Judging Falcao differently than any other striker we have and that's been going on all season.
Is the Valencia thread being bumped for letting Hazard go past him or constanty dallying on the ball, slowing down our attacks?
Is Young's for not putting in one decent ball into the box?
Is Mata's for some terrible corners?
No, Falcao's is for what? Giving the ball away once or twice and being fouled.
If Rooney was doing it it shows he's up for the fight.

Nah, I've given Rooney credit when he deserved it, and last week his performance was awfully similiar to Falcao's today. Not great but doing a job.
No, hes given it away time and time again. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
People are really harsh on him. He's done okay today.
For Falcao I feel it was an expression of his frustration, mostly with himself.
He's not been too bad and had little service but he was weak for their goal.
There's another replay. Clear foul.
Yes he would. He's already gone down for less.
YOu have to thread a ball or two behind the backline for him to have any sort of impact. Hoofing balls up aimed at him in the Premier League is a big no-no.
So what you're saying is he WAS fouled and rarely given? You're looking for reasons to criticise him.
He's been putting himself about all game. I think he realises this is a big chance for him today and he's doing what he can to take it.
I'm not saying he's doing brilliantly, just that he's doing better than some are saying on here.
Nah man his passes were going nowhere, he misplaced all of them. I don't care what stats say or what actually happens on the pitch. I only care about my agenda
I agree.
Why are opinions always so extreme? I blame him for the goal, but he's done okay for most of the half.
If only RVP had been fit. I'd have liked to see him in the lone role.
What I am saying is i'd expect any United player to stay on their feet in that position it wasn't as if he couldn't stay up. Weak.
As I thought. This is one thing I really dislike about the premier league. If that is falcao or Di Maria it's not given. If it's Lampard or Rooney or Giggs it's a foul.
Maybe it was in this particular situation. If the ball goes into his feet with a defender behind him i expect him to drop on the floor and get nothing for it.
It happens a few times a match every time he plays. Im sure a few were fouls but hes not getting anything for it so i still wish he'd learn his lesson and stop going down so easy.
Its harsh and he hasn't played bad today, its just a pet peeve i have with him i guess.
But the example you used -Rooney, has already gone down for less in this game. Face it, you immediately took the chance to harass Falcao and now you've realised you've made a bit of a tit of yourself.
I'm no fan of Falcao he's been absolute dross since signing for us but in this particular game He's just a scapegoat. He really hasn't done much wrong and people are being waaaay to harsh.
Not at all. I have nothing against him and Rooney has not gone down for less. Fact is he's been poor and was at fault for the goal for being soft.
Wasted another fine chance. This is painful.
Wasted. Lol. You're painful.
Harsh.
Like fellaini just went down from Zouma challenge there?
honestly.So unlucky, awesome play.
Clear in on goal AGAIN. And our striker doesn't score.
Needs to at least hit the target from that close.
Inches away from vintage Falcao.
Now that was a situation where he couldn't stay on his feet.Like fellaini just went down from Zouma challenge there?
It's sad to say but I've honestly never seen a player if such quality become so bad, so quickly.
He's obviously a confidence player.
He's obviously a confidence player.
I don't even need a rebuttal - he blew another chance right after your post. Just watch him try to score and "perform". He's ineffective.
I look forward to your posts in the Rooney thread for wasting chances as well.
How has he got 90 mins today? Utter shite.
Can't we both agree, that for this club to truly succeed, we need a more effective striker than we have seen? It's certainly not Falcao and it probably isn't Rooney.
We should hardly be surprised that Falcao has again failed to score or offer much of anything. I hope this is the last time we see him play.
I do agree with the first part.
You're still overly harsh on Falcao as are a lot of people on here. And he offered more than Rooney did last week, today.
Hasn't been as bad as a lot of his other performances but not been good enough today either, offers very little to the team.
It's frustration - at seeing a once great player, a potentially great signing, who I really wanted to succeed, contribute so little.
Useless up front. Wouldn't out of place in Barnsley team, if he played there.
Done as well as he could really. Unlucky Cahill blocked that shot, and showed some of the old Falcao when he turned Zouma but the finish was a bit poor. We rarely looked for him all game.
He is shit.
Strikers have been our biggest problem this season for me probably.
