Whiskey 173 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 He's a poacher, exacly what we've been missing the last seasons. Just an old fashion striker who puts the ball in the net, doesnt have to do any fancy stuff. We wingers who do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa19 858 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I love this guy. I fucking LOVE this guy. I asked a known* swedish united fan today: "Who is the best striker in the world?" He replyed: "Diego Costa, because he slaughter ever defender, score goals for fun and make space for all other Chelsea attackers.*Knows swedish united fan = Writes for a swedish United page.

Share Posted January 18, 2015 He's much more than a poacher, as you can see by his great assist for Oscar's goal.@Pizy just complained about the media not giving him enough recognition. I don't care much about biased media that is basically United and Liverpool ex players or fans. What really bothers me is the lack of appreciation and not enough credit he gets in the forum.At least the fans attending matches are class and seem completely in love with him - as every Chelsea fan should (even if we criticize one aspect or other, I'm not talking about blind worship, but he deserves much more credit than he gets for his all around game and the slightest drought had people saying all kind of shit about him. Horrible) mediator, Pizy, The Skipper and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Chances created in the penalty area this season (up or down on last season).Man City 11.8 (up 0.1)Arsenal 9.2 (up 0.5)Chelsea 9.2 (down 0.7)West Ham 8.7 (up 2.0)Southampton 8.4 (up 0.5)Liverpool 8.3 (down 1.5)Man Utd 7.5 (down 1.4)QPR 7.4 (promoted)Stoke 7.3 (up 1.4)Newcastle 7.0 (down 0.1)Credit to fabregas for making our chances more clear-cut, and Costa for providing finishing of the highest level.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 We're making less chances because we can actually fucking take them now.Like all strikers, Diego will blow hot and cold and whilst he will have little streaks like now (four goals in three games) and when he first joined (seven in four), he will also go weeks without goals. However you'd back him four times in five to stick the ball in the back of the net. With Torres, I would normally put money on him missing. Him scoring used to come as a surprise.Diego is the best possible striker we could have bought. Well done to Mourinho and the boys who made this transfer come to fruition. We have our striker for the next 5/6 years and he will easily score more than 100 goals for this club. He already has 17 in 25 games, ffs. kellzfresh and bababoom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care much about biased media that is basically United and Liverpool ex players or fans. Using this to once again post the footballing brain that is His Highness Didi Hamann's pronouncements back in August : "Costa is overrated. He had a couple of good years for Atlético Madrid, but his biggest asset is his physicality and while he could bully defenders in Spain, in England they will not be scared of him; as we saw at the World Cup, he is not a ball-playing striker. He was badly found out for Spain. They should have kept Samuel Eto'o for another season and I do not see Diego Costa offering them much."That's not all ..."Cesc Fábregas is obviously a very good signing. I played against him a few times and he is gifted. But is he dominant enough to change Chelsea's style? Can he do that on his own? Has he got the players around him to bring out the best in him? I am not so sure."But wait, there's more ..."Forget about Chelsea, I have a feeling that Van Gaal's United will be the biggest threat to City."Fascinating. Go on, Didi ..."I am happy with the players Liverpool have signed, although they still need a centre-forward. Lambert and Adam Lallana have shown they can play in the Premier League; Emre Can and Lazar Markovic still have to do that but they are very exciting. Dejan Lovren will also improve the Liverpool defence, although the criticism of them was too harsh last season. They have moved to strengthen the full-back positions and are better defensively than people make out."Okay, one more ..."Arsenal look like the best London team" BlueLion., ZOS, Jype and 21 others 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rivals a few things we read here (not necessarily this thread). But no one here is a paid pundit so we at least have an excuse to say all kind of BS we want. Sort of.
