I really miss Diego. Can't lie.

Pretty sure everybody does. His solo goal against Madrid tonight was stunning, pure brute power.

You should be put on the ban list.

Nice one mods!

Thank fukc he's been banned again. I too thank the mods.

Why would the chap get banned for voicing his opinion on a public form!? That's some draconian level of censorship, I can understand the other guy that was calling the lady that handles our transfers a c**t (lol) etc, but that's a bit far, even if he was trolling I'm sure we are all adults here and it will take more than that to upset us [emoji31]
Are the people that run/mod this site the Chinese government??

We heard his opinion, multiple times. It was the only opinion he gave, and after giving it around 30 times, the powers that be have decided that we get it now shut up.

And if he was just some twat who had already been banned once, then that's another reason.

He has already been banned for other reasons two months ago, if he had tried to hide himself properly when he returned he would of been ok, but like the troll he is, he could not help himself, so he hinted at who he used to be, with his new shiny username, then carried on posting in the same trolling style which totally gave the game away.

I agree with your sentiment but if he's trolling then off he goes.

Diego was a damn good player for us but his attitude was at times nuclear. Id have him back though. 

 

 

I hope Morata scores 10 goals this year though and kicks off for next season with a bang having learned the new system. 

I think we would all love Costa back, hes the best #9 on the planet but the lovable scamp never settled in London.

I do have faith in Morata, I think last season the 2nd half of the year the time was awful and Moratas collapse in confidence didnt help himself either.

I dont think hes going to get 30 goals for us but if he can push 20 PL goals this year in the new system, I'd be happy for him, we do need a Cf that can take chances without thinking and at Real and Juventus he done that from the bench, we need the clinical one touch finish Morata back, he seems to s**t the course when given time to think or go one on one but I do think he'll score plenty this year.

If not, we can ship him out in the summer and replace him.

As positive as I am about Morata, man i freaking wish we still had Diego

More than one game of the season would be a good start..

It's not just one game though he has had a full season plus pre season and he still looks just as bad. It reminds me so much of Torres and how every time he got the odd goal he was back and we would have a scoring machine on our hands. Genuinely hoped to be proved wrong but I think after 4/5 more weeks of his inability to put in maximum effort we will see Giroud reinstalled as our number 1 striker.

One game this season, an entire pre season and about 6 months of last season and counting. 

Lets give him 10 games this season and see how he fairs. Last year lets not forget he started so brightly, after his injury and the new year he didnt really start many matches with Giroud favoured upfront, so we have to take that into consideration too. Id like to hope by scoring a few his confidence will come back, but theres no point hating on the guy when we dont really have any other options bar Giroud until January

My apologies, wasn't aware of all this lol

The boy did well today, took his goal superbly

he still needs to hold up the ball better other than that did much better today

For me he is currently trying to take one touch too many sometimes when a defender is already close he just needs to pop it off to someone else but he decides to take the touch and allows the defender the opportunity to nick the ball its fine if you have the strength or balance to roll them but currently he either doesn't have the confidence or inclination to try.

That said I thought he played well and took his goal well, one step in the right direction.

He looks the odd one out in this system so far, but he played ok overall I thought. Hopefully the goal gives him confidence because he really needs it.

Don’t think he played well overall but he took his goal really well and that’s what we need from him more than anything. 

Hopefully it'll give him some confidence going forward and his all round game will improve too. 

Game of two halves for me. Great in the first half, fought well and it was a good finish for his goal. 

Second half when things weren’t going so well he looked like his former self.

Spot on. Shame, but spot on. Giroud looked good though without scoring.

one goal like that every/other game and nothing more, problem solved.

He has looked like he's re-found his determination for a while, hopefully this gives him the confidence to match.

Sarri using positive psychology perfectly.

That will always be the problem with Giroud, doesn't score enough. If Morata missed both those chances he would have taken some stick.
