oldportblue 547 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Quote Costa is becoming a massive liability. Can't score for shit and terrible attitude on the pitch. -nono great post from the match thread bro, do you have anymore amazing insight? Great performance by the team, lacked just that bit of creativity without fab in there but still looked good overall... hopefully one or two more signings and we can compete for the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekid9 418 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 My throat is still sore from the bridge! Awesome night under the lights! Plus points - Hazard, Oscar, Kante...and the defence were solidish Negatives - indecisive in final third, Matic, pedro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's a bit of both actually. I love Cescys creativity but alot of us are forgetting we got an excellent option to him OR Osacar/Matic in Chalobah. He runs all over, got good offence/defence and a real B2B player. Plus he's HG. I know hes satill only 21 but hes got alot of great loan expereience Forest,Middlesbrough,Burnley,Reading.Napoli. We stick Chalobah/Matic/N'Golo together and cant see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus to that he got excelent longshots and great defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the guy & hope he goes on to have a solid career but I just don't understand the blind faith in a player that's only found success in the Championship 4 seasons ago. He couldn't buy a game at Napoli & Burnley in the top flight yet he's suddenly the answer to all our problems because he had a few decent cameo appearances in pre-season.

I aint saying the lads the second coming but he offers us a DIFFERENT option to using Matic ond or Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
