Diego Costa

[yuvala 2,167]

I seriously doubt Costa alone can solve our problems against sides like Sunderland that park the fucking bus. Definitely need some reinforcements in the centre- midfield.

Yes.

I've been trying to say how much we need a world class AM but everyone is too protective of our current players that they cant see it.

Yes we have great talented young AMs, but its not enough if we want to be the best team, if we want to win almost all of our games, if we want to win the league. Its really not..

Our defence made him look very average today. But I think that says more about our defence than it does about him.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Cahill and Terry had him in their pockets, can't be judge on tonight because he was up against two monsters.

Costa did hold the ball up well and had a few headers...

Think he would be our best option outside of Cavani.

[zolayes 14,489]

Cahill was superb tonight ,,, he has been good all season but tonight he went to a higher level ...

with him and JT playing in the WC ,,, England MIGHT ... just might have a chance

#cfc fans chanting "Diego Costa, we'll see you next year'' as #atleti striker walks past. Costa waves back

Probably had no idea what they were saying. He saw them probably smiling and chanting "Diego Costa" so he waved.

Hope I am wrong though! He was average today but that is only due to Cahill and Terry, just like they did to Cavani, Ibra and many more class strikers.

romanian pundits saying costa stepped on terry's foot before he jumped. couldn't see anything, even in the replays

Last news from Mendes's camp is that Abramovich said he wouldn't sign Costa. The Russian wants Cavani (via @diegotorresro) #CFC #PSG #Atleti

Who does Costa think he is talking smack to JT at the beggining of the match?

This exactly. Just what I came in here to post.

He wouldn't be playing against the best CB pairing in Europe every night when he's our player.

Thats how he is as a player (maybe as a person to). Tbf thats one of the things i really like about him.

Our defenders make the best strikers in today's world of football look like muppets.

[zolayes 14,489]

we usually buy players when they have a good game against us ,, and it turns out CRAP ,,,(not Salah) lets buy one who had a poor game against us

^Let's buy Messi then

You may actually be right.

I think it's clear he's not the messiah, just a grumpy little boy

I'm not sure how much of an upgrade he'd actually be? I still think fuckit - keep Eto and play Lukaku... And sign Bony or the dude on loan at Newcastle...

Cavanni too much of a risk, Falcao looks broken and the only other player is Messi or Suarez...

why? he was decent. we had 10 men behind the ball. and those 10 men had world class defenders. any striker in the world would have struggled to make a positive impact. i mean we are a team that have conceded the least goals in PL and just 7 in CL.

even then, his hold up play was decent. got players into the game continously. ATM simply dint have a chance as we dint let them create anything thru the center. balls into the box against GC-JT, even DD and ibra failed to make an impact.

so, dont think we should judge him on this match, specially when he is doing brilliantly what we really want him to do, that is scoring goals on a consistent basis against opposition of all qualities. just buy him, get lukaku back, and keep ba or promote bamford as the 3rd striker and we have a MAJOR upgrade over the ones this season.
