    I don't think Costa is anything close to Aguero.

    Didn't Southampton do well against Sunderland? And to think the YSB's took all their world class players to Anfield. Or maybe Brenda bought the wrong players!

    Costa has started just as well in the Prem as Aguero did. They're different in style somewhat, there are times when his style is more like Drogba's, and Drogba was arguably the best striker around at his peak. Costa's not at Aguero's or Drogba's level atm, but is not far off and I can see him becoming just as prolific and just as much of a match winner.

    Yep, like City did with Everton they bought the wrong centre half, they would have been much better if they bought Schneiderlin instead of Lallana too <ok>

    Costa has a style which is much easier to work out and nullify, i can see him having a much less effective second half to the season.

    Not sure about that Diego, it's just as much about the space, movement and passing style of those around him, particularly Fabregas and Hazard. Like at Athletico Madrid, it will be the players around him that will bring out the best in him, and teams will struggle because they'll be worrying about the players behind him just as much as they will be about him. Drogba fed off that, Aguero feeds off that at City equally.

    17-0 for liverpool or its considered a defeat. Lets not forget how they banged on about how anyone can beat qpr 4-0.

    Money where your mouth is time. 17-0 or bust.

    Much to my disgust, can't see anything but an easy away win for the dippers. QPR are dire

    Liverpool lulling qpr into a false sense of security.

    If we had Aguero he'd never actually be fit

    No no no, you play badly but still squeeze out a win. The mark of champions...

    ...well according to Rodgers' thinking anyway. I think he's missed the point about whether it's a team at the bottom of the prem or not.

    The RS such as astroturd are rejoicing and clamoring how it is great to play s**t and win 3 points. What they do not see is this: the big picture indicates that they are playing worse and worse as the season gets on. Never mind jumping for joy when you get an undeserved 3 points. I've always said the surest sign your team is s**t is when s**t teams look like world beaters against you or when they have their best match of their s**t season.

    The deluded RS are still hoping for a CL place. Tagliatelle I predicted will pull them down and they thought I was wumming <laugh>

    BR and Gerrard both praised QPR and said they didnt get what they deserved


    Can you provide a link that shows BR saying the mark of champions?
