Didn't get credited but could you envision anyone else making a first time hit into space for Diego? He was exactly what the game needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't assist in my eyes but it made Mccauley panic and make a mistake which Costa punished him for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Patience is a virtue. Diego Costa - at Middlesbrough is the first one to hit that ball in a sea full of Boro players. Against Man City scores the first goal out of nothing, makes the second one after a beautiful centre forward play. Now single handedly wins this match that had boring draw written all over it. Superb player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vital win but we need to be better in the two away games coming up. Thank goodness for this post. It puts any criticism which is due for today's game where it belongs, not misguidedly on West Brom. For me, all the criticism of Tony Pulis in the two game threads is wide of the mark. West Brom's manager did what he had to do and did it very well. His side executed their game plan and, had they played just a little better in possession, we could have been in big trouble today. Causing problems for the opponents is Pulis's job, not making we fans happy. He was beaten today but not by the opposing team pattern, nor even by the opposing manager. He lost because of a brilliant piece of play by a centre forward at the top of his game. Diego and Gaz apart, we were not great today but we got the job done. That will do for me. Just hoping to see Antonio and the team to their work for the rest of the month, and the squad builders do their work in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Drogba 2,000 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Pulis and his kind take advantage of bad referees in England. They say he is inspired by Italian football. I say he would be fired in a month in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having similar discussion with an Arsenal fan when Pulis was at Stoke, he didn't like the physical defensive football and i said he does what he can to have his side competing, its up to the big boys to "compete" with them.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Was at the game and said we needed an early goal - didn't get it and thought we looked slow and lacklustre - I don't like the early Sunday games!!! what a goal from Diego though - amazing! Simply amazing - from nothing. WBA did what we all expected and if Rondon could hit a cows arse with a banjo might have been in trouble. Luis had a shocker - but happy he's gotten it out of the way stamford bridge was a nice place to be again! KTBFFH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 "By introducing someone of Fabregas’ creative quality into a central role, West Brom were no longer able sit so deep and invite Chelsea onto them, while Azpilicueta and Alonso retreating into full-back roles created space in wide areas with Brunt and Phillips no longer charged with a man-marking task. It was here where Costa found joy as, for the first time in the match, he was able to exploit space behind a defence." http://www.squawka.com/news/antonio-conte-twice-reshuffles-chelseas-line-up-to-thwart-the-premier-leagues-master-of-the-rearguard-mentality/849847 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
