I'm starting to think Van Gaal just lies about Falcao so that Van Persie can play... This shit is getting ridiculous.
 
Nice. Another game for him to get the last 30 minutes from the bench by which time Di Maria will be off the field and he'll be feeding of scraps again.
 
If he isn't able to play at all then the chances of beating Chelsea drop significantly I think.

RVP hasn't done nearly enough this season.

Yep, if that.

Its beyond frustrating. We really aren't gettin any luck this season at all. Infact, we haven't been getting any ever since Fergie left.
 
FFS Falcao better be fit. I hope this is just some silly mind games because I don't think I can deal with RVP again.
 
"He got a kick in the morning [on Friday] so we have to wait and see if he's fit enough," revealed Reds boss Louis van Gaal. "But it's not a knee problem.

"He had a knee problem but not anymore. We have to build Falcao up, that I have also said in the first press conference when he came to our club.

"It is difficult because we are playing [games] already, that’s difficult but we have played him because I like the way he was playing so we play with two strikers. Now I have to choose between two strikers, even three because [James] Wilson can also play, the younger player."
That basically sounds like confirmation RVP will be starting as a lone striker tomorrow...
 
I hope it's mind games because the thought of RvP playing lone striker again is depressing.
 
Shock start for Wilson? Doubt Chelsea will know much about the lad.

If he's out then it'll be RVP on his own, which is a bit worrying. He's still capable of something special but he's been more of a hindrance so far this season.

RVP, in the form he's in, up top on his own against Terry/Cahill. This aint ending well.

The difference it made having Falcao on the pitch, even for those 20 minutes, against West Brom was so visible.

It's getting depressing to see RVP continue to start over Falcao....cmon Van Gaal, stop with the favouritism

Not much he can do with Rooney being suspended, and Falcao not fit and now possibly injured.
 
Who the feck is kicking Falcao 2 days before a game?

Hmm...

In all seriousness though, if Falcao is on the bench for the majority of the game then I withdraw the optimism expressed in my 'we'll get something from both games' thread.

I'll also be suspicious that Van Gaal is making excuses for constantly playing RvP - silly as that sounds.
 
What? People are actually considering that Van Gaal is lying about Falcao in order to make excuses to play Van Persie?












Seriously?
 
This season is looking just as bad as last season in terms of pure shit luck. Give us a fecking break..
 
Slightly off topic but did anyone see van Gaal creaming himself over RVP in The Sun today?, does RVP know something dodgy about Van Gaal or something?
 
Well this news is disappointing. Makes beating Chelsea look more difficult considering RvP's form.
 
things don't look good for falcao... If his stop-start season continue throughout the season, I don't think we will buy him on a permanent deal.
 
You have to wonder if Van Gaal is reversing the "Costa" games on Mourinho..?

If that's not the case, I actually worry about his knee. With his holding his jacket over his knee and all the talk about his knee... Then he gets injured and van Gaal's first words are "its not his knee", it's only natural to think it's probably his knee.
 
It's way too early to write off RVP as a pipe smoking, slipper wearing spent force.
