Very very pleased to see him get his first goal today! Also, it is plain obvious to see that he's going to be top class for us once he's fully match fit and integrated into the team.

This can't come soon enough!
I was a bit gutted seeing him substituted but i feel his match time needs to be limited where ever possible to reduce the risk of damaging his knee.
The premiership is a hard league and like Herrera has shown it is easy to pick up injuries.
Happy he scored today and loved his celebration...wrap him in cotton wool until the next match.

Still doesn't look 100 percent up to pace.
But he sure knows how to get on the end of things. Now he's broken the deadlock I expect him to start put chances away.

The twitter pic is not really conclusive...what is more noticeable is Rojo is complete naked while everyone else is still in the kit.

I think his knee probably has a few bandages on it. Par for the course though given the nature of his injury.
He's just hiding the bell of a monster boner.
Hispanic team.
His movement is incredible.
His finishing hasn't been what we all know it can be, so far. But his movement and the positions that he gets into are just top class. Once he finds his scoring touch, he is going to be lethal.
De Gea and Rafael are missing.
Just found out his celebration was in honour of his idol, Marcelo Salas.

Salas! That fecker! He was supposed to join before going to Lazio years ago.
Delighted for him that he is off the mark.
He is clearly still rusty. There was a few scuffed chances that he probably would have buried when he was at Atletico. But he does get himself in them positions. Give him a few more weeks and I think he will be banging them in left right and center.

Yeah happy for him today. Like all sportsmen (and women), they need confidence. Even great stars like Federer for e.g. can lose their confidence due to injuries etc. Once they recover, it can take some time to get up to speed and they usually need that catalyst to get going again. Reckon today was Falcao's - he needed that goal. The longer he went without one the more anxious he would become. So pleased for him today. Shame we don't have CL (and the league cup) where he could get some more playing time and get the goalscoring up to speed.
Photoshop.
Breakthrough goal but still a long road to Radamel Falcao, the best striker in the world.
Good signs in his game today. Lots of hunger for football. He'll be fine.

He looks like he's gonna score an absolute cnut load for us. His movement is incredible.
The instinct for his goal was ridiculous, already in movement before the shot.
His attitude is brilliant. He didn't have the best of first halves tbh but what I like is he just kept going. And he was in the right place at two crucial moments. Once he clicks properly it's going to be great.
Just get him up top on his own in a 4-3-3 or partner him with Rooney, and I think he'll improve, as will the side as a whole.
Glad he got off the mark, you could sense his finishing clearly suffer from the anxiety. Also impressed by the amount of defensive work he puts in game after game for a true superstar player.
This with Januzaj and Di Maria as inside forwards he will score a bucket load. I think the team as a whole will be more solid if we just did that and that is more important than placating egos. Rooney to play the role he played for Hernandez in 2011 and I think his hunger has returned enough for him to be successful there.
He must be feeling incredibly confident about his knee (or just forgot about it) to do the knee slide for his celebration by the way. Though I'm not sure what he used for his acl as that could make a difference. I'm only at 3 months since mine but I wouldn't dream of doing a knee slide ever again after my surgery
Needs to play as number 9. No point in signing him if you're not gonna have him leading the line as THE number 9.
Also, that twitter pic is definitely a bit fishy. He just has a vibe in his movement of not being totally fit, he just looks a little withdrawn in his movement and almost a little pained at times. Maybe it's just his general facial expression, I dunno.
I'd be very, very wary of signing him permanently though unless he's been an absolute beast for the second half of the season.

That's iconic.Just found out his celebration was in honour of his idol, Marcelo Salas.
LO LO LLLOOO!

He's done a bloomin' good job. He puts the ball in the net exactly like him.
These finishes could easily be Falcao's.
I doubt he'd have slid on his knees in celebration if he had any concern about them.
I'm not getting the issue with that twitter picture? He had a hoody over him, so what? We've seen plenty pictures of his knees.
Same here. It's pretty strange. I guess people are just being paranoid.
This. Its like people are trying to force it talking constantly about movement and hold up play, what he was world class at was scoring from everywhere.. Hes still a good player but he doesnt look anything like he did at Atletico so far, and has cost me a lot of money up until today on scorer bets!
Every cloud, then..
Nah, he was Tebowing.Just found out his celebration was in honour of his idol, Marcelo Salas.
Yeah he won me a packet today
I was getting so frustrated at his constant misses though.Great to get off the mark. I was getting that Forlan feeling with Falcao, I could just see it going longer and longer but glad he finally got the goal.
The positive note people don't seem to be noting is how good he's looked outside of the box for us. Sure he was signed on the premise of scoring a shit load of goals but his link up and hold up were not skills people ever really talked about, it was his ability to find space, his heading and his shooting which won plaudits.
I've really warmed to the guy, he's a proper forward. I think the goals will start to flow in time. He could've had a hat trick today and he probably would have scored all 5 18 months ago.

It clearly meant a lot to him to get his first goal for us. Glad he's got it, I'm sure they'll start flowing now.
