Almost scored with his first touch for us against Chelsea......and easily scored and ruled offside against Redbull.....you don't get those unless your movement is excellent. Miles better than what we have with our other strikers.

Is it two or three more goals to surpass Sanchez' tally ?
Pretty sure (hopeful) Rashford will be back in time the game on the 21st.
2 more to surpass Bebe, 4 more to surpass Falcao, 5 to surpass Sanchez
It's nice to see he hasn't forgotten how to score a goal once he put on the 7 shirt.
I think Ole's used him well so far. built him up slowly so he doesn't get a load of attention, then will be ready to start a few once everybody has got used to him.
Even if he stays as an impact player from the bench it'll be good business IMO.

This is a good way to judge them in fairness. Will he surpass Bellion is the question on everyone's lips.
If we are able to put in dangerous areas he is going to score. He is going to be a handful for any defender.
Is Cavani going away on internationals? I couldn't find any info on this. Personally I'm not sure which is better for his fitness, going away or staying back at Carrington.
I've never been a massive fan because I only ever saw him in the big games where he'd either miss easy chances and bottle it or be anonymous.
The way he's started though, it backs up his numbers in Serie A and Ligue 1. When he was in the clear against Everton I just didn't doubt he'd miss which makes a nice change for an aging, injury prone forward at our club.
Long may the goalscoring continue, even if it's against the smaller teams because we do well against big teams anyway.

No disrespect to Cavani and its great to see him off the mark with us but I expect a Division 2 player to score that goal let alone a experienced and arguably a world class striker.
It was a gift, but he did take it very nicely. A lot of players would have tried to put it in the other side of the goal, an easier finish but also easier for the keeper to save
Falcao would’ve missed it.
The offside goal he scored was also taken really well. There is night and day between him and div 2 players
*fell on his arse
I like the look of him so far, he is quick, sharp, tall, strong & technically very good
True. I cant remember a single goal Falcao scored for us.
He did score a goal for us, right ?
He scored a peach of a header away to WBA I think it was? always remember thinking that could be the turning point for him.
But yeah his legs just weren't ready at that point.
against Everton to put us 2-1 up early in his career for us. I thought it was the beginning of something great
He scored 4 goals for us total.
I still don't remember.
Its on the borderline of RAWK overanalysis but many strikers would have moved more central during that breakaway. Him pulling further left to give himself more space, as well as giving the centre half a bigger problem... is evidence of why people rave about his movement.
He doesn’t move to the place that gives him a tap in, but insists on a better pass. He gave the defender an impossible task
I honestly shouted at the tv because he was running too far away. I then kind of begrudgingly realised he did that to lower the chance of failure.
He’s old enough that it’s instinctual at this point, but it’s still a perfect template for young strikers to follow.
Counter point : Had his input been during a title winning season we would still be raving about him. We still talk about Larsson like he did something special.
Falcao had a better goal scoring rate than the Swede.
He needed another year of rehab. He was worth the gamble.
he absolutely was worth the gamble. Definitely needed more rehab, I remember spending the season thinking the knee operation had hurt his balance. Forever falling over
I will always remind people that Falcao injured himself in January 2014, it was a miracle that he was even able to play in 2014. The caf is incredibly harsh with him.
Just scored in Colombia, clever finish into the far corner.
Lovely finish, good to see him building up fitness. Think he should start against West Brom, would be helpful against a packed defense.
The opposite situation to the Everton goal, a regular striker would have gone near post worried about the defender blocking. Keeper clearly expected that
Did he start the game? Would be good if can get a good hour or so.
Given he scored in the 5th minute I think we can assume he started the game.
yes, he started, 35 minutes so far... it is supposed to be hot and humid weather, so I guess he won't play 90 minutes... but who knows, our coach is not known for making many canges.
2 confident finishes in a row. Love it

That's how I was described in the past.
Actually that's a lie. No one ever said that about me
I always thought that he had retired from the national team... guess not. Nice finish!
Looks to be getting up to speed eh? Think he's going to be pretty important for us, lets hope he returns plague free and can keep it up.
Sanchez would’ve missed it
