Jase 43,479 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I bet he won't have one single red card this season.I think he's only had 1 red card in the last 3 seasons, which isn't that bad tbh.That's such an understatement and you're making out as if he had lots of red cards before that.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 That's such an understatement and you're making out as if he had lots of red cards before that. Apparently he's had 7 in his whole career which is quite high for a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa got away with a lot in La Liga though. Could and should have had a lot more red cards/retrospective punishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Costa will shine under Mourinho. Aggressive and not afraid of contact, easily a Mou favorite.In that case, Zouma will start every game ahead of Terry then?There's much more to his game than just aggression and contact.

The Chels 2,502 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just looking at this cunt makes me want to strangle him.I wonder where we'd have come if he didn't disallow the Matic goal or send Wilian off against Villa. That was such a turning point (although we do have ourselves to blame too). kellzfresh and Barbara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could miss a fair amount of games with all those yellow cards. Barbara and The Skipper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could miss a fair amount of games with all those yellow cards.Tbf, out of those seasons, the max he's missed is 3 games (via yellow cards) every season which isn't even that excessive tbh. Timing of the these suspensions could matter though. Dion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing of the these suspensions could matter though.I was thinking about the timing specifically. Specially because we have only Drogba and Torres as back-ups. It could really hurt us in the UCL, for instance. This season was really scary though: "2011/12 - 9 (9/15+1)"9 yellow cards out of 16 league games? Worrisome. We also have some cunt refs in England which could increase his numbers. Hoping he will restrain himself a bit whenever big games are close.

PL refs are cunts, but they do seem to be more lenient than Spanish referees in general. Hopefully this is the case with Costa.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hope not, but I could see he will get many yellow cards. Expected his first suspension for Chelsea is from yellow cards cumulative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion 2,476 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Tbh, in Spain they give out yellow cards more easier. PL refs are cunts, but they do seem to be more lenient than Spanish referees in general. Hopefully this is the case with Costa.It seems to go both ways. They'll award yellows to some silly stuff that should have been regular fouls but will award yellows to stuff that should have been direct reds IMO. Costa and Ramos could have seen way more reds then they did all those times they faced each other for example. And I don't think Spanish Federation punishes those unseen infractions enough either, which the English will most certainly do if they happen.

oman43 45 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yes the timing of suspensions could be a problem. But I would much rather see his agressive style of play. It gets not only him going but the crowd and players too. Hes a defenders nightmare - he started on JT for god sake!

OneMoSalah 8,954 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 As long as he doesn't get booked for being a diving shitebag I couldn't give a fuck. He wont either because that is one thing he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 He's too physical for the soft La Liga - with their tika taka bullshit.I think England accepts more the physicality. He isn't violent, he's just rough and shove people around with his body. He's the annoying guy that won't back off, but I wouldn't say he is unfair, violent or a cheating cunt that bites on people.I think he may get a suspension. It's one match after five yellows and three after eight yellows or the suspensions are three and five? I ALWAYS get confused about EPL suspension rules for booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Balotelli's record for that?And curious how many of those are straight red cards for Costa.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
