[Amadaeus]

not particular surprised by his performance so far.

 

[100]

Not doing anything unless it's all off the ball stuff. The goal though was 100% foul, I don't know what world Gary Neville is living in when criticising him for not holding the ball up there. Terry has come right through the back of him and kicked him on the leg.

 

[Bojan11]

He was kicked by Terry. It was clear.

 

[Señor]

Are you retarded? Rooney had Kompany or Dimechelis (sometimes both) up his arse for that entire game. That's why our midfield had so much space to do whatever they wanted - because Rooney was keeping the centrebacks so pre-occupied. Chelsea aren't even bothering to stick a man on Falcao because they know when he gets the ball he'll either (a) fall over, or (b) pass it to a man wearing blue.

Dude, there's no need for that.

And if you can't see the similarity between this performance and Wayne's last week, then that's down on you. It also helps that Chelsea have effectively three centre backs playing.

He's done just as good for us as Wayne did last week. Not saying that's good as he's been average but it's not been nearly as bad as some of you lot are making it out to be.

 

[All 3 United]

Any chance to lambast him though.

No he's been bullied by John bloody Terry, his touch is awful and is clearly not on the same wave length as the rest of the team. Awful 45mins as a forward when we've been on top.

 

[Ish]

Harsh on Falcao. He's barely had any service.

Yeah, I can't seem to recall when last he's had a decent chance as well. Pity though, he still needs to so much better protecting the ball.

Weve also been shit on the wings. Getting into good positions - but either pissing about and passing it back to the fullback or when we do decide it's time to cross, we hit it either straight at the front post or loop it out of play.

Kin hell.

 

[PSingh]

What really annoys me is he is continually making runs and pointing where he wants it and we are continually ignoring him. Hes not going to score if the only touches he gets are on the half way line.

Agree with this completely. Although he does need to be stronger with his back to goal.

 

[Baxter]

No he's been bullied by John bloody Terry, his touch is awful and is clearly not on the same wave length as the rest of the team. Awful 45mins as a forward when we've been on top.

His touch definitely hasn't been awful

 

[17Larsson]

Peoples opinions were made before this match even started. He's done what was asked, and pretty much at all times had about 4 defensive players around him. Rooney was getting praised for this last week!

Agree with that. Some people find it hard to watch each game without fitting in their agendas somehow

 

[Zoo]

Can't hold the ball up and repeatedly slips. He's not strong enough, I really hope that RVP can play the second half.

 

[Orton]

This is what Rooney served up last week (and the week before...and the week before).

People see what they want to see. Chelsea are the toughest team to play in the league and they have gone super defensive today. It's no surprise we have created little, and what we did create came from space where Falcao pulled the defenders with him to leave Rooney with that shot.

 

[ivaldo]

This and the match day thread have become jokes, before he's even touched the ball people here have decided he's been shit. He's played better than Rooney did last week and the criticism he's been getting is pathetic, people are looking for chances to attack him.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Fellaini on Fabregas - foul
Terry on Falcao - he's not strong enough

Gary Neville's becoming more like Martin Tyler, every game.

 

[kps88]

Chelsea aren't even bothering to stick a man on Falcao because they know when he gets the ball he'll either (a) fall over, or (b) pass it to a man wearing blue.

Well that is not true at all.

 

[All 3 United]

His touch definitely hasn't been awful

Right... !

 

[DevilRed]

Thought he got fouled when he lost the ball for the goal. But I suppose they were never going to call that on JT lionheart.

Has been poor but lets not forget he is playing lone striker against the best defense in the league. Its going to be hard work for him to even touch the ball let alone score. We also need to be looking for him more often and not just keeping possession for the sake of it. Young and Valencia need to put in the crosses for Falcao to get on.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Souness constantly saying Man Utd. Prick.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

He has lost the ball on a few occasions and gave away that dangerous freekick. Not great from him so far. His spat with Terry tells you that he is disappointed in himself.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

The sharks are out and won't go back.

He's done very little wrong.

It's just confirmation bias. People have decided he's crap, therefore they analyse his performances for things to criticise which will prove their point.

 

[kouroux]

G.Neville is a prick.

 

[GledTheRed]

Di Maria for Falcao please, Rooney back up top.

 

[DWelbz19]

Definitely a foul.

 

[Cassidy]

G.Neville is a prick.

Agreed

 

[dannyrhinos89]

It wasn't a foul.

Mate it was a clear foul terry came right through the back of him even

Even the dipper souness said it was

 

[ivaldo]

No he's been bullied by John bloody Terry, his touch is awful and is clearly not on the same wave length as the rest of the team. Awful 45mins as a forward when we've been on top.

I must've imagined that arm in that back. The whole of sky's panel agree too. You're just looking to criticise him.

 

[Boycott]

15 minutes to turn it around. Take him off if he doesn't do anything by an hour

 

[DarkXaero]

People have already made up their minds before the game about Falcao's performance, it is pretty sad. He hasn't done much wrong but someone has to be scapegoated since we are a goal down.

 

[NinjaZombie]

He has been out muscled every time Chelsea get anywhere near him. We might as well play Wilson in there. Sure he's played some simple layoffs, but I'm sure Wilson can do that.

That goal we conceded was pathetic from him. I won't be surprised if he's subbed out in the second half.

 

[LeChuck]

People see what they want to see. Chelsea are the toughest team to play in the league and they have gone super defensive today. It's no surprise we have created little, and what we did create came from space where Falcao pulled the defenders with him to leave Rooney with that shot.

He should've put that away.

 

[Nighteyes]

He's been ok. Not sure why he's been abused

 

[Ixion]

Souness, Henry and Redknapp all said it was a foul at half time.

 

[LLMU]

Not effective so far as the lone striker

 

[Señor]

Peoples opinions were made before this match even started. He's done what was asked, and pretty much at all times had about 4 defensive players around him. Rooney was getting praised for this last week!

This is what Rooney served up last week (and the week before...and the week before).

Our best chance came because their defenders were marking Falcao.

This and the match day thread have become jokes, before he's even touched the ball people here have decided he's been shit. He's played better than Rooney did last week and the criticism he's been getting is pathetic, people are looking for chances to attack him.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

13/15 passes have been successful (86.7%), both misplaced ones were layoffs near the halfway line.

Fouled for their goal quite clearly. Hasn't had a shot whereas Rooney missed a very poor attempt by their standards (and given time he had coming onto the ball).

= Falcao is the worst player on the pitch.

Grip.

 

[Orton]

He should've put that away.

Left foot though, was difficult to take on first time. Thought it was in mind you, as did de Gea

 

[iammemphis]

Wasn't a foul

 

[Zoo]

G.Neville is a prick.

What did he say?

 

[All 3 United]

I must've imagined that arm in that back. The whole of sky's panel agree too. You're just looking to criticise him.

No it was by the rule of the game a foul. No question but rarely given and you'd expect a so called 'tiger' and world class forward to be much stronger! Would Rooney have gone down there!?

 

[IrishLegend]

He's been poor all game and needs to come off, I actually though he started his stint with us quite well, but for a while now he's been completely off the boil, there's no desire there, his minds already elsewhere.
