That made me laugh, never enough of Torres bashing

Yeah, that yellow could should be erased if we appeal, but hey its Chelsea. In what world will FA do us a favour

can we appeal? I don't know the rules.

Mourinho's words on him:

“We’ve explained to Diego Costa what people like in the Premier League, what we don’t like, and the kid presented himself here with a fantastic and polite attitude and he was booked. The kid wasn’t happy and I hope he doesn’t get any more unfair decisions.”

and LOL FOREVER at Mourinho calling him a kid. I know he's young, but then I look at his face and I think is drug cartel lord for a couple of decades, lol.

I hope there's a way for us to erase that yellow.

Glad Jose didn't subbed him off for Didier, let him enjoy his night. Perfect debut, Torres can rot on the bench

oh and hopefully Chelsea can appeal against that yellow card. Penalty all day long

yellow cards can't be rescinded .. just another idiotic rule ..

can we appeal? I don't know the rules.

Unfortunately not

My bad, I eventualy found we cannot appeal, its stupid rule...

Yeah, not going to take long before Costa starts calling Mourinho daddy

Old man Costa!

I said this in pre season so this isn't a knee jerk based on tonight but I have honestly not been do convinced about a signing for so long, this guy has everything to succeed especially in our system.

Diego Costa v Burnley

he's fast

[communicate 2,703]

Decent goal, but his link-up, his holding play his rub, and his presing was brilliant

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

One aspect that i know we all love but hasn't really been touched upon was his pressing. My days, he is relentless, and the way he instructs his team-mates to do the same is phenomenal. There were a few times where he'd press and Hazard and Co. just watched him, which understandably got him upset, but over time our AMs will have to follow his lead.

But one thing that struck me while noticing this was that, surely, just surely this would mean we are in for another striker. There's no way we can successfully carry out our pressing with Drogs/Torres at the helm, and it would be a disservices not only to Diego but for us as well if we ran him into the ground.

Fantastic debut in official match for Diego! He pressed, terrorized the Burnley defense constantly, scored the equalizer and was unlucky not to be given and penalty.

He has all the qualities a top striker should have and I enjoy watching him in attack - a pacy battering ram with great goalscoring ability, very dangerous in the penalty box and is extremely hard to be pushed off the ball.

I can't wait for the next game and I'm really excited to see more of him as the season progresses!

Costaaaaaaa

[petr.breu 1,618]

I can't belive I was against his transfer to Chelsea I should be ashamed... Really like this guy, hope he will continue in these fantastic performances...

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Looks like he will be getting at least 20 goals for us, would be quite fun to look back 20 pages or so in May next year to see who had got his goal prediction right

[borriske 330]

Seems like he just about shaved that Burnley defender's nuts off

[Tomo 21,733]

If Costa gets a hat-trick against Leicester and one at Goodison, he would already be a quarter of the way to Fernandos league tally for us.

Assured finish, no tippy happy shite……he did the right thing, just fucking leather it.
