Daninya1:
If you check the annals of the EPL, you will hardly ever see a striker that ends a season with 28 goals... Costa can hit 20 this season...
The likes of Henry, Ruud vanisterooy, Shearer did exploit in the EPL.. None of them reached 28 goal in the EPL
That's why it is the hardest league in the world..
Costa is just recovering from an injury he needs time to be fully fit and rediscover his goal scoring form..
It took the legend, Drogba time to click in Chelsea..
Costa has done well.. Kudos to him..
in the 2003/2004 season theirry henry scored 30 EPL goals

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Swansea Vs Arsenal (2 - 1) ON 9th November 2014 by abfan(m): 10:29pm On Nov 09, 2014
Dear Arsene, I find myself writing this letter not out of anger
but out of frustration. As a fan (not customer, fan) of the
Arsenal I find it hard to get angry with the team’s
performances these days because to be frank, nothing
surprises me anymore. I have seen it all before. Arsenal are,
to some extent, masters of snatching defeat from the jaws
of victory. So why am I writing this? As I have touched upon
above, it is a letter borne out of frustration. Frustration that
the club, run by you Mr Wenger is in a never ending cycle of
mediocrity when things can be so much better given the
resources at our disposal. If you love Arsenal as much as
you say you do, please do the best for the club and accept
you have taken it as far as you can, resign and allow another
manager to take the club forward. You can enjoy your legacy
of revolutionising English Football and enjoy the fact you had
a hugely successful first 10 years at Arsenal. No doubt you
will read this and think “what does he know? he hasn’t
worked 2 minutes in football or won the FA cup” and you are
quite right, I haven’t. That doesn’t make my opinion any
less valid, nor does it prevent me from having one. I am a
pragmatist, to me, to flourish is to adapt, to be questioned,
to be challenged and in top level sport, to win. Since you
have managed the club your style and philosophy hasn’t
changed, hasn’t evolved but English Football has. Failure to
adapt is costing us dear. Failure to address obvious
weaknesses within the squad, the failure to bring in
adequate or superior replacements for those players
departing. Failure to address the lack of discipline in the
team, not from a fouling perspective but from a tactical one,
3-2 up at home and we have 5 players in an advanced
position against a team who by your own admission are
excellent on the counter attack. It isn’t just this week’s
capitulation against Anderlecht that prompts this letter it is
a culmination of events throughout your tenure. The team do
not learn lessons; the defence still make elementary
mistakes. Blaming the players is the easy option but was
the back four the same as last night when we conceded 4
against Newcastle at St James Park, 8 against Manchester
United, 6 against Manchester City, 4 against Tottenham at
home in 2008. No they weren’t, was the manager the same.
Yes. That isn’t bad luck; it’s a trend, one you haven’t
addressed over the years. There is no doubt you are
stubborn, can that work to one’s advantage? Absolutely but
it can also be detrimental if left unchecked, unfortunately it
seems the latter is true. So you won’t resign, what is next?
How do we change things? How can we ensure mistakes are
not repeated? May I suggest the following? * If Steve Bould
isn’t coaching the defence, let him, if he is then perhaps it’s
time to delegate that away from him or bring in some ex-
players who know a thing or two about defending, Messer’s
Keown & Adams would be a good starting point. * Address
the team’s obvious defensive weaknesses, accept the
Wenger way may not be what’s best for Arsenal FC, not
Arsene FC and purchase accordingly. There is a good reason
the saying “you get what you pay for” exists and in most
cases, rings true. There are some excellent defenders in the
Premiership who would love to represent such a prestigious
club like the Arsenal. Winston Reid was a good example. *
Bring in a tactician who can be a pragmatist as an assistant
manager, someone who can offer a different opinion,
challenge you and can set up a team according to the
opponent. That’s not to say attacking football to which we
are known for is compromised, it’s a pragmatic approach to
ensure a good solid defensive foundation is built enabling the
attacking players to express themselves. * Bring in an
external party to evaluate the training methods & playing
surfaces in order to better understand why so many of the
players suffer muscular injuries. Shad Forsythe is an
excellent addition; let’s focus on prevention rather than
cure / rehabilitation. * Play players in their natural position,
this sounds simple and it is, a number 10 (Ozil) is played as
a number 10, not as a winger players who aren’t performing
are taken out of the limelight to regain form (Ramsey) and
players who are in form are played regularly not because
they are a favourite of the manager. (Sanogo over Joel
Campbell / Lukas Podolski) Now that may not be the case,
but looking from the outside in, that’s the impression we
get. * Make substitutions based on the needs of the game. If
a player isn’t performing, be a manager, break your loyalty
to that player and take him off at half time rather than the
70th minute. Be pragmatic, again, using Anderlecht as an
example, if we are 3-2 up, don’t bring on attacking players,
get on the touch line, organise 2 banks of 4 and if you
absolutely have to have an attacking player on, use Walcott
to hit them on the break and / or run into the channels to
hold the ball up and keep possession. * Have a plan and
listen to counsel – Identify the teams weaknesses, identify
replacements and start doing the ground work as much as
you can (within the rules of course) before the transfer
window opens. Pay the asking price, using the Arsenal brand
to sell to the player, get the deal done, the player settled
well in time for pre- season as Manchester City & Chelsea
have done in the past to their benefit. As a manager it is
your job to identify the players you and your coaching staff
think we need, not to negotiate fee’s or argue on what you
think a player is worth. That is for the Chief Executive and
Finance Director to worry about. I have decided not to
mention the issues at board level, I wanted this letter to
focus on what can be changed on the field and training
pitches. This is not a personal attack; it is to raise
concerns, to point out flaws, offer constructive solutions. It
may not always seem obvious but the fans criticise because
they care. We like you Arsene, love Arsenal FC. Let’s either
see a change of manager or a change in approach. Being
challenged and admitting mistakes isn’t a weakness it’s a
sign you are prepared to change, prepared to evolve and
hopefully be as successful as you were in the first 10 years
as manager of this great club.
