Costa Charged with Violent Conduct

Fair play Blue. Maybe I just cant help comparing him to Drogba. Costa looked isolated and I'm beginning to think in the big games needs to play in a two up front?

 

Mate Hazard was different class to everyone on the pitch. Everytime he got the ball he opened up the defence. Costa just didnt make the right runs or was not strong enough. Matic also offered support going forward. I think starting Drogba up front instead would have been a better choice.

 

Hazard might have been good but did he create much? He created one chance on his own with a great run where he bamboozled 4 defenders before firing wide, but other than that I don't think we defended badly against him. Didn't let him cut in on his right foot too much and he's far less dangerous down the wing on his left.

 

It's not that your defending was good or bad, I wouldnt credit them or criticise them. But you were pinned back for large part of that game. Markovich and Sakho going off didnt help ofcourse. Hazard created plenty, time and time again but needed a runner and a finisher. He wasnt going to get that from Ramires, Willian, Matic....and a very average Costa. If that had been Drogba in his pomp, they would have won comfortably.

 

Flat track bully.

Emphasis on the bully.

 

Yeah true. Drogba in his pomp was a different animal altogether.

 

oh shut up. Oliver opted out of any big decisions all game, stop pretending it has anything to do with him not seeing Costa's stamp.

 

Oooohhhhhhh.

 

shouldn't you get back to watching this in order to have a clue

You got the proof yet?

 

I think they should change the rules around retrospective bans.

I think the club that was offended against should get to chose whether the 3 game punishment is paid right away, or if they want to reduce the ban to 1 game but that 1 game is the game against them.

That way they don't lose out as much

 

It would just create corruption, leave a door open to exploit the rules. Small clubs will be doing big clubs favours and could be rewarded with loan players or the like, as well as nepotism. Bruce would have been choosing 1 game bans for Fergie you betchya had that been the rule when slurgie was around.

 

Interesting idea As it stands only our direct competitors can gain an advantage from this situation,Citeh and 2 others

 

Plus more incentive to do that **** if you could only be banned for one game

 

Like the idea.

But what happens when it's an 8 game ban?

 

Then you harass the player as much as possible and force him to leave the country

 

Or on the anniversary of said misdemeanour, you get a load of BBC journalists to write nostalgic articles on how he was the victim

 

Or for each red card, a point is deduction and given to the opposition. Obviously wouldn't work in knockout competitions though.

 

You're heading for a ****ing smack coming in with crap like like, ****ing ****er.

 

He apologised shortly afterwards
