Maybe this isn't a normal situation!

extra gravy

I don't think I've ever seen a manager say so much while actually saying so little! We're still none the wiser after that gem.

Normally you say?

There are plenty of much clearer cut quotes....

"I think so. QPR, one week more, I hope so,” said Mourinho, when asked about Costa’s availability for the game at the weekend.

Nemanja Matic confirmed Costa pulled out of the squad on the day before the match at Old Trafford. “We found out Saturday,” said the midfielder. “He trained with us but I think he felt some more pain and the club didn’t want to risk him. Of course we need him but the most important thing is to be healthy and to be prepared for the next games."

Both from the Guardian.

Mr.Prodston

Everybody talking about Costa one way or the other and in reality:



For that reason I'm out....sometime, soon, maybe.

I'm so undecided it's beginning to get ridiculous

Costa was out training today

Well he's at least walking, enough to score 6 vs QPR.

in my head the Darth Vader theme tune was playing as he walked out
it's bizarre that captain Costa could be a big differential this week
just seen the captain poll
maybe not a differential after all

he's training.

mourinho confirms Costa is available but will need "special care" from now on
captaining tomorrow then probably selling him
can't be dealing with this **** every weekend!

Mourinho confirms that Loic Remy and John Obi Mikel will both miss the match, but Ramires and Costa are both available for the game.

"It's good for us. It's difficult when you only have one striker available, but when you have two the situation improves."

"He played for the national team and we lost him for four matches: Crystal Palace, Maribor, Shrewsbury and Manchester United, four matches in three different competitions. Now he is again available but he needs to be under special care."

Rikand

"special care" probably means playing all league matches, but not playing cup games and dead rubber champs league games

FutureGuy

Yeah you know what, he's too much hassle.

Special care? What the fcuk does that actually mean. Will he be rested for the easier games? Will he train less? Will he break down after 20 minutes.

It's too much hassle to be honest. If I had him, I'd be worried every single week about him starting.

There are a ton of alternatives out there. Sure he'll score 2 some games but he'll probably get rotated when you want him to start at home to the weaker sides.

There are a ton of cheaper alternatives out there and Sturridge is not far off a return.

Almost certain I'll be getting rid after this week. He was the first so called must have of the season but there are lots of players performing now and most importantly lots of viable captain options.

I can understand where you are coming from, but I think its a 'monitor' situation. The guy scored and average of almost 8 points per game before the injury. I can live with a bit of uncertainty if that's what he does when he does play. Plus for the next while they have no need to play him in the CL or League cup so he'll get plenty of rest, and they will I'm sure try to pull some stroke to get him out of the Internationals.

I can see it being worthwhile to drop him over the Xmas period for the likes of Sturridge who is less likely to be rested after his spell out and Liverpools lack of alternatives.

Chelsea have 3 league games in 7 days soon enough after the int break aswell.

special care is a not too subtle dig at Del Bosque and the Spanish set-up. i'm keeping him for now anyway. qpr and wba both at home in the next 3 gameweeks. after that i may re-consider as the amount of fixtures in quick succession becomes a genuine concern
