Re: Diego Costa
If you want to use the system excuse then "the system" is arguably the reason he's going to Chelsea in the first place
It works both ways, you can't blame the system for his failure to perform and then ignore that the system was the reason he got success at Atleti in the first place.

Re: Diego Costa
All that's been proven is that Costa is not a truly talented player.... but one that can do very well in specific circumstances. Nobody is going to dream about becoming the next Costa
It's very dangerous to buy this type of player... because his success may not only depend on a certain style, but also on his synergy with his teammates, the league, the style of the opponent, etc.
He's not going to bully players who are just as tough as he is... this WC proved it.

Re: Diego Costa
people are ignoring how similair atleti and chelsea play
both are heavy defensive teams that rely on counters... costa is effective in counters, less effective when the ball is played to his feet.

No one is ignoring it tbf, in fact i'm sure most expect him to have more success for Chelsea than ever will for Spain.
With that said there's one common difference between Atleti and Chelsea....
Chelsea use the striker as a springboard to put the midfielders in position to score, Atleti use the striker as the bloke at the end of attacks.
Its a lot easier to score for Simeone than it is for Mourinho if you're a striker, i'm personally expecting Fabregas to score more than Costa but Costa to have more assists than he did at Atleti.

Atleti play more offensive football than Chelsea imo.At least Atleti had their FBs constantly attacking, at Chelsea they have Ivanovic and Azpilicueta at LB

Exactly Adit
I got lambasted for saying you can't judge Chelsea's defenders individually because all 4 of them are protected by 2 DMs all the time.
It's so much easier to stand out as a defender in Chelsea's system, as opposed to let's say Liverpool's.
Azplicueta has been exposed for the fraud that he is. The same way Terry was exposed when AVB tried to play a modern forward-thinking formation.
Titus Bramble would look like prime Nesta playing deep into the box, protected by 4 bulldog midfielders.

What are you on about?
Chelsea used their striker as a decoy last season because their biggest threats came from the players out wide. They had two players that were clearly past their best. That'll change now with their recent purchases.
They've brought in Cesc and Costa now, both massive goalthreats and something they missed last season. (They only really had Hazard as a goalthreat.)
Every player will have a responsibility to go forward and score, Diego Costa no different. If anything, he's probably the main man in blue next season. (It's either him or Eden)
This world cup is irrelevant to what Costa will do for Chelsea; again, Spain and Chelsea set up in different ways. And everything about Chelsea suits him more than it does for the Spanish NT.

Re: Diego Costa
Mourinho has always used the striker has a decoy.
Did you not watch Drogba under Mourinho was used as a springboard for the likes of Duff, Cole, Robben and Lampard to get into goalscoring positions
Drogba didn't start scoring goals with regularity till Mourinho left.... the only striker who really scored with regularity under Mourinho and wasn't used as a springboard was Diego Milito.
Even Benzema was a decoy for Ronaldo and those around him.... its how he uses his forwards and the same will happen again its not anything new.

Lol spring board as if we should have run our attack primarily through Torres and Eto'o. And I also like how most people in this thread seem to think we'll be playing the exact same way next season. Ignorance is bliss.

Re: Diego Costa
Mole never suggested that you should have. He was addressing Mou's career in how he uses strikers is probably indicative of how Costa will be used next year, not strictly speaking about Chelsea last season. If costa comes in and scores like 14 league goals, but Hazard Fabergas and others benefit from his presence and you win more games then who really cares.Blue Barrett wrote:Lol spring board as if we should have run our attack primarily through Torres and Eto'o.

Re: Diego Costa
Yes, I get that, but what he fails to realize is that Drogba took a while to settle down at Chelsea too. And while he was "settling down", the Duffs and Robbens and Lampasas and Joe Coles were firing goals for us. Why not use the team to its strength? Same way it would be completely daft to focus a your attack on Benzema on a team that has Ronaldo on it. It's not rocket science. What massive wing threats did that Inter team have? Again, it's not rocket science to focus it on Milito.
Hazard CAN score goals but he has always been a pass first guy even to a fault sometimes. At least in Costa we'll have someone that's looking to score goals and is actually capable of finishing. Add Cesc and the occasional Schurrle and suddenly the burden of scoring AND creating is lifted off Hazard to a huge degree. This will enable him to score when he sees fit rather than the whole team depending on him to score every game because we have shit strikers. I believe this will also go a long way in his development as a player too. He'll learn a lot of things and most importantly, how to play without the ball.
All of this will also enable us to play the way Jose actually intended all along and which we saw in quite a number of the earlier matches last season but couldn't keep up with because we didn't have the right personnel. He completely reverted back to full time defense-first football starting from that Arsenal game in late December and bought Matic in January to add steel to the midfield and also save as further building for what our summer signings will enable us do.
I encourage you to keep an eye on Chelsea next season. We won't be the same.

I don't want to start boasting about how many he will score yet. Let's wait till he gets a few, shall we?
Great signing regardless, hopefully our CF issues are fixed now.
