This is why I love football. The unpredictability.

Falcao earns 3 times what Eriksen and Kane do combined and yet he's got 4 goals to their 33.
 
Thought he did well holding the ball up for majority of the game but he seriously should be burying that chance in a game deciding situation.
 
The injury killed him. There was always a chance it would. No idea why someone would take a punt on him after that, at his age, with his attributes.
 
Absolutely dire season.

I have not seen him do one ''thing'' - a pass, a turn, a touch, a dribble - one thing that has been impressive and made me think he actually is a top footballer.
 
I just said in the post-match thread, but yeah... the worst performance from any one of our players this season

Should never start a game for us again, lets play Wilson instead - he's part of our future.
 
That was hilariously bad from him today. Deserves to get dropped for our next few games because he's seriously been a massive disappointment.

I miss Hernandez.
 
Abysmal. Kept falling over the ball and that miss was unforgivable.
 
I've been sticking by him all season, but I lost hope in him today.
 
So another striker is an absolute must this summer. Someone to play back-up to Rooney hopefully, but that's not going to happen.
 
It will be madness if we sign him to a long term deal. Not only has he lost a yard but I think that he struggles with the amount of pressure that Premier League defenders put him under.
 
I've been a staunch supporter of Falcao but today was just appalling. Not sure if its the partnership with RVP or the lack of service, but that miss was the final straw for me.

He just looks out of sync and doesn't fit well into this diamond formation. I don't blame him entirely though because RVP and Rooney are struggling to come to terms with this horseshit that LVG has us playing.

Needs to be dropped or played upfront with Rooney and not RVP. We also need to field two wingers to give him adequate service.
 
Was incredibly lucky to get the ball under his feet though. RvP couldn't have done any better either.
Funny how you put down Falcao but say RVP couldn't have done better. Following the trend of having different standards for Falcao on here.

RVP could've not hit it at the goalkeeper? Maybe in the corner or high into the roof of the net?

Falcao was a bit lucky but still got it under control with a defender on his back and had the awareness to play a perfect pass to his strike partner.
 
He plays like he's on his last legs every time a pass is made to him. We've already got one slouch in RvP. Having Falcao too goes completely against what the *********** said in the summer about balance.
 
You could blame the system all you want but striker of his reputation should be expected to put that chance away and he balloons it.

Could've been the difference between draw and a win today.
 
I take it we have nobody left who wants to see him be signed

Its quite sad watching him. He really does care and try hard, but he has no quality left at all
 
He's not the same Falcao we used to see in the past,in the best interest of United i hope we don't sign him.
 
I'll be dissappointed if he's used as more than a sub for the rest of the season. I'd rather see Wilson given the chance
 
I've defended him a lot this year but his finishing has become so poor it's inforgivable at this level. He works hard and tries but that just isn't enough. That was our chance which was really a sitter and he can't miss that.
 
We took a gamble bringing him in after such an injury. The injury was extremely serious and at his age, had the potential to basically ruin him. He looks a shadow of the player he once was which is a shame. It seems some on here don't appreciate what a great player he was in his prime. I think we should steer well clear of making him a permanent signing.
 
Sad to say but he just isn't the player he was. Can't fault his effort he put a lot into it but just doesn't seem to have it anymore. Go for someone else in the summer.

Edit: He was a bloody great player in his day though, people shouldn't dismiss that.
 
His first touch is crap. Still thought he was better than Van Persie though as he at least dropped deep and got involved with holding it up etc. Feeds off scraps too, would like to see him up top alone with Mata behind.
 
I've been patient with Falcao but after today, I'm done. The fact that Mendes keeps talking about Falcao's ability means he knows he's finished and he's trying desperately to convince some top team to take him.
