Diego Costa

Great! Really intelligent response!

Don't come complaining at the end of the season when we will be without a trophy because of the likes of Mourinho and Costa with their anti-football!

"Anti football" won us several trophies thus far.

"Anti football" won several trophies for several teams during the years.

Aside from the "incidents" i really wish he would stop trying to dribble people. His off the ball movement is great but he's just not skillful enough to take on defenders and is way to predictable.

He always tries to go past a player, sees he's not gonna succeed and then tries to cut back and go straight through that player.

Just pass the ball and get back into a goalscoring position.

don't be shocked if the FA suspends Costa for a few games. after reviewing the match video highlights. because every opportunity for the FA to kick Chelsea FC in the Balls they will do it with pleasure.

He should be skipped/ignored more often when he's far from the box. For some reason, he pretty much always gets the ball from his team mates. But that's stupid since he often loses possession or just ruins any kind of momentum.

Let him make his runs off the ball and exploit the space he creates.

(Diego dribbles like Torres btw. Useless dribbles right into traffic, trying to to go through players rather than going past them. I don't understand why managers allow them such freedom.)

Disgusting. While I laughed my way throughout the game, what he did does not belong on a pitch. The guy is more clever than his actions suggest (havent gotten a straight red since 2010 if I understand it right), but he is an embarrassment to the club.

Excellent role model for aspiring young players out there. He really shows how people should approach the game.

I get going off to the wing sometimes but it's like he spends most of the time of the wing.

Don't be ridiculous. The ref might not have seen it but Costa is surely going to get a retrospective ban.

You can't put your elbow into somone's neck, push someone in the face with 2 hands and then smack him in the face with 1 hand.

We got really lucky there. If the ref sees that it's a red card and we would have been a man down.

Diego is too weak and foolish to last long for this club. that's my view since the end of 2014. good luck swimming with him, Jose.

As predicted the usual suspects are here condoning and encouraging Costa's embarrassing and unacceptable behaviour/antics. He should have seen red for the incident with Koscienly alone but the ref missed it.

[lionsden 4,689]

I really don't get this. He is one of the most annoying players om the pitch.

Don't you see that he is doing more bad than good! Technically he is very poor!

He screwed up more than one attack because he didn't see his teammates and lost the bal a stupid way.

This is not a great player, just an annoying player who gets his team into trouble in more than 1 occasion!

If he gets suspended, which I hope will happen, it's because he clearly deserves it.

I've been saying this for ages. Too much drifting. He should always be in the box when the ball is in wide positions. Yet you'll (too) often catch him positioned on the left wing or behind play for some reason. It really annoys me.

And it's not just him. Not enough bodies in the box in most cases.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

He'll get a ban and deserve it and hopefully be a wake up call.every now and then seems to be a player whose a bit of a nutter and at the moment it's him

torres?

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Waiting when it is announced that he will be banned for 3-5 matches in the next couple of days for elbowing Arsenal players and everyone here to come out with the usual 'campaign against us', 'conspiracy' and other typical bs.

I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of the posts here are actually slating Costa's performance and behaviour.
