Chelsea are going to try this again vs Liverpool. Won't work though, Liverpool are far better than Athletico.

They are but Liverpool are a team which prefers to press quick and counter on teams, when teams sit back they don't find it so easy to break through.

They break through everyone regardless.

Athletico are really bad at heading the ball.

y va marquer

Come on Villa make this interesting.

Worst game I have seen this season. Chelsea came for a 0-0 draw and will get it.

Qwiss

This game must have knocked about £10m off Costas price tag.

goon

Costa hasn't really looked like a £50m player tonight, not even close.

y va marquer

It's in games like this where you expect the brilliance of a top price striker to make the difference

IBL

Typical, the first full game I see Costa play in and he looked no better than Bendtner

goon

0-0 is always a good result at home, means all Atletico have to do is avoid losing at Stamford Bridge.

You at least expect flashes of brilliance, but Costa, much like Cavani, looked utterly clownshoes.

Torres looked far better and that's saying something.

Tony Montana

It's just an odd game. He's been class in other big games.

Kurtz

Costa was no where near as bad as Cavani. He looked very fast and showed his aerial ability.

Alfonso

So Cavani and Costa have one bad game respectively and suddenly they are overrated?

People used to do the same with Zlatan and Totti.

Cavani is having a poor season by most accounts. Costa I've seen a handful of times and he's never once looked amazing, nowhere near Dorgba level for example. So when they're valued at £50m then yeah, they're overrated.

I hate Mourinho's shit football.

So we can't discuss Costas poor game now? Give me a fucking break.

I know they are statistically effective but I don't like these workhorse types.

Very few strikers with magic in their boots these days

y va marquer

Aguero's the most capable of magic, such a shame he cannot stay fit.

lorddulaarsenal

Yeah.

Once you've experienced Henry and Bergkamp you're always gonna be underwhelmed
