Costa is still managing to do quite well in this system - and technically I think he's worse than Lukaku

Costa is slight better bro

hensben:
Costa is slight better bro

Lukaku has 21 league goals, that's Costa's highest tally for Chelsea in all competitions equalled



Is there anything Costa can do better than Lukaku?

hensben:

Actually, Costa is not.

Check out bad controls per app. Costa is number 3 in the whole freaking league. That's assuming you can't already tell from watching games or reading the comments here.

My team would be

Courtois

..................Cahill... ...Luiz...... .Ake... .......


Azpi.. ..........Kante... ...Matic.... ....Alonso

.....................Fabregas... ...................

...................Hazard.. ..........Pedro..... ........

I said Costa shooting techniques over lukaku is his ability to shot from both feet's in tight angles, which we have all seen this season.

But you posted lukaku's goals from both feet this season forgetting I was emphasizing on shooting " from tight angles from both feet" as the matrix of Costa's shooting techniques.

What if lukaku's goal from his right foot were tap in or pass and shoots inside the box, where his techniques can't really be tested??

The numbers simply do not support your assertion.

Costa has 17 league goals, 11 of which were scored using his stronger right foot. That's 65% of his goals.

Lukaku has 21, only 10 of which came from his stronger left boot. That's less than half of his goals. He's scoring with his head. He's scoring with his right foot. He's scoring freekicks. And he's hitting the target at a higher level of accuracy than Costa is.

How is it that Costa still has better shooting technique?

you're already deviating from what I said..

I said shot techniques you, but what you're saying is clearly conversion rate and shooting accuracy. They are very different.

Lukaku having more goals to Costa is down to Costa Misses, this is where conversion rate and shooting accuracy comes to play not shooting techniques..

Costa has the ability of scoring from good tight angles with various feet's, you can't find this in Lukaku.

I have up to 4 matches in my memory where Costa exhibited good shooting techniques.

I no sure whether you play PES.

Please, I don't want to see a repeat of palace mbok! I will rather have willian start the match while fabregas comes in as a substitute.

@ Bigkesh

Costa...

Nihilist:


Thank you very much.

The key metric here is that the boy is only 23 years old.

He still has at least 4 years to mature before he hits his peak. Messi and Ronaldo have distorted the game with their obscene numbers.

Compare Lukaku to other big name strikers at his age, and you will be so shocked

Awareness and pressing opponent defenders. Just that Costa is a nerd. Honestly speaking, I am not a fan of Costa's style of play but also I don't really trust Lukaku in big club.

Team to play Manchester City: Courtois, Zouma, David Luiz, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Pedro, Costa, Hazard

Subs: Begovic, Ake, Terry, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Willian, Batshuayi

I am still feeling bad about crystal palace game. This is the formation conte was supposed to play that day to give zouma match confidence instead he opted for Pedro to play RWB. Now zouma will be on pressure to deliver dearby.....
