Absolute joke that he's played 90 minutes today.

Yeah he had a decent enough 2nd half.
Dont think we need a scapegoat, wasn't a spectacular performance, the ball was a bit slow moving forward which shouldn't be a big surprise with the injuries, was by no means bad either though.
Chelsea played well, did a very good defensive job. Limited us to some crosses which they looked very comfortable with.
Actually thought he did ok. Certainly gave his all
But no way should we sign him still

Okay I'll put it out there. He was decent. Anybody that thinks he was useless is totally biased in my opinion.
We're all frustrated, I understand the frustration. But we should still be objective.
We could say Rooney wasted our best chance and put an unmarked header over the bar. But we're ripping into Falcao for some good defending by Cahill and creating and missing a chance.
That one where he hit the bar btw, at the near post from that angle I think what he went to do was the right thing. Smashing it high into the top corner.
What more could he have done really though. Chelsea were content with just defending all game and he didn't have any room to work with really, not to mention most of the time we just looked happy enough to play to the wings and keep the ball without trying anything penetrative. He was clearly fouled for the goal, so G NEV can shut up about that.
Courtois was well beaten anyway.
He tried, and really isn't that all that matters?
He was no better or worse than alright. The problem is that we've seen little else all season.
Can't seem to hold the ball up. too weak and slow. Let's really not sign him.
He did OK. One of his better performances for us, which doesn't say a great deal but still.
What I see is that he doesn't get the ball as much as he wants to - I don't think the team trusts him enough. Still, the Falcao of old would be brilliant in this side - unfortunately, I think it's best if he goes. I have no doubt if he joins a side that suits his style a little better, then we'll see some of his magic returning.

It's an amazing downfall, he's not even half the player he once was.
Wasn't that bad today actually but given what we expected from him its just depressing to watch.

That's the main problem. If that's the best he could offer, he's not the answer.
At a certain point, trying isn't enough anymore.
Score? That chance when he was through he should have buried.
I honestly find it disgusting that this man is being paid £250k/week, or whatever it is.
He should be embarrassed to be getting paid that sort of money.

Dont think it would have mattered who was up top today. Don't see any future for Falcao here, but he's not to blame for the loss anyway.
Yes it would. It is strange to say it wouldn't matter, as if he's done the best EVERY striker could do.
It wasn't that easy. Could have done better if he played with more confidence. Rooney missed a good chance too remember.
Wouldn't want him ever starting again. Was so poor today, too weak with his back to goal and made it very easy for Chelsea's defenders. How he played 90 mins is beyond me.
It was a similar angle to Hazards and we all know how that ended.
Agreed. Thought he played well
All you can do is your best, what sort of message are we sending to our children of we criticise Falcao?
Should've scored his chance. Not worth the money though. We might as well have kept Hernandez. That guy never stops trying, us younger and actually scores goals.
He wasnt the worst player on the pitch.
Yeah, lets compare soon to be player of the year to shot of confidence Falcao when he gets his one good chance infront of goal in about 2 months.
When did he last score for us? January?
Think it was a bad idea to start him and a worse one to give him the full 90.

Same thing nearly every match. The lack of creativity of our central midfield makes our world class strikers look poor. Falcao got one through pass into the box all game. No-one even tried to link up with him centrally.
try hard and getting paid 300k a week, while producing feck all?It was a tighter angle than Hazard's and he had to hit it first time while Hazard took himself through and had time to pick his spot. Not the same.
He played alright. No worse than Rooney or Fellaini or Young.
He did OK today, but that isn't good enough to sign him in the long run. Benteke would have done a better job than him today, and that's saying something.
He has been a good professional but we need to cut out losses on this deal and move on.

Hazard isn't a striker and Falcao is. You asked could he have done more and the answer is yes.
Rooney was praised to the high heavens for having no attempts on goal against City. It's just what people want to see. Obviously I'd prefer Rooney up top but ripping into Falcao after today's game is completely daft.
Problem is that he's Falcao and is being paid an utter fortune. The expectation is understandably massive.
Today he did alright and had he scored 15 goals this season we'd be saying that he was just unlucky. But overall this season he's done nothing to warrant blowing a massive bit of transfer budget on him.
For Falcao of old that's an easy chance, but I never believed he'd score his body language didn't indicate any belief.
He played OK but considering who he is, what he is being paid every week, and what it'd cost to sign him permanently OK is not enough.
This. Falcao has gone from being a match winner to a 6 out of 10 striker. Good enough but not amazing. It's sad but true. No doubt if Blind and Carrick are still out Van Persie will be back next week.
And a confident Falcao probably would have. Like I said, no confidence, no goals in months, barely plays and wont be signed. What did you expect? It was actually good to see him carve that chance for himself with a decent turn because nobody else was able to create much.
His runs are garbage. Once agian, he spent half his time hiding behind Chelsea players.
I'll try for 200k a week mate.
Not really fair to criticise considering how little football he's played recently so he's obviously not going to be sharp...
Just not good enough unfortunately.
