Diego Costa

Fucking love this guy.

Wouldn't have been the worst thing for him to get that 5th yellow today and get the suspension out of the way against Sunderland.

Honestly, with the run of games we have now, neither him nor Cesc should be great misses for any of the matches except Spurs maybe, as long as they don't both miss the same game.

Thought about that but slightly disagree with it because our next opponent Sunderland are unpredictable, you never know what you're gonna get. Same can be said about the game against Spurs and that's a London derby and not to mention, we face an in-form Newcastle, who are one of our bogey teams recently especially at St James' Park.

His allround game was really poor against Westbrom. so many times moves broke down at his feet. He needs to do much better in that regard.

I agree that he can sometimes be pretty frustrating with the ball at his feet. He's never been the best technically but he does make up for that with his goalscoring and intelligent play (his off-the-ball movement is always excellent).

Short sleeves and gloves

Following a tradition of chels nutters. Proper chels legend in the making.

If he keeps up this goal ratio then in five years time he will have exactly around about one million goals to his name. Though I wouldn't trust meself I was never strong at maths.

Using "exactly around about" sorta gave it away

Fucking love that finish on Saturday.....eyes on the ball to the point it hits the net.........Quality.

What makes the goal even sweeter is the fact Diego hit the ball straight after the chest touch. There was no bounce of the ball off the ground which is usually the case. Amazing.

Yes, he is one of those strikers who is better at what he does off the ball as opposed to what he does with it, though his goalscoring record is better than any striker in Chelsea's recent history, so I ain't gonna complain!

The bloke is a monster. Love the way he carries himself

The most clinical goalscorer around in all of Europe currently :

Not bad otherwise either - joint 3rd overall in terms of goals scored (11), behind Ronaldo (20) and Aguero (12); 2nd overall in terms of goals per appearance (1.10), behind Ronaldo (1.82); 4th overall in terms of goals per 90 mins (1.18), behind Ronaldo (1.83), Neymar (1.34) and Aguero (1.22)

Yeah it's not great. In fact he's among the worst in those aspects (turnovers and dispossessions) across big strikers in Europe this season :

He's improving, though. His numbers per 90 mins last season were 3.92 (dispossessions) and 3.07 (turnovers).

I Hope he is not Injured .. An Injury now will only make us look like fools after all the international fiasco

Mourinho on Costa : "He took a knock in his leg. He is ready for Saturdays game."

[Special Juan 27,092]

Shame he didn't managed to notch a goal last night but he did enough for the team.

Saturday is his time again.

Did you just tell god to die?

Ah well, Nietzsche has a new mate. I kinda like it [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

[Jase 43,479]

Incredible to think that we have won our Champions League group, scoring 14 goals and Costa didn't even net one of them. Even Terry has found the back of the net twice.

Not instigating anything Tom. *in Benitez's voice* It's a fact!
