he's so useless with his back to goal. if he just stands still he'll get a free kick but he throws himself forward each time.
 
Is Falcao one of the best examples in a long time that the EPL is a much harder environment to succeed in than other European leagues?

Shevchenko and Crespo come to mind. Atleast Falcao has the excuse of being injured before coming to England

No doubt. His strength was a big asset abroad, not so much now. His injury issues also won't have helped.

Total passenger so far. No idea why he was brought on.

No. He's an example that despite medical improvements, ACL injuries are damn hard to recover from.

England isn't a harder league to succeed in.

Very true. Its a confidence thing related to his past injury, and he's become an ordinary player as a result.
 
I don't understand at this stage why we are still giving him minutes. You could forgive the lack of goals if he brought pace to the side, creativity or didn't lose every dual he goes in for.
 
Don't need to see anymore after this game, not sure why we did anyway but with RVP back there absolutely no point, he's just completely toast.
 
He's been no worse than anyone else. Our play doesn't suit him, we need to supply him with chances and we're completely unable to do so. He's not the sort of striker to create his own chances, and he gets blamed for not being a certain type of player. He'll score goals in a setup more suited to him.

Fair enough, but he's also had zero good performances this season, so there'll be less of a tendency to cut him some slack. Understandably in my opinion.
 
I honestly wish I could earn that much being as poor at my job. It's astonishing. 300kpw for falling over a few times giving an impression of trying? Incredible!

I don't care what he would do elsewhere, for us he has been absolutely useless and we are a worse team every time he is on the pitch, spends more time on the floor than any striker I have ever seen.
 
Absolutely useless, it really annoys me how many times he comes on and does nothing. Fair enough, he doesn't get many chances, but is it so much to ask to play football without slipping over and falling on your face? It's just sad how much he regressed.
 
Despite this you just know he will play a part in the next 4 games. It's a total joke. I thought this manager was all about performances and not big names.

Yeah... If Falcao hadn't come on, we'd have played better, as we did in that first half, right?
 
He looks like a championship level striker, he's been dreadful all year the sooner he fecks off the better. £200k a week....what a joke.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm just saying he's been very poor and he still manages to come on every single match to do nothing.
 
Looked better than Rooney up top but let's not let reality get in the way
 
Anyway, he's absolute feckin' garbage. One of the worst players I've ever seen play for Manchester United.

I'll break it down for you. Rooney, who's been poor upfront since the game against Spurs, was poor again today, so our manager decided to bring on our other fit striker to see if things would change.

We were no better with Falcao than we were without, no harm done.
 
Reckon he should go the the states be a star over there and still collect his wages

Not sure who in Europe will give him what he wants
 
I don't think he would have gotten so many chances to prove himself at any other top club. Should have been frozen out of the squad months ago.

Is Rooney meant to be any better in midfield? At least rooney can score and set up goals upfront even if he's playing poor
 
Each and every game he's getting better. At the art of being invisible.
