well done, sinch.Am I seeing things or does it look like he has lost pace, despite the good movement behind the line?
He probably feels liberated knowing in familiar surroundings he's got the backing to play his natural game. He started off well here but has got worse and worse as time has gone on probably due to a mental factor in that he's practically failing an audition. He hasn't got much time as it is, and in fairness has probably been wondering for much of the season when his next chance will come. Yes it's sad that against Yeovil and Cambridge and Spurs U21 he made no impact, but then it's sad that a United team couldn't create an opening for the striker too. I think this international break will do him a lot of good as he can get away from it all, and do something to feel good about himself. Whilst I wouldn't buy him for next season, it'll be good for us and him for a change of fortunes in the run in.
If he was at full speed. Yes, he lost a lot of speed.
Nearly all the Bahrain squad play in Bahrain, the standard must be about League 2 level, if that.
Hello Falcao.
That was Anderson
Good thing he is actually doing well to secure a move to a new club
Hopefully he gets his confidence back when he's back with us.

Scoring is better than not scoring even if the opposition is poor. But what is Colombia doing playing Behran and then Kuwait? The money offered must be really good.
I am glad he scored. Not sure it means a whole lot considering the opposition and stuff though.
I don't care if it's just Bahrain....goals are goals and that can only help Falcao
If Kane scores a couple against Lithuania tomorrow then he's the king of England

Kane's the PL's leading goal scorer ahead of Costa, Aguero, Sanchez and Rooney...
and it's Falcao's first bad season in his career
exactly
You're saying he's garbage?
Falcao needs a team to be built around him. It was the case in Porto, Atleti, Monaco but not at United.
He does not have the all around game like Van Persie possesses to be the target man and bring people into play. The man is a wonderful goalscorer but that's where it stops. He is an advanced version of Hernandez who possesses strength and power. Sadly, he's unable to follow the teachings of Van Gaal and progress at United.
He'll go somewhere else at the end of the season, somewhere where he doesn't need to be a disciplined, pressing forward. Somewhere he won't have to follow the strict regimen put in place by LVG.
You see the thing is this, if Falcao came when Fergie was around, he'd have been so much more successful. Everything was well and the club was very stable. BUt, now he comes at a time of great tumult at United. A team where risks in results can no longer be taken. Manchester United no longer have the luxury of playing unhappy players. Only the result is king, because we need to get back to winning ways. For that, we need a consistent way of playing, a consistent meritocracy and most importantly a constant hand at the wheel.
We smashed Tottenham and battered Liverpool in their own den in the space of 7 days. These things don't happen unless the system is finally getting through to the players and it only happens when the players believe in their manager's ways.
Falcao should bow away gracefully. How many clubs in the world were willing to take a chance on a broken striker who needed to be payed absurd amounts of money every week? One who is coming back from an injury that has ended or scathed many a football career? We took him in. Made him stronger. Gave him a chance, we really did. It just didn't work out.
It is a great misfortune that one of the great goalscorers of the last 10 years doesn't fit into that mould. LVG has installed a powerful meritocracy at United. You play according to his ways, or you don't. This is what Fergie used to do regardless of name and reputation. With Giggs by his side, LVG can power on with his ways, as it should be in these trying times. No one matters more than the club. Sorry Falcao, it just wasn't meant to be.

Think the big thing about Falcao was 1 his previous injury 2 the pace of the premier league and 3 playing in a team struggling for an identity. Put them all together and it's easy to see why he struggled settling but he's a great player who is to expensive to take that sort of risk on finically with his age and outlay. Loan deal worth the gamble but permanent not as unfortunately it's not worked out. The only way this guy is heading back to the premier league or la liga is with a massive drop in fee and wages.
It was Yeovil and it was Cambridge. What's your point?
I do feel for him a little bit. He had many opportunities in our team but mainly when we were tinkering with all sorts of systems and never really had a good flow to our play. I suspect he'd thrive much more in this set up than he did in the previous ones, the problem being it would likely mean dropping Rooney.
goals are goals, regardless of the opposition.
hopefully he can still get a few for us while he is here. don't think he can blame LVG for lack of opportunities. he just failed to deliver most of the time.

Might as well sign Matt Tubbs then.
I'm delighted he scored but is it just me that's very cynical about the keepers attempts to save those two goals?
"cynical"? Are you suggesting he deliberately didn't try to save them? If so, I find that quite bizarre. He's likely just not very good.
Yeah Falcao only happens against Bahrain?
I don't think, he would do it against Turkay
'Cos strikers, they will come and they will go
And since he's really thirty three, we know
We know...
Are you saying that Mendes wouldn't grease the palm of some lowly Bahrain goalkeeper to boost the ailing profile of one of his blue chip assets?
There's an awful lot of money riding on Falcaos next move/contract and football agents aren't the most honest types so yeah I'd be cynical of stuff like that.
Hopefully not though
I'm not saying he wouldn't because I don't know the man. However I'd hope that he wouldn't and I doubt that he did.
2 goals against Bahrain are hardly going to have Europe's elite scrapping to sign Falcao.
If you look at his goals the first one is struck into the side netting making it actually a very good finish. We're not talking about 2 goalkeeping howlers here and I'd say it's a bit odd to jump to a conclusion like that. Some people do love a good conspiracy theory though so...
No conspiracy theory, I just think the keeper looks like he doesn't try too hard to save them
Should give him a start next week and rest rooney. See if he can carry on where he left off here. With the way we've been playing there's plenty of places goals can come from if he falls short
That's my boy. Funny how the other players look for his run and give it to him. Still hoping he proves himself at United.
8 games are enough to earn a £40m transfer?
Absolute insanity.
So do I, because if not, he sure as hell will elsewhere. Anyway if it was up to the schoolgirls we would have replaced every player in the squad to get some shiny new toys
I think the £40million price tag will be significantly reduced no matter who buys him.
it was fecking BAHRAIN, no offence
