Now get him playing up there on his own. He needs his personal space.
You cant be serious, I doubt somebody with a brain would say that.
yeah @iBoss go ahead and find a post when Sam last mentioned Welbeck. 
Why do you keep asking that? Why does that even matter? I get it, you like Welbeck. That doesn't mean you have to downplay our other forwards though. Which is exactly what you are doing with Falcao. If that's a poor game from Falcao when he's done most things right, I don't know what to say.
He looks almost impossible to dispossess at times. He's not a dribbler, but he's got better link-up and control than our other strikers. And that while being out of form. What has he got now, 2 goals and 2 assists out of 4 starts? Thats pretty good for an off-form striker.

I already have. Apart from a little wum post, the last time I properly mentioned him was November the 7th. Over a month ago.
But no, my blinding love for Danny is making me hate Falcao. Or something.
Oh so when I criticising RVP for playing poorly (along with the whole forum) was that down to my love of Welbeck too?
You havent answered my question. What did you expect from Falcao today? If not a goal and a movement and build up play which you laugh about.
He said he expected him to beat players on his own and score goals on his own.
RVP was actually playing poorly though. Falcao was far from poor today. Which is my point.
If that's true then he hasnt seen much of Falcao until he came to us.
Sure he used to know how to score on his own but he's a proper CF first, a fox in the box, a player who will turn chances and half chances into goals. The best part is that his beloved Costa is a similar player.
I expect his whole game to be better. Faster, sharper, more skill on the ball. He also needs to fall over a lot less.
No I didn't.
Plenty of people agree with me that he was poor today.
I don't even like Costa ffs
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Falcao fans on here just resort to anything to prove a point. Its werid. Cult-like.
I actually like him very much, I really hope he makes it here (in a way some here have a soft spot for Mata). I think he did well today, his link up play seems to be quite good. I can see him working well with Di Maria as he attacks the ball like no other of our strikers does.
Costas all round play is better, whereas Falcao used to be deadlier. Difference is Costas play can look uglier at times.
At their peaks i'd say Falcao was the better technician and goalscorer from insane angles whilst Costa offers more to everyone and being in the right place at the right time. Right now though I think Costa would fit your team like a glove.
Well give him some time ffs. Its his first start since Leicester I think.
Similarly, I feel confident that with Falcao in Costa's place he would be getting goals right now.
You did. If you wont I'll find and quote your post.
How come, Costa needs service too.
Go on then.
I dont think Falcao was great today, not by the standards he is classed as here anyway, remember I watched him intensely for Atletico when he either tore us apart or tore up La Liga. Its like Mata and Hazard have been at times lately, a goal masking a rather average game.
I don't think Falcao was tackled once today, took the ball into feet calmly, found a pass and made effective runs towards the opposition goal. He had two chances today, one half chance, and the other was his goal. Falcao has good all round play and we've already seen that this season.
Never claimed he was great today, just that he wasn't poor like Sam is claiming.
You have service, I dont think he is as strong as he used to be or as pacey. Watch the youtube compilations of some of his goals for Madrid and Porto, a lot of them had barely any great service.
You must love Welbeck, Rob. Thats the only explanation for not thinking Falcao was amazing today.
Its good, but I dont think its Costas level, he is similar to Drogba in that battering ram approach to the role, except he seems even deadlier than the Ivorian.
Today he got service and he scored hasn't he.
Sarcasm doesn't come across very well on the internet does it?
He did, was a good header. Wasn't a great overall performance though, Costas had some of these. Looks like hes not in the game but still bags a goal or sometimes two so it all depends on whether he does this consistently enough.
Not when you're not very good at it.
If you thought that was a serious reply, then you're a bit thick tbh.
Well he had a 1st start since Leicester, played a few 20 minute games so lets give him time. He should start next few games and I'm sure he'll be better. As it was said here nobody said he was amazing but he hasnt been so poor as some want to prove here.
He's a striker, he got us a goal, that's what strikers do and if they do it while not having a great game that's good also.
Yes he has, quite a few of late, whilst coming back from a hamstring injury... hmmm who else is coming back from injury...
About as mature as you calling me clueless, I'd suggest.
Since Everton*
You're right, and he scored that game too.
Since Everton*
Everton sorry yes. And as Cassidy said he scored than too.
