Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yes Costa has not been good.But i can't stop wondering what happened to the guy that first arrived here. He had such good movement, which coupled with Cesc's form resulted in alot of dangerous attacking play.These days his movement has become borderline awful. And i can't shake the feeling he stopped trying because the people behind him ( Oscar, Hazard, Willian) don't ever seem to try and send a through ball to him early. All they do is 'dilly dallly' on the ball and pass the ball sideways.We should try to be more direct i feel, instruct our midfielders to support Costa in making those runs (like Schurlle used to do) and send the balls early into them.

I think he has got enough service (don't really care by who, Fabregas, full-backs or those three), and is his fault he never converted it. I remember A LOT of Hazards great low crosses with no one to tap it in at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Needs a strike partner to improveDidn't need one in his first season, so why now? We play with a single striker and Mourinho has his formation and that is set.Cancer of the highest order this bloke is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 tonight PSG took off Ibrahimovic when 0 0 at home put on de Maria and Cavani who scored in 85th min .. Luxury subs we no longer havedid not you get the memo. we should have a "small" squad. and who needs rotation when you can keep putting the same 11 every game regardless of the circumstances.also to be fair to jose, none of lukaku, kdb, mata, bertrand and now RLC, kenedy and remy were ever "ready".

WNDS 502 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Amidst all this talk about supposed 'player power', Costa is the one that gives me cause for genuine concern on that front; didn't he say that part of the reason his punishment for the strop he threw against Spurs was so mild was because he's so popular with the other players that he's near-untouchable? Even if he wasn't being entirely serious when saying this, it annoyed me when he first came out with it, and does so all the more following today's developments.

Ainsley Harriott 2,732 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I saw people praising him in the match thread but I really didn't see a change, apart form slightly improved positioning. Technique and passing still shocking and he's clearly slower. I'd ship him out for a better option in january tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Needs to be on his way. He's lost the fan base, and it looks like he has also lost a step.
