I just want the Diego from last season, fucking beast.

Could the accumulation of injuries be getting to him? He has lost the sharpness he used to have, but it keeps getting worse after every injury he gets.

This actually might be a fair point.

He does seem off.

Costa can play a single one two pass his team game is bad his attitude is bad instead of playing he keeps acting we are winning when we are losing two goals down. When can we find the Aguero kun kind of player? Attitude is perfect team game very good. Costa spoils most of our attacking play and think it fine.

He is heading down the Torres path, a couple of world class seasons then fade into nothingness because of injuries. The only difference between them so far is that one acts as a nice guy while the other acts like a thug but both are as useless as each other.

We seems to be a cursed grave for strikers bar Drogba and a good season from a striker doesn't seem to change that fact.

Funny you mention Drogba because he was wrote off numerous times with similar posts to these, especially one/two season wonder.

It's easy to remember the good times with Drogba now as he left both times via the victory parade bus, but his 8 years (plus his return) wasn't all garden and roses, far from it.

15-16 Costa +Remy + Falcao

League+Champs 4 goal 4 assist in 16 match

13-14 Torres + eto + Ba

8 goal 6 assist in 16 match

Fucking terrible.

[Special Juan 27,424]

As strikers go he's brutally poor right now. I'm on edge watching him thinking what he will do next.

Remy has to start after the international break.

west ham v Everton .. Moses given MoM and lukaka scores again .. Neither good enough for us .

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Loic Remy was honest. If he had just clattered into the keeper it would have given the referee a big decision to make,

But at least Loic Remy got into that position and that's why I think they have got to drop Diego Costa.

"In terms of struggling defensively they have been but up front they are lacking. Costa shouldn't have played against Liverpool because he wasn't fit.

"He struggled again in the week against Dynamo Kiev and again at Stoke. Chelsea just don't have enough options. Falcao is obviously a joke summer signing and he's been ineffective when he's been on the bench.

"I thought last week the fact Christian Benteke was on the bench for Liverpool, that's the type of player Chelsea should have on the bench."

Charlie Wyett (The Sun)

"Costa's a real issue for Chelsea," he said.

"It was five minutes in when he did the little flick of the heel on the touchline after winning a corner and you just think he's back into that mode of being more interested in winding up opponents than actually scoring goals. That must be infuriating.

"In midweek that incident with Dynamo Kiev centre back Dragovic happened after 25 seconds. It just happens every week and it's infuriating.

"This is a player who has had the backing of his manager through two disciplinary respective punishments. He should be out there giving his all to score goals and making an effort in the six yard box.

"He might drag players out of position and he is showing aggression towards defenders to unsettle them but he's preoccupied with that and he's not offering Chelsea any cutting edge at all. They need to find an answer in January to give them a bit of cutting edge up front because at the moment it's not Diego Costa."

Thoughts? Think they're both bang on.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I think he is one season player. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't hold the ball. No effective for team mates.

I wish he could hold up the ball or win balls in the air for the team or do something individual that helps the team. Recently, it seems all he's waiting for is a perfect pass for a one on one with the keeper. He has to create some chances on his own, that's what top strikers do example Neymar's goal today

agreed...Drogba's first 2 seasons were an embarrassment as far as play acting and diving were concerned....Costa hasnt a patch on that.

Think it took a talk from his team mates to get him to cut it out because most of the Chelsea support had given up on him and called him a total disgrace at the game.

Are they doing the same to Costa now???.... not at the match yet but it could turn

at least its Thanksgiving Day soon he could be stuffed and roasted before December
