Douglas Costa (70 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

Unbelievable player when fit. Should have had two assists, was a constant menace against Roma’s defence. A joy to watch.

Keep him as fit as possible for the big games, and rest him against the shite.

What a player. Stay fit and we have a great chance against any top team in Europe.
And His passing is so underated. He makes them so easy on the eyes.

People still find a way to bash this guy are ultimate kneejerking.

Said it a few times already this season...if he stays fit this guy completely changes our attack. He is a much needed boost for providing for the other attackers.

He could have had 2 assists with outside his foot.

 

[Boksic]

Tremendous player when fit. He opens things up brilliantly with his ability to beat a man.

Guy's all if's and but's.

But i'll say this, the day this brilliant winger manages to surpass Tuz' favorite Sami Khedira in goals scored for Juventus, i'll high five him.

@DAiDEViL @lgorTudor

Look at their favorite player, Khedira.
That alone would be enough to not take them serious.
And they hate Costa.
Although Dai is most of the time a reasonable person, unlike the other German.

My favourite player is Dybi. I never wanted Khedira signed and wanted him replaced every summer. But if your boy Costa, the attacking prodigy, can't outscore a geriatric CM maybe you should consider that the germans were right, as always. The love in here for Costa is more irrational than anything I have ever seen. That's like being obsessed with a Lemina or Bobby Pereyra. Have you all gone mental?

He has been unfortunate with injures. But every time he has played he had a solid 7 game.

His job isn't scoring, more like creating space for other teammates and take the pressure off from our defence when getting pressed. Last year he had 10 assists while injured and that's not bad at all.

I would have accepted your pessimism against Costa if injury ruined his quality. But that's not true.

I remember teams didn't want Robben in their lineup because he was too injury peone.
Bayern trusted him even though he was injured most of the time but he finally delivered CL for them.
I have the same feelings about Costa, he can be a real game changer for us in UCL this year.

You only need to have eyeballs connected to a functioning brain to understand what makes Costa a good player.

His speed, technical ability, close control, ability to create space for others, etc... invaluable assets. He is a unique talent, no one else in our squad can do what he does.

wat? Why are you making things up?

Costa had 0 assists last year. 1 goal - 0 assists in 970 minutes in all comps.

Kindly show me the 10 assists? He wasn’t a solid 7 every game, he was awful after the spitting incident last year...

I still like Costa because he was absolutely brilliant in the second half of 17-18, one of our best performers, and electric to watch. I loved our signing him when it happened. And it’s great to see him starting to perform again this year on the rare occasion he’s fit, but there’s no need to make things up or downplay how awful his season was last year.

I meant his first season here, 2 years ago. Where he had 13 assists and was one of our top 3 performer that year.

Strange way to word it, bro. You said he had 10 assists last year while injured.

But I agree with you about him in 17-18. He was a monster. I hope he can get back to that (including being that healthy). We would have played CL final again that year, and quite likely won if not for that stupid injury time penalty in a game in which we were destroying Madrid. Higuain, Costa, Mandzukic, Pjanic were all in fantastic form, and Dybala, while not very consistent later on that year, had some incredible matches.

If Costa can get healthy and in form for the knockouts and Dybala stays in such good form, we shall have a damn good shot at it this year too with those guys supporting the GOAT

Sorry. It was 3 Am in the morning here when i wrote that post, My mind completely mixed last 2 seasons together.

 

[AriG]

He's really good but should sell cos injuries.

 

[Hydde]

I simply cant get excited about costa, because everytime he gets injured.

So no point in wishing him to explode or whatever, when the truth is that his body is flawed. We cant count on him when we need him the most basically.

So much talent...

Its so sad.
