King11Didier 916 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like that he gives 100% of him every game. Yes, sometimes he is far from the actuall football, but he is passionate and it's easy to see that he cares about the team and the result.

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Remy is better than Costa.care to explain why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 He has a point...He is right. Not sure what happened, but I realized this is all he is doing at the moment. Very different from last season. I think people praised him too much for the wrong reasons, and now he thinks being a jerk on the pitch, winning fre-kicks, penalties and picking fights is what turn him into a good player.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Was not that bad even though clearly lacking sharpness. The way he assisted hazards glorious chance was brilliant movement. Also he got 3 city players booked which under a competent referee might have led to a sending off.On that same token if our players were not near him at the end of the first half he could have easily seen his walking papers too.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 care to explain why?Maybe Costa offers more all around. But I know Remy would score the same amount of goals as Costa if given the same minutes without all the drama. Depends if you like all the drama. It can be useful at times but recently I've found it detrimental. Henrique, lionsden and Peace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa's all round play/offering more to the team is the biggest myth going. Kieran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 And our search for a consistent striker continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 He was really bad yesterday. Mangala owns him the second time he faced him and somehow looks like that 30m guy Man City was paying for. It's not even that Diego was off form as was suggested, last year similar story while Diego stroke 7 goals in 4 games as I remember and he was owned in the same manner as yesterday.But we know that DC isn't best at football, right ? But our team is set up for him to play too much football and don't utilize his best attributes which is movement. Ok, Diego is partly to blame here, but more responsibility bear players behind him. Fabregas is put out of the game way too easily while Willian is the last man you can count on in looking for through ball. Or maybe the second last, because there's also Ramires. Who has to feed Diego then ? There's just Hazard, yes, that's it. And our striker starts to overcomplicate everything and gets into too much dribbling and try to be player he is certainly not. It's very difficult to find a striker these days, we tried Icardi and Dybala but we failed. No doubt we will come back for Icardi next summer but strikers are premium position while midfielders are retail products, there's plenty of them. We want to utilize Diego Costa while he is constantly owned by Kompany, Mangala, Thiago Silva or everyone that can match his physicality. We have to utilize his best traits and that are movement and instinct but we don't have players to do that. Either we find world striker with elite back to goal play aka Lewandowski or midfielder who can put a mark on these bigger games, who is able to keep the ball under pressure and has some creativity in him. Or we will continue to struggle with Diego Costa when he tries to be diffrent player than he is. Peace., DYC. and Blue-in-me-Veins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lito 180 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This game showed the huge difference between Costa and Aguero, we need skillful Striker like "Aguero, Suarez, Lewandowski" who's focus on playing football not fighting with other players. supporter and Tautvix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 To me his behavior is unacceptable. Ok, sometimes it's fun and very competitive. But Diego has believed his own character of "bad guy" and he is only thinking about fight against the defenses by absurd issues and protest against the referees.It's sad, because when Diego is with his mind focused on football he is one of the best forward in the world (maybe the best). But his behavior and the damn hamstring are destroying him.His behavior was controversial, at times, in La Liga. But in Premier League he can not behave in that way or Diego may be expelled many times. Which puts us in trouble on every play.Diego has to forget the role of "bad guy" and have a behavior like in the first three months of last season. Aggressive and competitive (which is perfect) but with his mind focused on football and forgetting the unnecessary fights ...Regards.

DH1988 1,348 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 We arn't playing like we did at the start of last season hence he struggles, its not rocket science.. we are playing into feet, back to goal, his first touch is awful, we always knew that, he's best given space to run into. I honestly think Falcao would have been a better choice at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 What exactly did Falcao do when he came on?He tried to shoot outside a box. In our two last match he only try it(dat goal from William was suprise.I think Diego need some rest on bench. Mayby with 2-3 game pause he will focus on goal.
