Diego Costa

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'm not surprised by the underaprecciation of Costa, even Hazard and Courtois Dont get the credit they deserve on here (while a wankfest goes on in the threads of their national team mates who use to play for us)

Yes he missed some glorious chances today, but he still scored the winner but many times Ronaldo has missed chance after chance before slotting home, no I'm not saying Costa is on his level anyone suggesting that is insane just saying people gettig their knickers in a twist on him missing chances in a game he scored the winner is ridicolous.

As soon as we hit form, his goals will come.

That's all well and good Tomo, to talk about megastars like Ronaldo when they have a slump but in this moment right now Costa isn't putting in the performances expected of a player in a world class team. His movement and willingness to make any kind of run has really gone down. That's not a under appreciation, that's calling out facts. Yeah, on song Costa is a fantastic striker, but the amount of chances that went away yesterday because our undisputed CF can't be bothered to make a near post run was awful. We should've killed off Norwhich long before Costa scored.

[Kieran. 6,317]

if you say so.

feed Costa and he will score. Simple. once he is fully confident and back in form he will start to make it look easy as well.

Yeah because he scores a shit-load when he's hanging out by the corner flag...

[Special Juan 27,424]

Resting on last seasons laurels like some still. Massive fan of him when he is on fire but this constant cloud of doubt is a worry, like others he needs to take a long hard look at himself and start motivating himself again.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

We all know he lacks technique the main problem is his movement. He spends far too much time outside the penalty box for my liking and even when he's in it he just stands on the edge of the box like a mong. A proper striker would've scored from at least one of the countless crosses Willian & Hazard put in yesterday.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

That game was calling for Remy. He showed at Stoke that he's in the right positions, he would've got loads of tap ins with all the work Hazard was doing today. Mourinho's stubborn stature comes into it again, since when is this man so weary of dropping big names?

My mom on Costa: "Who's that guy? He looks like an ISIS terrorist!"

Diego Costa: Of players to attempt 100+ dribbles in the PL since Aug ‘14, only Routledge (36.9%) has a worse success rate than Costa (38.1%)

Surely our coaching staff can't keep letting this continue?

Genuinely curious, what constitutes a "dribble"...I feel most of the time (when he receives it anywhere but inside the opponents area) he just runs as fast as he can to the corner flag and then holds the ball until one of the little guys come and then he lays it off.

I really don't remember the last time he got the ball and actually beat a defender to put himself through.

[DYC. 7,542]

What's happened to his positioning and anticipation? I used to praise him for it but it's gone.

He's doing his best Torres impression. Fuck sake lad.

The most expensive trash

He'll still start vs Tottenham though right?

I think you mean he will be on the pitch ..

[bethos1 802]

He can't keep getting away with these shitty performances...

Taking early bets, over/under Costa punches the pitch 4 times for failed flops that are NOT given as fouls?
