They have. As pointed out by ReddishBlue above, Costa won the August Player of the Month while Garry Monk won the Manager of the Month. And funnily enough, Swansea haven't won a league game since Monk got the award.

Its a jynx!!!Bit oo when found Costa won it.Usually they go crap or get injured

Di Maria is the player to watch when we face them. Their defence is still vulnerable though. We must take that advantage.

If we get the service right to Costa he could have a field day against whichever CB pairing they pick, they are all average.

Mangala is overrated, plays one match like he's the best in the world, next match with clumsy mistakes. Little bit like Luiz, you can't really count on him in every match.

Bit early to be making judgments on both how clumsy he is or if he is world class, judge after 6 months and you will have a solid case in point to debate.

I think this Chelsea side are getting a tad overrated. Hazard and Courtois apart theres nothing special about them imo. Yeah Costa is banging them in but that's mostly down to his physicality fitting into Chelsea's gameplay. Will he be as prolific when teams adjust to him a bit better? Even Matic is hyped up, just a big strong water carrier if you ask me.

Don't watch that creep Fabregas either, couldn't cut it at Barca and pretty much annonymous for a vast majority of the match.

Their defence looks more solid than it should because of Mourinho's sh*tty cowardly, compact, sit back and stifle, over cynical tactics.

To me there wasn't much in it. A bit of naivity by Gibbs and Sanchez allowed that little **** Hazard to catch us off guard. The killer goal came after we pushed chasing the equalizer, other than those two moments Chelsea done jacksh*t. It came down to a few minor details. If that **** Atkinson doesn't bottle it in fear of upsetting Mourinho then Cahill is off and the match changes. If Wilshere could actually control the ball properly and slots that chance away than again theres probably a different outcome.

His style of play is essentially poker, luck plays a huge part as he's hoping the opposition don't score a flukey goal, like Atletico did last year.

Although with the players and funds at his disposal you might as well add a few aces directly into his hand, his tactics alone only take him so far.

Either that fella is pure delusional or one of the more sane fans but is bitter. Arsenal fans must be wishing for the time to come where they can play like us in the big games rather than having to watch a tactically clueless Wenger and their team being out-thought, out-fought and out-gunned.

IMHO le voyeur is not clueless but instead very arrogant. He feels that his style of play is right way & he doesn't need to change it for any opposition. He can always point to the invincibles. I hope he remembers what side kicked the invincibles out of the Champions league[emoji13]

To call him arrogant at this point, after the countless thrashings, would be just too kind really.
