Today he's been involved in everything we've created. He's set up huge chances for Welbeck and Scholes, set up a goal, scored a goal, and that fantastic pass for Rooney who teed up Welbeck were him as well. He's been brilliant today.
What a player. He could knock in 40 this year.
Probably his best all round performance for the club so far. Hopefully he can keep it going second half.
He's been instrumental in everything we've done today. cracking game so far.
He's so good it's unreal he plays for United
1 assist and 1 goal, class.
He is carrying us this season with his goals.
Class is an understatement, his sweet touch of the ball is incredible. Amazing that probably the best finisher in the world also is an outstanding passer.
Seems pretty normal to me, it was strange that he played for Arsenal.
What is love? Robin Van Persie! Robin Van Persie! Paul Scholes.
Before RvP scored today, our last 12 goals came from 12 different goalscorers.
Yeah, today he's been more involved in the build-up but in other games he's been largely on the periphery but still come up with something e.g. Fulham at home, Southampton away and Cluj away
Matchwinners. He's won us games on his own, Southampton, Liverpool, Cluj, and today if it stays this way.
Welp, this is what happens when you use RVP properly. deadly
What do we think about him taking corners? I'm asking, because against Newcastle my dad went on a rant about how the strikers should always be in the box.
Imo, you want your best corner takers taking the corners, and you want your best headers of the ball in the box, whether they're strikers or not.

You're right.
He's so classy, looks like he's really enjoying and thriving being part of this United attack.
It's been the first time since Becks left that we look dangerous from corners. Tell your Dad to hush up.
We dont often sign 'superstars'..
I like the feeling.
I like the feeling.
Behave.
Point stands though, you're right...more than capable passer. He was quality all round today - he's been a top signing so far. That pass over to the right wing for Valencia =
Fantastic performance, just one Arsenal habit he needs to shake off imo and that's to be a little more shot happy around the area, sometimes tries one pass too many trying to set someone up.
Behave.

Along with Falcao, Ronaldo and Messi probably is the best finisher in the world. Wouldn't necessarily say that he is any worse of a finisher than them three.
Behave.

Who is a better finisher right now?
He reminds me a bit of Cantona in the presence and confidence he brings to the whole team.
Magnificent player and buy for us. We struck gold with him.

Messi, definitely. Never mind anyway my apologies it was a pointless comment, he's top class.
(meant the pass to Rooney and all, not Valencia).
I always thought it was weird when Drogba took corners for Chelsea because he's such a huge threat in the air.
That's not the case with Van Persie. Obviously he can be, as his winner against Southampton shows, but he's not our biggest threat in that area so we don't lose that much by not having him in the box.
We'd lose more probably by not having him taking those corners as he's very good at it.
I think he is still about 2-3 notches below prime fitness and prime form...i cant wait to see that
Yep. Agree with that.

I'd like to keep it that way though. You don't want a player maxed out early in the season. Especially RvP. To sustain it till the end is impossible and would lead to an injury or exhaustion
Its still akward to see him ij United line-up
His link-up/set-up play today was top notch. Stoke weren't particularly good at the back mind.
Norwich fans rather amusingly taunting Arsenal whenever Giroud misses a chance by singing: "He would have scored that, he would have scored thaaaaat, Robin Van Persie, he would have scored that!"
I literally had the exact conversation with my dad a few weeks back. Must be an age thing.In every Arsenal game I've seen this season opposition fans have sung that.
Or you've got the same dad. Better have a talk with him.
Fantastic performance. The finish was superb and his cross was the best I've seen this season. I thought some of his general play and close control was really classy.
I just love watching him play for United, it's a joy to watch.
I can't believe he's ours and whats worse is I can't believe there were people against the signing of van Persie!
We needed another world beater in our ranks and we've got a Robin that is determined to win championships and has a great attitude along with it!
