Diego Costa

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Can't help but to feel the state of this thread right now...

yep some massive overreacting

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Imagine if we signed him just before the match, there will be riots.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Ffs Dry your eyes! Crying about him having a dark side and being edgy! GOOD, that's what we need instead of that tit torres dancing round the ball on the edge of the 6 yard box.

No that's not what we need. He's been doing this shit far too often and I'll be super annoyed if he does it with a Chelsea kit on. It's not edgy nor intimidating, it's full on stupid.

How come no one is biaching about Costa pk call like yesterday's Fred pk?

[Sheva. 5,373]

I'm not worried about the performance. 2 things that did bother me though were; the headbutt. As already mentioned, he does that shit too often.

Also, he got a great pass earlier in the game, and he didn't even get a shot off. It shows a lack of confidence imo, and there's nothing worse than having a striker like that.

But all it takes is 1 goal to get back in the groove.

[Polo7 3,496]

The worst thing is that his behavior is clearly his best attribute, he is average at best without all this stupid acts.

Lol what?!

[didierforever 7,349]

one of the better players on the pitch for spain... his runs are very good. which is not much shocking. his first touches looked very off today which i would have said were brilliant off what i saw off him in ATM.

involved in almost everything good for spain...

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Spain don't look to use a big CF so he is wasted. Made good runs and was singled out for praise in the first half by the pundits for bringing a more direct dimension to Spains game. To say he's average and so on is nonsense and is to say jose (the king of microanalysis) hasn't checked him out enough...garbage

Must mean he was very poor, then

Costa is not a world class striker, he is overrated and people keep defending him like he is Pele. He is not a striker that can create something out of none where like Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, Suarez and so on. Most of his goals are simple tap ins. He is not a big game player, and has a horrible attitude.

[calculatingInfinity 1,452]

Personally I can't wait for him to spit at Aggers face, and possible break into Arsenals training ground to carefully ejactulate in Wengers yogurt.

[Polo7 3,496]

Lol. Some people seem to forget we went through last season with 3 nobodies in attack.

Costa only scores tap ins apparently, well Torres cant even fucking do that.

I have to agree with this to be honest.

He doesn't really have that "it" factor about him like Suarez, RvP, Aguero and those guys who just about every time they get the ball you're expecting something special to happen. He doesn't score any spectacular or magical goals where he creates some magic out of nowhere. Just about all of his goals are pretty simple ones.

All of them count the same, though. I do think he's clearly a level below those top strikers. He's not the type of player who can single handedly win you a match even if your side is playing like shit like RvP did for United and Arse a couple of seasons ago.

Next season if we can't break a team down we will probably be relying on Hazard again for individual brilliance. Not saying that Costa is a bad player, but no-one there is on Hazard's level and like you say I don't think Costa can make something out of nothing like the best strikers. He's also bound to get himself suspended for large parts of the season!

[calculatingInfinity 1,452]

Good thing he isn't a big match player, we clearly need small game players so we can avoid dropping points to West Brom, West Ham and fucking Sunderland.

How come no one is biaching about Costa pk call like yesterday's Fred pk?

because Spain lost by 4 goals. Last thing anyone cares about is the one goal Spain scored.

[Toli 977]

We should sell Azpilicueta, freaking awful today !

[nono 791]

Can we honestly say he is significantly better than Lukaku ? To the point that we should pay 32m for him when we have Lukaku ? I am very scared because this seems like another disaster signing waiting to happen when we are still barely recovering from the Torres debacle.
