MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 wutHow do you know it's his hammy? He walked off the pitch unaided, he will be fine.Walked straight off similar to Di Maria in Copa final and he kinds of held it a bit. Think we are looking at min of 4 weeks out even if it not serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lito 180 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Calm down we have Falcao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Calm down we have Falcao Well at least he is a pretty good pen taker, just need Hazard to win us at least once every match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. 2,742 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 got a bad feeling about him and his injuries this season.Hope Falcao can step up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Even if he's out a few weeks we should be fine in the short term. Falcao has not looked bad, and I have full confidence in Remy against swansea,Man city, west brom, and Crystal palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a feeling he is playing on the border of a very long time out soon if we don't do surgery(3-6 months approx).Either way relying on Costa as 1st choice striker is a terrible idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Remy could probably handle more games than Costa in terms of fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Remy could probably handle more games than Costa in terms of fitness.He was too good last season, who to say it will ever be the same again with this hamstring keeps occuring? He has already shown in preseason that he is not exactly at his best form and sharpness, imagine sitting a few months out without touching the ball...Torres was good too in 2009-10, 6 months later we all know what happened, he was never the same again. Also we don't know how good Falcao is yet, these 2 games so far shown nothing but the fact that he can't press well and takes good pens. Remy is proven but we don't know how he will do in the biggest of matches. It is one thing scoring consistently against the likes of Sunderland and another leading the line against Barcelona in CL last 16. At best he could be our own Giroud but that won't win us titles.

I also know our defense and midfield is what our titles are won on, and I don't see that out if Costa is out or have a slight dip in form. jeronimo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I don't see any reason to be concerned. I think it's more possible he just put his hand there because he knew he had a bad match (finishing wise) and was trying to save some face rather than being really injured.

If it is just BPL then I am not worried I think Remy can get 20 goals if he is playing consistently every week and with goals from around the team it won't be a problem for us. It is really the CL that is my concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually our midfield wasn't that sharp for a couple of months this year. Our attack with Had and Costa and then Cesc providing assists is what won us the title last season. Our defense wasn't nearly as solid as in years before, although it didn't exactly compromised.We need to move from the defensive approach and get onto higher things. We have the personal for that, Mourinho needs to be more unpredictable this season as he said twice in his latest interviews. I hope he remembers it and actually brings that to the pitch. kellzfresh and Sir Mikel OBE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho knows that defending in every single big match will become predictable and everyone will start tactically preparing for us to stay deep against them. So we have to surprise some people by attacking like we did in the first half against Barcelona. They won't see it coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think we are going to be without Costa for most of the season - he needs his hamstring sorting or its career over... I'm fully expecting him to be unavailable until December.It makes no sense in not sorting the problem - the longer you leave an injury the harder it gets to correct - too much scar tissue forms and complicates everything Get the lad sorted once and for all.

Leif 6,006 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We don't need him. We would certainly be better with him, but we've thrashed teams with Torres up front, looked like Barcelona with Ba up front and we already know that Remy would be getting 20+ goals at pretty much any other club that'd give him the game time he deserves. With Falcao added to that I see no problem. Diego hasn't had his shooting boots on for a while anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
