Premier League Gameweek 12

Has a striker ever made such an impact in his first 9 games as Costa.. 11 goals in 9 games.
 
Yeah, still not a red. Studs are not "up" or pointed towards player.

Both feet off the ground though so he has no real control. Could still easily land on Costa's foot or ankle if the timing had been off. Stupid thing to do from the player and can't have too many complaints in my opinion.

He looked perfectly in control (well, got the ball) and was 'far' from Chelsea player. It wasn't like Kompany's foul vs Nani, when if Nani didn't jump, it would've been bad for him, this time Costa was never in danger.
 
Ah, the advantages of not having key men playing for their country during the international break. Costa and Chelsea clearly benefiting from that.
 
I think the red was correct. There really isn't any excuse to go in like that. Stupid decision by a dirty player.

What? :lol: Easy red for me and I'm not sure why anyone would disagree. Jumping in like that doesn't have a place in football and should always result in the strongest possible punishment.
 
Pleasure watching us at the moment, Hazard is on a completely different planet to everyone else in the league right now, just waltzing past defenders at will. Fabregas with his 13th assist for us, Costa with 11 goals in 13 games, injuries have stopped that record looking even better than it is.
 
Chelsea fan/pundit talking shite about Hazard/Ronaldo on Setanta Ireland. Saying Hazard just needs goals to get to Messi/Ronaldo level and Ronaldo wasn't scoring loads at Hazards age. Ronaldo scored 23 goals in the season when he was 2 years younger than what Hazard is now.
 
Obvious red card, no debate at all.

But wasn't Lakaku offside? Yes, the ball was deflected off a defender, but at the moment the shit was taken Kukaku was in an offside position. Or have the Laws been changed recently?

No, he is not. I know you tend to overrate Hazard a lot, but Sanchez, Aguero, Silva, Costa, Fabregas, Di Maria are just as good as him and some of them even better. That's if we don't count the goalkeepers.

He is great, but please...

That's crazy :eek:

No he isn't. Please stop.

Perhaps in the alternate Universe where you dwell but not in this one.
 
Lets not turn this thread into Sheds Hazard comments! Lets focus on Fabregas and Costa having 25 goals and assists between them in 11.5 games!
 
What a ridiculous dive from Jovetic. Should have been booked.

How did you arrive at that number? Costa has 11 goals and Fabregas has 10 assists in the league
 
Had to be the worst FK I've ever seen from Brunt.

He was not in control of the ball, but in control of his movement and jump, it was far enough from Costa, who was in no danger at any point, and that's why I disagree.
