Hope RVP enjoys the bench.
Hiding one knee from the camera. Definitely something wrong with it, maybe even an icepack on it there. Crock. Get rid.
They had enough rest while they've all been constantly injured.I always thought you get a day off after a match? Surprised to see them training today especially after an away game!
If he hits or even shows sporadic glimmers of his Madrid form, we could go on a serious run.
That's the thing with long term injuries, it takes a while to get back into the swing of things and get that consistency with your fitness. He was our for so long so of course it'll take a while for his body to adjust and get back to full fitness and stay clear of the little niggles. Hopefully he's over them now and can get a run of games, as the brief time he played was encouraging in terms of his overall play.Thing is, after that Everton goal I thought he'd kick on and score a feck load. LVG was saying that he expected him to start firing after that international break, but it wasn't to be...
Hopefully he comes back confident and starts winning us valuable points.
A rare Anderson sighting too!
I'd love Handsome Tevez to finally show us what he can do in a red shirt.

Falcao can tell the time too so he wont get stuck playing golf in Columbia for months...Handsome and eloquent.
That picture of Falcao training looks old as how come Utd players are back in training after yesterday game.
This.
Also no way Mata is smiling at the moment..
His 'new injury' was the recent injury he picked up, he just wasn't match fit. Van Gaal called it 'new' because he was trying to differentiate it from his actual ACL injury. He's more lacking match fitness than injured.He also had a new calf injury which seems to be taking a (suspiciously) long time to recover.

Speaking to DirecTVSports, Falcao said: "Probably as soon as I play and score goals they will stop talking.
"I have to try and ensure that everything that does not add something positive to me doesn't damage me.
"There is a lot of speculation but I have to try to isolate myself from it.
"When a player comes to a new league, with the numbers like I had in my previous clubs, it is normal there are high expectations.
"Unfortunately I have had to sit out a few games due to the injury.”
Falcao then discussed how he currently felt at his new club: "I've played five games, three of which I started. What I needed was to play to get used to the new league and when I have played I believe I have not had any problems.
“I think I've played well. I am very calm and happy."
Guys, Falcao is currently recovering from a long term, serious, career threatening injury.
He also had a new calf injury which seems to be taking a (suspiciously) long time to recover.
What makes you guys think he will start in the next 2 weeks?
My prediction is that he may play 20 minutes (per game) in the next 2 weeks but 45 minutes is pushing it too far.
This guy is extremely fragile and needs to be brought back slowly.
I simply cannot understand where people are getting information from that Falcao is ready to play 45+ minutes or even start a game.
I stated this in the Arsenal Match thread and people kept putting Falcao in the starting 11. I even asked in there why people are putting an injured player in their team and got some irrational responses.
And for those who think RvP wont be starting for Man Utd....you clearly havent learnt anything about LvG. He'll probably be the 2nd name (after Rooney) to go on the team sheet.
In 2-3 months IF Falcao is able to play 90 minutes, then Falcao may be ahead of RvP in the pecking order, but as of 24/11/2014, RvP is our No.1 striker. Get used to it.
