I didn’t like Diego Costa’s reaction

Avram Grant says he definitely would have given Diego Costa a dressing down following his antics on the weekend.

Costa’s frustration boiled over as he threw his substitutes bib towards Mourinho at the final whistle and reports are rife that he could be on the move when the transfer window opens.

Misfiring Chelsea striker Diego Costa is said to be in good spirits since returning to training this week, despite the mischievous Blue being left on the bench against Tottenham Hotspur last week, according to the Telegraph.

The season has not gone to plan for Costa and Chelsea so far this season, and it looks as if the forward may find himself departing the club just halfway into his second season in west London.

Chelsea fans, would you be happy to see Costa leave? I didn’t like when they [the media] made him the genius, and I don’t like what they are doing to Jose now, saying “He is useless” or something.

“It is not like this, it is too extreme”. He needs to show he can handle pressure but don’t judge him only by the quality of his interviews when he is under pressure. “He is a good coach, a nice guy, and he can get out of it, for sure”.

The stats above are for Premier League matches alone and suggest Hazard’s reduced threat in front of goal isn’t from a lack of adventure.

talkSPORT have linked Chelsea with Muller, a player who was reportedly targeted by Manchester United in the summer, yet had to settle for the addition of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
