Re Costa...........I read a post from a Wolves fan (not Norwich!) when we signed him. He said Costa had been unplayable for 2 seasons in the C/ship, but got injured as soon as the PL campaign started. When he came back, this fan said that he seemed to be suffering from a dreadful loss of confidence which he never seemed to be able to overcome.
Everything I've seen from him at Leeds meshes with that analysis. I think he is a very good player, but he is lacking in self-belief. This is my second post of the morning on the theme of psychology, but yeah I think Costa just needs to have a little purple patch of brilliance and it all (might) come flooding back. So to summarise this and my previous post..........if we could just find ourselves 3-0 up at H/borough on Sat after 20 mins, with Bamford scoring once and Costa twice (including a superb Yeboah v Monaco style curler into the top corner)......then all will be fine!
