Looked poor yet again. Not sure what some of you are seeing but it looks like standards have been lowered.

I love watching him, his runs are fantastic. He's always looking to get in behind defenders and asking for the pass. I felt bad for him that we couldn't properly supply him. You could see at one point he wanted the pass from Valencia and was visibly annoyed when the opportunity was lost. When he starts playing more he'll start scoring.
Could turn that round and say the same to you.
It was a 20 minute cameo, there's not much to pick out from his performance today. Put in a decent cross, made good movement, hassled off the ball a couple of times, a poor touch from a throw in. There's little else to talk about here.
Desperately needs 60+ minutes of any sort of match.
Get him starting the Villa game next week and see how he does. No more subbing him on at the end please or preferring Wilson over him.
He's match fit, he's ready. Let's see if he can get back to his best.

That's what David Moyes does to you.
Thought he looked sharp today. Needs to start a game or two.
I don't know what people are thinking, he was poor when he came on and didn't look any more match fit than the last time he played.I don't mind him starting vs Villa though but people who think he's gonna score shedload if he starts are going to be disappointed.
Didn't impress me all that much when he came on, although he arguably needs a full 90 mins and a first team run of games.
Watching the guys movement off the ball is a real learning curb for young strikers. A few starts and he could take off.
this. pity his teammates just can't give him the right ball. a couple of times he manages to make fantastic movements and had the right ball been given we would have been through on goal at least twice during the 10 minutes period he was on the pitch.
should start the next game.
Reminds me of Tevez at his worst right now. Ball seems to bounce off him, crumbles under pressure, looks immobile.
I was mega excited when we signed him but he looks like he's not the same player anymore.

I tend to agree with this. Thought he just looks really slow and sluggish.
I really want him to come good but he is going to need to start games, these cameo appearances are not helping his sharpness in the slightest.
Thought his movement was brilliant. A few times our midfielders delayed a pass that should've gone sooner.
Clearly lacking sharpness though and over-eager to impress.
Deserves a start.

Impossible to judge him without him getting a run in the team.
Which he might never get at this rate.

£75 million Suarez hasn't scored a goal yet in La Liga int twice the amount of minutes, yet I don't see anyone writing him off?
Give him a consistent run and allow him to gel with his teammates and he'll get more than his fair share of goals.
Still think he's best as a lone striker though, which is why I'm not too sure how he fits into the LVG system.

Falcao's on a loan deal though, so if he doesn't improve then there's a decent chance he may not be here next season.
I agree that he needs a run of games but I can't see how he's going to get it now that Van Persie is back in form.
Everybody is seeing what they want to it seems, he wasnt really special, loses too many battles, good movement tho but not special.
Suarez is doing practically everything else but hit the net, his overall play has been very good and he suits the Barca system so far.
That's why he's got the second half of the season to stay fit and show us that he deserves to be signed on a permanent deal. It is annoying that he is being given scraps of 10 minutes at the end of the game when we have wrapped it up, and he is expected to make a massive impact. I fully expect him to start next game over Wilson and finally get a proper run.
Frustrating touches sometimes but you can see his quality. Also frustrating that he doesn't get game time but it is a risk with his fitness and the general play of the team and one that VG doesn't want to take.
I look forward to the Xmas games where he will surely get a decent amount of game time. Maybe that is the focus. Hopefully he comes good then and provides a second half boost to the season.
Our attack could be pretty brutal.

Really? I'd say he is looking quite out of place on the right hand side, and an absolute shade of himself atg Liverpool. Yes, he has got 5 assists, some of which have been pretty sweet, but he was bought for his goals more than anything else.
But that's guaranteeing he doesn't get injured, or does actually make it into the team considering we have a very competitive frontline.
Looked sharp to me. We are not firing on all cylinders. There's no great width game after game and our passing is awful. We're missing a scholes type that can ping balls into space - balls that favor United players. I think Wilson would be better away from home where teams allow more space but since he needs a game, hopefully Falcao starts against Villa. Not sure what he's going to do if we make a meal out of creating chances. Maybe it's the back lines nerves playing 3 at the back but we need to become more fluid and then Falcao and the like will get the chances. Falcao is all about what he does in and around the box. It's up to the rest of the team to control the play and create chances for Falcao.
I know what you are saying but he isn't going to be the focal point in attack like he was at Liverpool, he is there to give another option and create. He is getting the assists and making the right runs etc. just not finishing his chances at the moment, that should come in time though.
And hopefully this shall be the case with Falcao too, who is doing the same but rather coming back from injury and getting less game time.
Case of the Forlans, start the lad when games arent put to bed, Once di Maria is back providing pace we should see him back starting
I thought he did fine when he came on, hopefully he starts against Aston Villa, he looks eager and LvG said he was ready to start before the game.
He certainly didn't look poor today - just needs more match fitness. He'll get there soon enough.
What would've rounded today off a treat if he had scored but that's me being greedy.
Looked alright, should start a couple of games over the christmas/new year period!
I love his movement. Always looking to dart between defenders, or to make runs beyond defenders. He could have been released a couple of times today if our players had reacted quickly enough.
He had a couple of poor touches today, but that's understandable. Rooney often comes back from injury with a touch that would make a pub player blush.

Everyone wants it to happen for him, you can just tell. van Persie paid tribute to his efforts and desire in the pre-match stuff and they were looking for him when he came on.
Along with the defensive injuries, Falcao's inability to stay fit and make a huge impact is the only real disappointment this season.

That is obviously not true.
Its amazing that as soon as he came on he linked up well with RVP and not for the first time. I am sure if they are given a chance to start a match together they will destroy any defence.
He did OK but its a shame he's not getting time when the game's are in the balance. Coming on when the games are done and dusted it will be hard for him.
Seemed too cautious at times, understandable due to the knee injury that kept him out for so much time. However there were some positive signs, namely his movement off the ball, the through ball to van Persie, and his link-up play in general. However I do believe he needs to start games in order to get more chances in front of goal, the FA cup draw against Accrington/Yeovil is a good opportunity to show what he can do. Confidence must be boosted and then LVG will make his assessment on Falcao. At least it's a loan deal and if he' lost it then we can find another striker... Benzema 
Fingers crossed
Fingers crossed
Must be in line for a start next match? Not having a go at Wilson, but he didn't do anything to keep his place today.
