Costa continues to defy the ones that say he's too technically below par. Like I said when we signed him, his technique is unorthodox but it's good enough. 

Would love to see that gif of his control and nut meg turn for Pedro's goal. Sublime performance, just a bit cold with his finishing. 

His technique is below par but he is a few striker who can play as both target man and poacher.

He tore West Ham a new one. He showed some brilliant pieces of skill. That first touch to take the ball past Jagielka (after the crazy Pedro skill) which he should've scored from and of course pulling the ball out of the sky & the smooth nutmeg to help set up Pedro's goal.

I'm fine with him dribbling into packed defences this season tbh. My only gripe with him is his poor passing.

Another great game from the beast, should have had a hattrick, oh and fark off back to Ireland, Coleman.

Anyone who says Costa has bad technique is a fucking idiot. Yesterday he was absolutely amazing. (our 5th goal....wow)

His technique is definitely improving as is his decision making.

Injured in training for Spain and will miss the England game...FFS.

[BoyBlue96 990]

Fuuuuuuck he has withdrawn from Spain's squad through groin injury...

 

Shall we ready the Bats-signal for the Boro game...?

Lopetegui  says he arrived with it!!

And with Eden limping off after their game I'm realizing why I'm not interested in national games anymore. But I suppose I realize why the players are.

It did make me laugh a little with us only having 1 in the England team when not so long ago we were the backbone. But personally I think its daft having to use so many HG players in this day and age. Its an open market and clubs should be allowed to gert their players from anywhere. IF a players good enough and gets the right luck he will find the level he should be at. Whether hes English  or from outer Mongolia. Once they put on our kit they're Chelsish!

Thankfully it's only boro so Michy will be enough I think. 

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

fark Costa injured, hope its not too serious.

[akgw13 867]

Maybe its a minor knock that just needs rest and a little rehab, Spain does have Morata on form so they might have said don't even take the chance. I am hopeful he will get back and be alright. I am confident in Bats playing against borough the focus for costa should be healthy for Tottenham.

[Milan 17,955]

Of course. We are doing great, having fantastic momentum and here come the bloody internationals and you already have information about injuries, players limping off. Of course. Hopefully he will return to London, have a rest and will be fine.

[Darogba 112]

I don't think it's that's serious. He will get some good rest and hopefully be ready in 10 days time.

Batshuayi should be enough to beat Boro but we need Diego Costa back for the Spurs and City matches. Praying it's nothing serious

Agree, rest Costa until Tottenham match, Mitchy needs to step up, these are the 2 games im really looking forward to, 2 massive tests for us, good luck to the team. Cheers
