Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 He got mad in a friendly, can't say much more. :blue scalf: Sidzeret and 11Drogba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You already get the feeling he's going to be a huge success here. Keep at it, Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa19 858 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Superb player. Will be very very important for us. Love he's passion and aggressiveness.+ He got a cool walk style. Look's like a boss. :blue scalf: iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 What really made me happy with Costa is not his assists, goal and strength. It's how he got up and wanted to shove it up defender's arse for that tackle. That's what a leader and a brave player does and that's a player that won't be bothered by media when say he's a flop. Instead he'll make opposition shit themselves and score a couple of goals, and then rub it and anyone's face who doubted him. I'm surprised with his speed and at just how well he dribbles and controls the ball sometimes. In Costa we have one of the most complete strikers in the world at the moment, and I'm really bloody happy about it! And those 2 passes really speak about his attitude and passion for win. I'm really growing on Costa, he's a badass ! nachikethas and Tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenIsLegend 475 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This is my favourite picture of him so far.He scored, didn't really celebrate or smile but then Zouma comes bounding in with his infectious happiness and Costa can't help but smile.

He's beyond a badass, he's borderline mental But yeah, it's a great trait for a striker to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Haha on second look, his expression does have a hint of "do that again and I'll kill you" look! It seems like only Luis knows how to make him smile. He sure does... look at them fap tissues. TheIceMan and Jose M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I like a player with his fire ........ Really do. Im very very glad, he might prove to be more of a pissing piece then a Falcao. We need an agression factor up front with Hazard Oscar Willian and Schurrle behind it. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 1, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted August 1, 2014 In the SKY Sports News interview with Jose he explained that all the players are really surprised by the quality of Costa. Jose went on to speak about how he himself rates him very high and brings great quality to the team.

Barbara 15,149 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Was checking his stats now, and it's funny that half of his shots were on goal and half not, and half of the shots on goal ended up in goals (in La Liga). So he's shot accuracy % is 50% and his goal accuracy is 50% of shots on goal and 25% of shots in general. All those in 34 matches + 1 as a sub. 108 shots, 54 on goal, 27 goals in La Liga.

ANDRECHO 432 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think his stats are inflated by the fact that he very rarely takes shots from outside the box.Like Lewandowski. But Costa is better header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think his stats are inflated by the fact that he very rarely takes shots from outside the box.That's the way it should be for a striker as well. I don't want my striker to frequently take random pot shots from 25+ yards. Barbara, BlueLion., bababoom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want my striker to frequently take random pot shots from 25+ yards.Shots from outside the box (including free kicks) often go awry but can be effective particularly with rebounds and deflections. I think Guardiola's approach of no shots from outside the box is very limiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion 2,476 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think his stats are inflated by the fact that he very rarely takes shots from outside the box.At the same time his passing accuracy is the highest amongst our strikers and he's fairly strong which implies his link up play and ability to maintain the team in possession is really good when he can't shoot from close-medium range. If he isn't confident in his long shooting he shouldn't be overly trying them, I'd rather have him pass the ball while we keep looking for chances to infiltrate the box.

I think Guardiola's approach of no shots from outside the box is a very limiting approach.I agree, but I'd much rather someone like Schurrle - who is renowned for taking these type of shots from distance - take these sort of shots, and I'd much rather have Costa as the one who is scoring the rebounds. It certainly is no biggie. Almost every striker scores the overwhelming majority of their goals in the box. Barbara and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
