Diego Costa: Chelsea striker charged with violent conduct by FA
Chelsea forward Diego Costa has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association following the Capital One Cup semi-final against Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Spain striker is accused of stamping on Liverpool defender Emre Can in the 12th minute of the 1-0 victory.

He faces a three-match ban and could miss Saturday's league match with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The player has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge.

 

Pity the ref didn't catch it, it happened so early they should have played the game without him. There's hard and then there's snide.

 

...and there's dereliction of duty which Oliver is massively guilty of

 

don't worry lads you are all forgetting that oliver did see the stamp or at least the aftermath and knew full well something occur. He therefore waves away an absolute stonewall obvious pen for cheslea.

yeah costa might have been off... but then he would've got a pen so it even up! sure our advantage should've come first and all that thus the second would never have occurred but ffs... we should've taken our chances so.

man up and stop whining

 

This.

 

yeah i'm a hard ass!!!

 

Let us whine if we want to

 

whine and cheese.... the LFC website is literally full of both

far to french for my liking

 

Racist .....

 

So it's now #official that we were robbed

 

We wuz robbed. Always the victims. Ha.

 

No need for that kind of ****e.

 

What kind of s**t? All you whine about is how the decisions went against you.

 

That's not what you said though was it?

You were calling others keyboard warriors on the other thread, now here you are giving it the Billy Big Bollocks.

 

I didn't mean anythin

Ah I see what you're getting at. That's not what I meant though. If anyone is offended then I apologise.

 

Fair play Blueman

 

No worries mate. I'm not that horrible.

 

You know the thing that seems to have been lost in all this stamping bollix is just how terrible Costa was in both games. He did nothing of any note in either game and the stamping itself was an indicator of how frustrated he was. Even when chances fell to him he bottled them.

 

True. They weren't his best games.

 

Could say we defended well against him...

We got close, didn't give him space and Sakho/Skrtel competed with him well in the air.

Costa isn't a huge creator of chances for himself either and we restricted the chances created for him by players like Hazard/Fabregas/Willian etc.
