I think a lot has to do with confidence. Conte has made him believe in his abilities again after Jose destroyed all his confidence last season like when he came on as sub and then got subbed off. Same as Hazard who was a shadow of himself last season but Conte has given both these guys their man balls back.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Seriously stop writing his technique and footballing brains off. I understand Costa can be a little deceiving sometimes as he is so aggressive, strong and mad but his movement, link up play and teamworks is fantastic. I even rate his technique and finishing as excellent. I dont think there is any other striker that could be a better fit to our team then Costa atm. The guy is class!

Could become PFA Player of the Year at this rate. Pure class and a bargain buy. Already indispensable to the club.

I thought he had a decent game. Certainly not a slow player once he gets up and going. Big frame and can deliver a decent cross. Won't ever be world class but Conte can mould him into a solid LB/WB given enough playing time.

Sublime. Only one of a few CLASS players at the club.

There's room for improvment, BUT he can overlapp and cross! [emoji4]

It hurts me to watch him play every time. Such a classy player and exactly who we need as our  #10 except Jose's idea of the perfect #10 is Oscar. Makes me wanna puke!

The energy, strength and dynamism of Essien combined with the composure, finesse and class of Makelele.
Trust me Kante will become a Chelsea legend!
 

In all honesty I think Luiz knows exactly how to play to the fans and media. The persona he carefully acts out has got him further than his rather limited defending ability. I personally don't see him even being close to a top quality CB at 29 years old. He needs to play alongside a world class CB partner like Terry and Silva to stop him from being a complete defensive failure. I really hope that something changes and Conte can make him a beast of a CB but like I said previously If Jose and Blanc failed at this then realistically there is little chance Conte can. Yes he is flashy and gifted on the ball for a CB but this will not make up for him getting lost in important defensive moments and being out of position in crucial situations.
Barbara is right his WC performance especially against Germany was exactly who he is as a player and person. He was running around the whole pitch like Superman oblivious to his defensive duties as a CB but that would have not been enough for his ego. The after match interview of him playing to the fans and camera sobbing proved my hunch about him. He plays for himself rather than the team and as I've always said he is a 'fake CB'. Terry and Silva are examples of genuine CB's who will give thier lives up to defend, position and tackle for the team then being more concerned about how good/flashy they look to their fans and media.
But in all honesty I really do hope he proves me wrong and becomes a world class CB for us.
 
 
 
 
 

Yea I think his top speed is decent but his initial acceleration is poor. As an example a player like our Hazard/Willian who both have great acceleration and agility will most likely rip past him. However if Alonso can position, anticipate and tackle well than he can limit this weakness.
