Loïc Rémy

Was he? I'm sure there was loads of times where Remy was on the bench behind Drogba.

At the start yes. But Remt then proved himself a goal scorer, very unfortunate with injuries.

[Tomo 21,751]

Delighted, but I really hope Mourinho will play him!

God knows what Remy did last season to not warrant a start when Costa was injured, but everytime he plays he seems to have the eye for goal. He's a great finisher and I hope he'll at least get a run of cup games.

Apart from the spell between Old Trafford and the Spurs home game (which Drogba was playing well in that period) Remy was actually pteffered more than not when Diego was injured and him and Drog were available.

Looked it up the other day and it was like7-5 in Remys favour and that was including the Autumn period Drogs got the nod when he was actually playing well.

Not good enough to be leading the line for us in the biggest of games where there is limited service and no space. But its ok we are gonna challenge for CL though with him leading the line...according to lot of people on here

[Tomo 21,751]

Hopefully this fantasy of him displacing Costa can end.

Decent back up but Costas football intelligence is 100 times better, we missed Diego's movement and intellegent play so much this half.

Lot of people who thought Remy can do well for us in Diego's absence

He can. And has.

[Parky 739]

He had a bad game. But I still think he will be important throughout the season. He will give us goals in the smaller games coming on as sub..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Sell him, he's shit, he played poorly for 45 minutes in a friendly against a side ten days ahead of us in pre-season preparation, what an absolute waster.

He can. To be honest a team that rely on a CF to win big things is not a team that is good enough.

He got cought in offside a bunch of times. It shows how much Arsenal defense was good and how much his form is yet to be built. Needs to do much better if he's to convince Jose not to spend majority of time next to Cuadrado bench when Costa is not on the pitch. Falcao was much better when he came on, fought like a fucking tiger.

[robsblubot 3,595]

regardless of what I think of him - he's a good player but not a great player - I don't think Jose rates him very highly. Last season 36+ Drogba started most games when Costa was unavailable and this season he's subbed at halftime after a poor/decent showing.

Reckon Falcao will be starting most if not all matches while Costa recovers.

needs to learn the offside rule
