Was he bad?
We all wrong.
He'd be on fire for Madrid next season. Shit service innit.

Cringeworthy.
One of the worst performers in the United side if not the worst.Blocked 2 shots that can be goals as well.
Shame that guy has been banned since!
Tonight he looked like a player playing his 1st game back after a cruciate injury rather than one who's been back for 8 months. He was a yard off most balls that went into the box, let the ball bounce off him on numerous occasions, was outmuscled repeatedly by a 17 year old and when he attempted a dribble in the first half he looked like somebody who had never played football before with each touch taking the ball further and further out of his control
did not watch the game but was he really that bad ?
Cheers , I feel that is days here are very numbered, I really hope we ship him back to where he came from in the summer.
Plenty of pictures of him wearing fat-ass glasses. Don't know if it's a fashion thing but it wouldn't surprise me if he's as blind as a bat. Might even explain a few things...
Jaysus, that was a tough watch. He's a shell of a man.
Did anyone watch him at France? Was he this abject there too? Surely to god we didn't agree to this deal without one of our scouts having a look at him?

He did score some goals there and was good I think. Maybe I'm wrong though.
I did watch him quite a bit for Monaco last season hence why I made those predictions in August, he didnt look like his Atletico self even before the injury to be fair.
The sooner we realize he's finished the better. Rickie Lambert would do a fecking better job than this guy right now.
I find it really sad when a world class player losses it so badly, he should just hang his boots up and retire.
Informative.
From what I recall, he was fine at Monaco, not as exciting as at Atlético but the team was extremely cautious, and he obviously didn't enjoy that much being there. But he was fine. The injury has ruined him.
Eerily similar to Shevchenko at Chelsea. Genuinely hard to watch at times.
Scored 11 in 20 for Monaco
Is he wearing Fellaini's boots from last season?
Before or after the latest injury?
Yes very much so , I really wanted him to do well when he came.
Sad really, but that surely puts to bed any ideas of actually starting him in the first XI... or even bringing him off the bench.
That was before the injury in January. He only played for Monaco again in August before moving to United.
He started well at Monaco, even led the French league in goals scored somewhere around October or November, then missed about a month with a small injury, returned, barely played, and got the knee injury.
Not really a season where you can judge him by regular standings. He had essentially three months of good physical form.
whoop there it is... Sad thing is how fecking tragicEvery game the commentators seem fixated on Falcao, asking why we're not bringing him off the bench when needing a goal, like they're still viewing him as the old Atletico player, and not the blindingly obvious realisation that this person is not the same guy as he was then.
I find it really annoying whenever they fixate on him during games, former perception vs reality, I choose reality ever time.

I know I'm in the minority but I can still see the old Falcao within him, I truly believe it's down to the way he has been used and the way we are playing.
In regards to favourites before a ball was kicked, Rooney and van Persie were above him in the pecking order and nothing Falcao could ever do would or will change that, ones a captain and ones a mate. That's life though, happens in all sports and teams.
In regards to the way we play though, we just don't give him the chances that a United striker should be getting, it's slow so and easy for a back four to set themselves, no matter what movement comes from the front, if the ball and numbers aren't going forward, chances won't be created.
The other week when he turned and won the penalty, for van Gaal to sub him was probably the weirdest decision this season, there was a chance to play him against a woeful 10 men for 30mins to try and get a goal but he was rewarded with a seat on the bench.
In saying all that, the chances and opportunities he has had, he has been poor but the issue is bigger than those moments in my opinion, it comes down to van Gaal and the way the team provide for the strikers. The amount of times Falcao get a ball pinged to his knees with his back to goal on the halfway line is mind-boggling

He's finished, plus I don't really think LvG likes Falcao or Mendes.
If you were watching tonight and you can still say that......
I watched it did I?
I'm not hiding from the fact he has been poor but the team has been worse and if we played well, he would be the one to gain the most.
I think he is blind, It was a few weeks ago he was getting subbed and he couldn't read if it's his number being hold up or not! It was funny at the time but it does make you wonder if he is....
Lvg moved Rooney to midfield just to play him..
Its true that the service has been very very poor but he has done nothing with the little service he got, we both now that he"s squandered a fair amount of great chances too this season.
Dont get the fuss about that substitute, I think LVG was already planning to take him off for tactical reasons, I would be worried if one turn completely changes his mind and result in him switching another player or even dont let the substiture come on.
I admire your optimism.

And I can still see the little boy in Van persie
He does look skinny now, I'm sure that he used to be a lot more powerful. Being outmuscled by a 17 year old is not encouraging in the slightest.
He has Torres'd.
