We've given a lot of credit to the coaching staff, rightly so, for their turning some water into wine. What's happened with Costa - or could it be down to his character - something MB values massively in terms of the fighters - maybe explains why he got little game time when others were not injured, and now gets more when there aren't alternatives.
Honestly, i'd put Jack Clarke well above him in a direct comparison of the effect he has had in games versus time on the pitch.
