why they haven't released it.

very true, that was the reason given, Rafa and Perez knew he was low on confidence and wasnt happy in Madrid, so they wanted to sell him asap so they could get more money for him rather then wait another season.

We would have to sign the right players and play possession football to really get the best out of him, signing the likes of Javi Martinez, Gundogan and Isco would transform Cesc back into a top class player imo. J.Martinez - Gundogan Isco - Fabregas - Hazard Costa

we will win this Liverpool are useless! no way will they come to SB and win!

Last season in the PL, non penalty goals Costa 19 goals in 26 games - 0.73 GPG Aguero 21 goals in 33 games - 0.63 GPG

Must win game! I think we will win well here. 4-1 Costa with 2, Hazard with 2

Great post.

and also remeber Aguero scored hattricks agaist Bayern and Qpr, Bayern were already through and not really bothered about that game, and Qpr didnt even turn up as they already accepted they were going down, those were games where Aguero boosted his stats by preying on teams who really were not up for it.

De Bruyne is a top player, but Hazard was better then him today, I wasnt that impressed with KdB today, yes he scored and got an assist, but its true, his goal was a Goalkeeping error and his assist wasn't what made Mertens goal, Merten should get 99% credit for his goal. De Bruyne is class though and Hazard and De Bruyne can lead Belgium to glory in Euro 2016 no doubt about that.

Jose Out! 5 games in and our season is over! Sack Jose bring in Ancelotti, the guy who has 3 league titles in his entire managerial career, the guy who when he is losing will make like for like changes, perfect replacement, some very clever Chelsea fans on here.

I think Costa is certainlly better then Benzema and Lewandowski, as for Barca signing him he doesnt have to be better then Suarez, if Costa was available and Barca wanted to sign another striker, they would of course sign Costa. how about trying to explain your opinion instead of calling people deluded. Because i read a lot of your posts and on many occasions have laughed at how bizarre they, i used to think you were just trolling but realised you are actually serious, i would put you on ignore but some of your posts are too comical to be ignored.

what would people rather happen us being in a very exciting/nerve racking relegation battle all season and finish 17th with a win on the final day to stay up and fluke the CL again or us turning our form around and battle back to win the PL on the final day, and get KO the CL in the Quarter finals?

if we lose this i dont think i woud even feel angry anymore, i think it woud just get to that point where you just have to laugh at how ridiculous our start has been.

Would Barca, Bayern or Real sign Costa, of course they would! if Costa handed in a transfer request and we accepted it, every top club in Europe would be queing up to sign him. i dont know whether you are just trolling or actually believe they wouldnt want to sign him.

he always does.

Well said.
