He needs to rotate. Otherwise players like Matic and Willian won't know they need to give best performances all the time.

Even Hazard too.

To my Chelsea family,
Really disgusted with Costa today. Just too wasteful and selfish. He needs to start playing for the team and stop being self-centred. He took the penalty against Liverpool because he wanted a goal. He should have left it for Willian, Fabregas or Moses to take in the absence of Hazard. Since he missed that, he's been feeling sorry for himself. Today, he turned what should have been a 4-0 game to end up being 3-1 with his decision not to pass to a free Azpl for a tap in. No way a poor team like Arsenal should have scored after all the hardwork the defenders put up today.

Btw, It's been a while since these crazy clowns come here to spout rubbish about 'Mid-Table teams' and other BS whining about someone else's club. Lily-livered specialists in failure club and their arrogant fans. Shior. :taunt: :taunt: :lol:

Unfortunately he can't. Batsuayi is worse. All that one does is play for the opponent, forever controlling the ball for them and hiding in the midfield. It would be like short one. All we can do is hope Costa forget about China and focus on the job.

The choice of club really matters.


Gary Cahill becomes fastest player in Premier League history to win every major trophy as Chelsea defender earns clean sweep in just over three years

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... rophy.html

- Gary Cahill has won every possible honour for Chelsea since 2012
- Cahill won the FA Cup and Champions League after signing from Bolton
- The 29-year-old defender collected Europa League in 2013
- Defender added the Capital One Cup and Premier League title this year

In just over three years since his £7million move from Bolton, Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has won every possible honour.
The 29-year-old is the first player to earn a clean sweep in such a short space of time having won the FA Cup and Champions League in 2012, the Europa League in 2013, before a League Cup and Premier League double this year.
It's an impressive rate for a player who made such a huge step from fighting a relegation battle with Bolton in 2011 to becoming a key figure in Chelsea's historic Champions League run in 2012 which culminated in Cahill defending for his life with a hamstring injury against Bayern Munich.

And while John Terry has rightfully earned the plaudits for steering his side to a first Premier League title in five years, Cahill has worked tirelessly alongside the Blues captain and been a crucial quarter of Jose Mourinho's defence.
The England vice captain has played under four different managers during his three years in west London and has featured heavily for each of them from Andre Villas-Boas to Mourinho.
Cahill showed his strength of character earlier in the season after being dropped for crucial games following Chelsea's shock 4-2 FA Cup defeat by Bradford City in January.

The centre back has been a stalwart at the heart of Jose Mourinho's defence all season to help win the title

GARY CAHILL'S TROPHY CABINET
2012: FA Cup, Champions League
2013: Europa League
2015: Capital One Cup, Premier League


French youngster Kurt Zouma, who preformed well whenever called upon, was given a run in the side while Cahill was sidelined for domestic games against Manchester City, Everton and Burnley as well as Chelsea's Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool in January.
With question marks beginning to form over his long-term future with the Blues, Mourinho restored Cahill to the starting line-up for the Capital One Cup final against Tottenham in March - he hasn't looked back since.
The former Bolton man barely put a foot wrong after reclaiming his position alongside Terry as Chelsea looked to edge towards the league title - his fifth piece of silverware in three years.


Cahill told the club's official website: ‘I never imagined it but I dreamed about it and hoped it would be possible.
'I don’t think you sit there as a young boy thinking you want a full set of medals, you just want to achieve something.
‘In football you go from hurdle to hurdle, there’s always something to motivate you, always something you want to get. I’ve been here three-and-a-half years and to do it so quickly is amazing.’
In the Premier League era, only former Chelsea duo Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho rival the speed at which Cahill has collected medals in the Premier League era.

OTHER PLAYERS TO HAVE WON EVERY TROPHY AVAILABLE
With Chelsea: Gary Cahill, Didier Drogba, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech, John Obi Mikel, Paulo Ferreira
With Liverpool: Kenny Dalglish, Ray Clemence, Phil Neal, Steve Heighway



Ferreira and Carvalho enjoyed impressive spells of success, winning the Europa League (2003) and Champions League (2004) with Porto before moving to Stamford Bridge and winning the League Cup and Premier League in 2005.
The Portuguese duo, however, didn't pick up their first FA Cup winners medals until 2007 after the 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Wembley.
Before that, Kenny Dalglish collected almost every trophy available with Liverpool between 1977 and 1980, but was made to wait until 1986 to win the FA Cup medal which had been missing from his cabinet.
Legendary goalkeeper Ray Clemence also earned a clean sweep between 1972 and 1981 at Anfield, but was made to wait until 1981 for his first League Cup success with the club.
