Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 His diving was embarrassing, deserves some time on the bench for that.Looking at his form he'd probably miss the bench didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 diego relies on chances in the box, something he wont get here. so i'l go for the striker who can dribble past one marker, can jump and provide holdup play and can finish from 25-30 yards on either foot.Fixed didierforever and lucio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 shows how bad we are in attack! It must be very frustrating playing as a striker for Chelsea right now stroey and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 so basically you want a striker that doesnt exist?Costa can dribble sometimes, but he has no hold-up play and can't shoot from outside the box. It's not his fault that he's playing for a team that can't create chances but that's how it is for us. We would be better as a team with a striker who can cope better in our teams current situation.

Spike 12,049 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 There is nothing I hate more than seeing someone trying to justify a striker's bad form and performances on the rest of the team. Well, guess what? A bad striker affects the rest of the team just as much; it makes wingers look bad for instance, if their striker isn't finishing their crosses and passes. Diego Costa has been terrible and it is not because of the team, it is because he has been terrible. It doesn't help that the team is pretty bad too.He gets his chances and does nothing with them.

So I imagine if he and the team ever get back on their feet he'll be scoring again. lucio, DYC. and jmarlow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucio 5,418 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 well we must have the best conversion stats as we have scored 16 goal from 8 clear chances.. its all them freekicks, own goals and goalkeeper mistakes. also the random ramires and matic goals.

Diego Costa could easily have the same amount of goals as Mahrez or Igalho if his form were better. He has had the chances, he has screwed them up. Costa gets ample service for a player of his 'calibre'. Stingray, zolayes and Reddish-Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 he clearly doesnt though, and the numbers back that up, what good chances has he missed this season?Everytime he has dived with the ball in the penalty box. I can't think of any exactly (I could be remembering wrong, from last season), but I'm sure that he has chances to at least get the ball on target but he has fucked up by taking a touch or diving. I just expect that a £32,000,000 striker to have the ability to score from even the most unlikely passes or crosses. LIke this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV0NlTwUaXAWhy did he not shoot? He should have buried that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
