Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Drogba used to flop around like a salmon on a river bank,cost us the 2008 European cup and if his head wasn`t in it was completely useless regardless of what service he was given from behind. he was the ultimate looked like tarzan played like jane player in our history. do I love him,for the good times yes,when he matured,he mostly cut out the shameful behaviour. his latter years went a long way to make up for the earlier shame but not enough for certainly me and those who don`t have selective memory to forget them.as Costa is in his early years,i`ll say I am enjoying them far more than I did Drogba in his. from them as individual players and as team mates.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 You can also always rough up some of the more skillful/smaller players. I dunno maybe we're just thinking in an archaic manner.....(not that I'm saying Costa is better than Aguero!)Neither am I plus Aguero can handle himself, I'm thinking more striker who's quite flashy andskillfull but not very in touch with the tactical side of the game.

zolayes 14,489 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Honestly, I kinda didn't ever like Costa anyways He's always been a goal-scoring twat with a bit of a lovable side though...Also, the Christmas meltdown I've seen almost every year since I started watching Chelsea came early this year!think what it will be like when we have a dip in form ? :readthemessage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people honestly change their colours faster than a chameleon ;p Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 31, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted August 31, 2015 When costa first came, everytime he ran fabregas tried to get the ball to him, direct vertical through passes from midfield. But now costa rarely gets direct passes anymore so his runs are now wasted. He doesn't have great holdup play especially in the air, but his strength is his runs so if our players are not utilizing it they are wasting him.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I thought he was good yesterday. Had he scored you would all be shitting rainbows again about how quality he is smh.I agree, whilst I think he was looking for a fight on Saturday, in general, considering he was feeding off scraps, he didn't do too badly. Delaney did a superb job on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was wondering why people never saw that since he first joined, now suddenly everyone is saying it and I don't feel like I'll be cruficied for saying "Costa's a fackin man baby" :'DGlorious days.Nor will you get crucified for questioning Mourinho anymore.

termninja 5,290 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 He just isn't built to play for Spain. I was raging last night with their midfielders killing the game with pointless passing while Diego was running around like he's punished Such a big shame to me not to see him play for Brazil yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Dread to think which DC may turn up Saturday. Can see frustrations mounting to a point he does something stupid.Would like to see Costa the striker and the media talk about his football afterwards.

lionsden 4,689 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I can't stand the thought that he will likely be our main striker for the foreseeable future. He's simply not worth the drama and baggage he brings with him and we should be doing much better than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's simply not worth the drama and baggage he brings with him and we should be doing much better than him.He is the 2nd best striker on the planet behind Suarez and what drama and baggage? he never gets red cards, other then the 'stamp' which I dont think was even deliberate I don't see the problem.The guy is a world class striker, and I am so happy he plays for us.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Nearly choked on these noodles I'm eating when I read that lmao.He'd be lucky to make Top 5. A striker that cannot adapt to Spain's system (keep in mind Torres who's way past his prime is their top scorer in their last 3 tournaments) is the 2nd best in the World lol.
