    Be just like Man Utd to potentially play Chelsea with Costa out and end up with him in and our Falcao out.

    I hope not. Mata would not be effective that deep, Januzaj was really wasteful & Angel di Maria is more effective as a CM, last game he was just crossing all the time.

    To be fair though, nearly all of those crosses form open play were superb. RVP's non-existent movement didn't really help. I felt that Falcao would have been all over those crosses.

    We certainly shouldn't just be hammering the ball into the box if we're playing with RVP. It's just not his game.
     
    Hopefully we decide against flying crosses in at every opportunity, it's pointless towards a striker who doesn't move.
     
    Really could have done with Falcao's physical strength today, RVP's sluggish and static play as of late isn't exactly going to have Chelsea worried.
     
    Think we have a great chance here with no Costa. Hazard is my biggest worry.

    "Mourinho had not long retired from playing, and managed to talk himself into a job at Barcelona. He was Mr. Van Gaal's personal translator. It went to his head, he'd go around thinking he was assistant manager, taking notes and pointing things out to the boss" recounts Rivaldo.

    "He didn't have any real authority, but he'd follow the boss around like a leech, a protege. Whenever the boss punished you, Jose would just stand and nod his head disapprovingly at you. Nobody at the club liked him, he didn't have any authority - he was just there to translate the 4-5 different languages to Van Gaal, but every day at training he'd act like he was the man. Barjuan Sergi once struck a football 40 yards into the back of his head and he cried, everyone laughed"



    *Rivaldo quotes may be a complete lie made up by me.

    Fabregas.

    Reason I don't say Fabregas is because I think he'll be the one LvG specifically targets with markers. Much like Palace did against him last week, I think we'll have someone right on him at all times.

    Problem with that is it allows Oscar and Hazard to have more space.

    By the posts here you would say that Falcao has been performing like Messi every time he played this season...
     
    We have to win, the wife has promised that I can do whatever I want to her in the bedroom tonight if we win. She's confident we are going to lose.

    Good point.
     
    He looked great when he came on against West Brom, real shame.

    Lets hope next weekend we can have everyone fit and available, wouldn't that be a miracle.

    I really do have this horrible feeling that his knee is still an issue and the club don't want it talked about.

    I agree, the photo of him covering his knee with a jacket was worrying, that and the fact he has barely featured.
