killer1257 3,282 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Our defense last season was top notch, but we was lacking on attacking department aka striker. But now we fix the issue with Costa, our defense starting to get worse.Why the fuck we cant have both of them at the fullest? As far as I remember,our defense was also shit in the last pre season.They just need a little bit more time,I guess.If Terry should start playing shit again like he did under Benitez,we still have Iva who can play with Cahill there.Azpi will always deliver a good performance,no matter which position he plays and Luis just needs time to know how Hazard movements are to know exactly when he has to defend and when he has to deliver a good ball in the box.Sometimes Hazard is too offensive and that´s why Luis should not always go forward,but his tacklings are very good and Mourinho is not stupid.He will tell that Luis is not allowed to go forward all the time against top teams because Hazards tackling rate is not that impressive,lol.If he retains his full stamina,he will be a very good LB.The only problem I see is Zouma because his defending style remembers me a little bit of Luiz xD.Not the technical aspect,no,I mean that his positional play is like Luiz so sooo bad haha.Terry has to give him a lot of lessons there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no bigger cunt in Portuguese football.That was a horror challenge.And it goes to show just how precarious our situation is: we are one bad challenge away from Torres playing significant minutes.

Iainrfc04 39 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hopefully another striker is brought in to back him up in case of injury. Would just help knowing you can bring on another attacker and actually know he's going to score or make the most of a chance unlike we had with Torres or Ba Flavio4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Bony will be a great second choice to Costa. We should have got him before he joined swansea when we had the clear advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namika 922 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2720859/Diego-Costa-Jose-Mourinho-s-battering-ram-Chelsea-season-growing-playing-alcohol-fuelled-football-streets-Brazil.htmlGreat article. Mel and Mendilibar are in no doubt that he will succeed in west London. ‘Chelsea fans shouldn’t worry too much about what they saw from him at the World Cup,’ said Mel. ‘Playing for Spain is very different to playing for Atletico Madrid where he was superb all season. And Atletico Madrid are lot closer to Chelsea in style of play.‘Costa will suit Chelesa and he’ll suit the Premier League too. He’ll find space in behind teams and he’ll thrive on the service from Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard and Oscar. He has the temperament to handle the Premier League and he knows how to look after himself.’That ability to run in behind people might even give him something even Drogba did not have. Mendilibar said: ‘He’s a different player to Drogba. He’s quicker and that means he is better at running in behind teams.’He may lack Drogba’s strength in the air but Mel said: ‘Maybe he doesn’t get on the end of every cross the way that someone like Radamel Falcao does but he is very clever in the way he makes space for himself, uses his body,’ he said.Both men agree the temperament will not be a problem. ‘Of course he has that little bit of nastiness that all strikers need and it is important that he doesn’t lose that because it is a big part of his game. But he’s clever with it,’ said Mendilibar.Mel believes the spell in the Spanish second division where ‘there is a red card every other game’ helped him learn how to keep his head. But his run-ins with Sergio Ramos and Pepe made the Madrid derby a heated affair. And it is clear Costa has not totally given up on the dark arts.‘There are some things you should not do in a game,’ he said. ‘But there are other things that are normal when you consider how much is at stake in a big match.’ His new boss would not want it any other way. Hopefully, we'll meet Real Madrid in the CL, it would be such a magnificient fixture with Costa history with Ramos/Pepe, José/Real and Ancelotti with us.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Bony will be a great second choice to Costa. We should have got him before he joined swansea when we had the clear advantage.I doubt we rate him that high, maybe some people will call for his head and said something he is not Chelsea material at this moment, if we have signed him last season. He needs to play regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So far what i've seen from him in pre-season I like what he adds to our team. He is strong mentally with the determination, confidence and natural goal scoring ability we have missed since Drogba left us.With Costa and Drogba at their full match fit readiness I think we have a good pair upfront. Torres is always going to be the weak link but I think his better position is on the flanks. So i say Schurrle should be the 3rd striker.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We need another striker. Costa wont have energy to do it for whole season ffs. If he will play all the time he will get injured or tired in key part of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
