Bit strange this one. If he's rested, why wouldn't you at least have him on the bench for the last 10 minutes or something? Doesn't make much sense.

Not that I'm complaining too much as I'm not a fan. Glad to see him out of the team but he still has more to offer than Wilson off the bench.

He was dropped. LVG made that clear enough in his pre match interview.

Hasn't been for us and doesn't look like it's changing any time soon. Not impressing Van Gaal either.

It was a poor signing that made very little sense at the time. But yeah, he's amazing and will bang in 30 goals a season:wenger:
 
He should've been on the bench at the very least. First time I've said this but van Gaal got it wrong there.

How did RVP get on today, or Rooney when he went up top?

Truth of the matter is the forwards are just not being supplied the service they should. Once that improves then their goal tally will improve also.

But what good with having Falcao on do? We need to drop two, and put Herrera and Di Maria in midfield so we can actually start creating chances.

Think that was essentially my point, that we need to find an effective way of getting our strikers some service, be it one up top or two.

At the moment, we're just not creating enough.

How's that?

Because instead of falcao's 3 goals, we'd have welbecks, 6 or 7 goals from triple the number of minutes?

So you agree Falcao has hardly been much of an improvement so far?

I hope he turns it around, but so far he hasnt worked out.
 
He was missed today, yes he ain't been a goal machine which is what our fans expect but his movement creates so much openings and keeps the defenders on there toes.

Without him we created zilch today and those that don't rate him hopefully will respect that he has more to his game then just scoring goals!!!
 
He is a proper goal scorer there's no doubt about that but he doesn't just offer goals alone his build up play is really underrated and the runs he makes into the box are fantastic, he's just not getting the service that's required. I always like to see two strikers on the bench so to have three defenders on the bench instead was odd.
 
He was our best player vs Stoke, and although he didn't produce the goods against Yeovil, he should've at least made the bench today.

It looks more and more like LVG is losing faith in him and doesn't seem to rate him.
 
This isn't based on today, but we won't be signing him. Too much money and he's just not worth it. A few years ago yes, but not now. And whilst it's a bit strange that he wasn't even on the bench, he hasn't done enough to justify starting every game (although tbf the same could be said for pretty much all of our attackers).
 
Rumours floating around that he stormed out of the stadium, was furious and told his agent to find him a new club.

Given our luck he will be a monster for another club if we dont buy him.

if we can get back in the champions league there will surely be better big money striker options available.

Unless he has a stonking last half of the season it would be beyond madness to sign him for huge fee and wages.
We've had that rarest of luxury, a try before you buy, and it's nowhere near happened so far.

:lol:

Seriously though, I hope he does well at his next club. Because there is no way we're paying 50m or whatever it was for him based on what we've witnessed so far. Of course he's a mammoth name and he has an envious scoring record, but he just hasn't proved that he's worth the doe.
 
Might be a personal issue. He come across as a good professional. Whether he's good enough or not is up for debate. I not seen enough of him to make that assessment

Sounds like BS (well the agent part). 4 days ago he said he was all happy and loved it and was ready for the fight for places.

Going by 'rumours' his Missus was having a baby - but I'd say that's probably BS too.
