🇪🇸 Diego Costa

[Barbara 15,149]

Well, I think we should be realistic. Unfortunately he won't score every single match and like even the best strikers in the history of the sport, he will have bad days or days when the ball just won't get in.

I'm not going to look at the City game as a final test. It's yet another match. He's already proved his value, I just hope he continues to score... but we all know he won't score in every single match he plays.

We are probably gonna play much more like last season away so best he will get is 1 goal if he takes his chance. Maybe 2 if we are 1 up and at the end they go all out attack, which leaves spaces for us to go counter.

The match vs City is the big test. Him vs Kompany. Can't wait to see how he does against one of the best CBs in the world.

His final test imo. If he performs well, he'll have no problems eventually becoming a future Chelsea legend.

Kompany is the most overrated defender in the world. He's played against genuinely great center backs in training, I'm sure he can handle Kompany

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Even Mata has made Kompany look like a proper mug.

No he is not. He is a quality defender and you see the difference he makes to City when he is in the team and not in the team. Sometimes you have to accept a player's quality even if they are not playing for the same team as the one you support. He might make the odd error like everyone is suspectible to because he is human after all but I think he is an outstanding defender and probably the best in this league.

Amazing player. Watching Torres for so long I had forgotten how it felt like to have a world class striker in your team.

Loving these Costa sketches.

Ba and Eto'o were a breath of fresh air compared to Torres let alone Costa.

Man we really are were a strikers graveyard lol. Sheva and Torres' records are both laughably bad. Unbelievable start by Diego.

[Hamilton 2,120]

He's on his way to poy award, possibly epl to

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah, because Kompany is sooooooooooo gooooood.

Name five better centre-backs in world football.

He's over-rated (inasmuch as he isn't as good as people make him out to be), but he's still one of the finest defenders in the game.

Ramos.

Pepe.

Varane.

Godín.

Miranda.

And they played yesterday in the same match.

Kompany would start for all of those teams ahead of those players IMO.

I don't think so. They are perfect for his teams.

No way is Kompany better than Ramos, Godin or Miranda.

I think he is. Certainly better than Ramos, Godin and Miranda get a lot of protection in their system as well.

Kompany for me is still a top 3 CB. Sure, he wasn't that great last season but you have to look at his overall body of work as a player. What does Ramos or Godin or Miranda do better than him?
