lucio 5,418 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Can't believe you had Lacazette up there as a striker who is better than Costa. Are you serious?no idea, I don't watch football 20 hours a day. he scored over 30 goals, so I add him to the list, of strikers who might be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him but he is not in the same league as Costa right now imo. Like Costa, Lacazette has not started the season well too and has not scored a goal so far this season. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Cavani yes...He has the same intangibles as Costa but better technique..... Costa might have better accuracy and speed, but everything else I rate Cavani over Costa even when he was out of form last season. Cavani is so shit. Lol. He needs 20 chances to put one away. Not even the best striker on his team. Pacquiao and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Look Costa simply isn't WC by any stretch of the imagination. I couldn't care less about his goal record, Mario Gomez also had an insane record a few years ago as did Huntelaar.You say he didn't get any chances but I remember Hazard & Ivanovic putting him through in each half & him making a complete mess out of it. Unless he's spoonfed he usually doesn't score. World Class strikers can create their own chances for themselves & others. Costa can't. He gets regularly bossed by defenders that can match his overrated physicality as well. None of that aggro nonsense works in England.Would Barca, Bayern or Madrid sign a footballer like Diego Costa? We all know the answer. This is a World Class striker. Zero goals yet still put in an elite performance. lionsden and dimmas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabHazard 655 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 He should not be compared to drogba...drogba's hold up play and link up with other players is on another level...Not to mention his aerial ability...costa despite his decent height could not win one aerial duel...even lukaku is better than him in this regard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Comparing Diego to Drogba is unfair, for a good stretch of time DD was the best striker around in my opinion. And yes Costa is not bad himself, i'm really happy he's at our club, he's the least of our worries right now. Clockwork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i read a lot of your posts and on many occasions have laughed at how bizarre they, i used to think you were just trolling but realised you are actually serious, i would put you on ignore but some of your posts are too comical to be ignored.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He's just another player picking up his wages this weekHe tried and failed - I think he's also given up!Its hard to be the one motivated player in the group when everyone else is losing their heads...Costa's no Drogba, but he could still turn half chances into goals in the previous season.Costa's ineffectiveness in front of goal is just another symptom of our play this season...Mourinho after today was saying that we were punished harshly for mistakes made in defense...but what about our lackluster play up front? That can't be just down to simple "mistakes" can it? Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He is being found out for how limited he is, he is INCREDIBLY POOR TECHNICALLY and this is not even false. Can't even fucking dribble past any of their defender and if he cannot do this against Everton defenders what can he do when we play against the likes of PSG and other teams with actual super star defenders?Honestly think a combination of hamstring injury and his poor attributes being exposed means he is being found out badly. Honestly think he is heading down the Torres path at this rate, a player on top of the world with a couple of fantastic seasons but then ruined by injuries. We need to sign a top striker to compete/replace him next summer even if he scores 15 goals this season.wait, are you referring to the second best striker in the world and a player whose technical ability and "allround" play is superior to or at the very least on par with the likes of Aguero and benzema?. you can't be talking about the same Costa.

didierforever 7,349 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 it is actually SHOCKING to see how shit he is technically.i mean aerially, he has got to be the worst striker i have seen. cant even challenge for the ball without fouling. link up play is non-existent.and people actually had the balls of saying that lukaku's game was limited? lionsden, Shaan and dimmas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hahahahaha!!!Whatever Paul's smoking, give me it. Nowhere NEAR. Even last season. Shearer scores his goals through headers, which Costa is so limited in that area.Costa scored more headers and won more Ariel duals then Aguero, Suarez and Benzema last season while playing less games, he really isn't on their level is he? very limited indeed. jmarlow, MefiX19, Essien19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
