Decent article from Adam Bate who's one of the few English journalists that actually has a high football knowledge.

I was expecting a deep analysis of Costa's gameplay but nice article anyways :P

Great article. Nice read, the difference between quality journo and the biased one.

Cant blame him for trying to play their best player in the biggest match of their lives though...

Yes, I understand that but still shouldn't risk a player who's got a hamstring injury. He admitted himself especially after it backfired horrendously.

I think at that point he already knew that he was already gone in the summer so he didn't really care about his fitness this season.

If there was even 10% chance that Diego would stay at Atlectico, I don't think he would have been risked.

Costa's PL shot accuracy (shots on target) is at 91% at the moment. Talk about clinical.

I'm sure it is down to the type of shots he takes. Most are in the box and his technique is to smack it hard and low. Come to think of it I don't ever recall his shot flying high over the bar. But the only drawback of it is that it doesn't work as well from distance. I doubt he would ever score many wondergoals and curlers outside the box with it.

He hardly ever scored any from outside the box for Atletico. He's a penalty box striker so don't expect 30 yard screamers a'la Ibrahimovic.

Diego Costa has emerged from Sergio Agueros shadow and is replicating Jurgen Klinsmann with his seamless introduction to the Premier League... now the Chelsea striker is ready to down Manchester City
