So, ummm, I guess Mata, RvP, Rooney and Falcao can play together. Nice movement and awareness between all of them. And Rooney scoring two from MF-one in front of goal. Great fluidity.

And people think he may not be here next season?
So much better today. Played a key role in both goals.
His touch for Rooneys goal was utterly brilliant. Made it look so easy, when it really wasn't.

This guy is going to be here for the next few seasons. Getting towards full fitness and is looking great.
Let's hope he can get a goal.

Impressive work rate and attitude. But he needs goals. Lots and lots of goals
Involved in both goals and having a good all round game, hope he gets a goal in the second half.
Terrific so far. Almost unplayable. Tearing apart that newcastle back four almost singlehandedly. Love the synchronized runs him and RVP are making. Its causing all sorts of problems and opening up gaps for the likes of Rooney/Mata to run right through.
Deserves a goal today and no doubt he will get one if we continue this way in the second half.

Shit seems to happen going forward whenever he's on the pitch for whatever reason.
loving him in a united shirt, really starting to look the business
Hoping he grabs a goal or two. Class assist for Rooneys first. He's been a bit unlucky with some efforts this season so hopefully he can get on a run.
That assist to Rooney was absolutely fantastic.
Falcao really gives everything for the shirt. He's literally been throwing himself about out there. Impressive number of assists he has now, given how little he's played. A reflection of how hard he tries to get involved I think. Hope he gets a goal.
You will be visited by three ghosts after the game.
Lol pmsl
Looks far far more relaxed now. Good signs
Great assist. The awareness and then the skill to pick him out was unreal.
Think he's a much better allround player than he gets credit for. Also he works his bollocks off.

His run (and of course the great ball) makes the first goal. Lost the defender with ease
Biggest thing that will determine whether we sign him is his fitness. Clearly class on the pitch and getting better every game, just a matter of if he can recover fully from the injury or if he stays injury prone.
Looking sharp today, hope he gets the goal his performance so far has deserved.
Works his balls off unselfishly for a guy playing for a move.
Should of kept him on
His assist was ridiculously good. Made it look easy.
It was a good hour for him. If he gets another hour at Spurs and Stoke it'd be better than missing Spurs to get 90 at Stoke. The game was won.
Very good performance I thought. Shame he was subbed but this will keep him fresh for Spurs.
Bit of a scrooge! He hasn't been getting on the end of too much but RVP and him have made the runs you expect from a world class striker duo to do. At a level that RVP/Rooney never nearly reached, which isn't weird as Rooney doesn't excel at runs that tears the opponents apart.
Which is why it has looked so well suited today. Falcao and RVP's runs created space for Mata and Rooney still had space centrally in a way he doesn't often have.
It is one game, against Newcastle, which means nothing really but still a very good game from the front four with all of them getting an assist/goal and playing great in the same game.
Wouldn't mean too much if that had been customary but we've had to accept one or at a few rare times two of them playing at their best in one match at most.
The positive thing today was that we didn't rely on any randomness in the goals either it was just great goals. No deflection, corners, free kicks or blind crosses.
Made sense to take him off, hopefully points to him started on Sunday.
Not scoring that many goals isn't a problem for him.
He's making thousand other things right and showing his indisputable quality.

He is very strong. At one point he was surrounded by 3 Newcastle players but still held on to the ball.
He's pretty fecking strong ain't he.
Hope he starts on Sunday, had a brilliant understanding with Rooney and RVP.

Reminds me of Tevez's role in 2007/2008, bullying the defence, scoring, assisting, absolute team player. What a monster!
Even if he didn't score, I loved his performance. Worked so hard and combined so well with the others.
Very good today. Only thing missing was a goal. Mind you he had some good chances from young's crosses.
It is when you are playing for a 40 million plus transfer
I think he genuinley wants to be at the club and looks like he is trying to prove himself to utd. But goals will be required
Very good overall and played a key part in both of our goals. I'm guessing he was substituted to get an early rest for Spurs.
Good game from him and this time when he came off he looked contented, like he knew the plan was get a 3rd and then come off so he'd be ready as we play again in under 2 days. He showed tenacity and strength and his movement opens up space for others, now we just need him to get motoring on the goal trail!
Good stuff from him today! I hope to God he starts against spuds and not wilson!
They will come, he's doing everything right so far.
