Beigl 1,387 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 His link up play was absolutely atrocious again. He didn´t even win a single header today, which would have been vital in the last 20 minutes. I really miss the times with Didier upfront, who was a master at laying off the ball for our players. Diego can be glad that he doesn´t have any competition for his place in the starting XI, otherwise he would have been benched a long time ago. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole game he was playing carefree, the fact that he knows that he'll start the next game however he plays in real time is the one thing that really boils blood. I can't wait till his self-entitled ass f*cks off. Conte should freaking stop pampering to him, starting him unconditionally game after game.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Absolutely shocking yet again. Nothing else to add really.... To what we've all been saying for months. kellzfresh and positivefootball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marflow 39 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think we would be better off with Hazard-Pedro-Willian, if Costa continues with these performances. Adnane and Despiadado.Maleante 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,050 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Can't score, so he's back to his old games of fighting with players. I'll say it again, he needs to be drop. positivefootball and nono 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We're gonna sell him in the summer. If we drop him his value will plummet. Best option we have at the moment. I don't suddenly want to change to Hazard up front at the final stretch when the title is on the line. Let's just bear through with it.

Stats 7,142 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 As bad as he was, he won us numerous amount of free kicks which allowed our players to retreat and get back into position. That was a key part. Was fouled numerous amount of times and was clever in that aspect. However still needs to improve big time.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 pretty sure Batshuayi would be a more accurate shot and more active on-side player right now. WTF. GTFO, Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's short and weak either, his positioning and body shape is always wrong when going for headers. He may even outjump the defender though his leap is crap, but his shit positioning and shape allows the opponent to get his head on first. And passing to him is like passing to a fucking wall, nothing sticks. Just awful. It's not a coincidence that the team's form has dipped together with Costa's, a ST who can't control the ball and get the basics right is always a liability and that's why we concede so much possession and face more pressure. kellzfresh and Beigl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 By god he's been fucking shite. Belotti needed in the summer. Complete striker, much better option than Lukaku imo. In fact we shouldn't aim for Lukaku as I don't believe he's good enough for us. If he is then we're not as good as we think we are.

Or MAYBE Roms better than some here think he is I knew there would be a backlash after his kick out last night. Hes his oiwn worse enemy. Everyone around me in the stands had their heads in their hands just wondering WTF is going on with him. Hes not seemed his bouncy labradour fun self in training neither from the pics/vids Ive seen. Theres got to be summet in his head thats thrown his game off so much. But if he gets a 4 game ban just WTF doo we do? I cant see Conte do a 360 and start Bats. So it will be Willian - Eden - Pedro. That is IF Moses is fit. Lets hope the ban doesn't woek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 He was terrible, anonymous nigh on all of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Poor game, especially in the first half. He is the major reason why we are not winning games comfortably again by giving the opponent back the ball almost all the time Blue-in-me-Veins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
