Scousers though...it's truly off-putting hearing them speak. Like having your head banged against a blackboard whilst someone is scraping their nails down it.

To be honest, he should be benched. At this particular moment, he is in dreadful form for his standards. I'm being hard on him because I know how good he can be. He should be benched for now in order to find his motivation again I think, he still has some quality years left in him. He looks out of shape, and severely lacks motivation. Even Falcao looks better than him, and he is still adapting to the team.
Yep I had the opportunity to sleep with a underwear model but as soon as I heard the scouse accent I couldn't bring myself to go through with it. It actually destroyed any sexual thoughts I had about her.
Bullshit.
Unfortunately its not. I was doing some modelling at the time aswell so hung around with those sort of people. but she was very well known in the scene.
Crouch's missus?
Should start every game for us, wasnt worse than Mata or Falcao. Just because everybody likes Mata and we got a new shiny striker, they want him dropped. Like i said Mata and Falcao werent significantly better. I like his determination and tackles he showed in the last few games. Now that Rooney is missing, who should play instead of him. We dont even have any leaders, Robin isnt the best one out there, but at least he has experience as a captain. The only one i could imagine to replace him would be Januzaj in the Robben role, but that wont happen. So lets play RvP.

I'm not particularly bothered about the leadership/experience aspect of his game since I don't think we'd struggle without that, but I'll agree that I'm not too bothered about him continuing to play. He's been fairly average and gotten a couple of games. Decent return, and hopefully he'll improve. If he doesn't, and someone like Mata improves and earns his first team place, we can maybe switch it up then. If LVG wants to persist with two strikers and an attacking mid though, Rooney's best for in behind, which automatically puts Falcao/RVP up top.
Is Robin van Persie in terminal decline at Manchester United?

Just like United in 2006, Rob.
That's not why people want him dropped.
Watch him score against Chelsea and Manchester City.
Indeed.
I wouldn't mind him brushing up on the offside rule, doesn't seem to grasp the concept of it these days.
VP shows the fickle nature of fans perfectly.
2 years ago, people were madly overhyping him. This season, people are criminally underhyping him

well it is not the main argument, people still like them more than him and thats a fact. Falcao and Mata havent shown anything near their best for us, just like RvP this season too, but for some reason they never get as heavy and unfairly criticised as RvP. I take Falcao out of the equation for obvious reasons, but Mata wasnt better than RvP in his games this season. If we talk about RvP being invisible, not looking fit or arsed, Mata behaves the same on the pitch. But i guess as long as he has his blogs and is a likeable fella, it doesnt matter. If it is between RvP and Mata, 80 percent will choose Mata, more for symphaty reasons than performances.
I don't know about this. Most posters are giving a fair and balanced assessment of his form I think.
Really? Two years ago he was one of the best players in the world and very possibly the best all round #9 in world football. That isn't "overhype," his goal-scoring record, ingenuity and general hold-up play throughout a match was brilliant at both Arsenal and United, with few forwards coming close to matching that. Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski, perhaps.
I honestly think most people are calling it right. He's still a great goalscorer, but he is slowing down our football and I think we'd be a better, more dynamic team at his expense.
If so, I'm part of that 20%. But it's rather unfair to say that those preferring Mata are doing so for sympathy reasons and the others are just being rational. I wouldn't frame it like that. Robin clearly is not playing as good as he was in his first season. Number of factors. But if he can get to that level again, emphasis on the if, he should clearly be an automatic choice in the first 11.
"It is also possible that, at 31, Van Persie has lost some pace, though we will not know for sure until he attempts to break into a sprint."
ouch
West Brom 2:2 Man Utd
Might score a wonder goal and his fan club will laugh at those who have criticised at him but at the moment he is killing almost every move we make. Selfish and slow decision making. Great player but isn't playing great right now.
Is he finished, or is it still a knee jerk to assume so? he's showing no signs of recovering his form.
Besides not passing when he won the ball off Lescott, I thought he's been okay. Making better runs tonight than in past games.
Doesn't look like he's working, twice taken on the shot when the better option was the pass and didn't do well with the chance he did get.
Hard to criticise too much, because he's got no one around him, but he's not doing whats required.

Looks sharper but still lacking that half yard to get onto the final ball to score the goal. We really need him to be firing In the second half because we have been poor in the final third. Either that or drop him for Falcao.
Age has taken its toll on him
Not sure what people expect him to do tonight. Beat an 8 man defence on his own? His movement has been good he's got himself into scoring positions. If Mata and Januzaj could be arsed giving a little support he might fin it a little easier.
That's what frustrates me the most about him.
You're assuming he would use them?
Poor decision making in the first half on more than one occasion but I'm gonna wait til full time to comment on RvP and his seemingly undroppable status.
I'll say this much - he needs to do something in the 2nd half.

Like he did for Di Maria's effort? Yeah, unfortunately they aren't paying much attention.
Did he have a look at goal then? I assume not, otherwise he would have shot even if others were in a better position. Even if that lost shot went in, it would have been a silly decision because it was extremely unlikely to come off and there were two or three guys in the box waiting.
Wrong thread but feckmyarsefellaini
Once again we're playing with 10 men because RVP isn't bothered enough to try, pathetic really.
Woodward needs to sell him off behind Van Gaal's back or something for LVG's own good.
This so far. It's ridiculous.
I'm assuming you're laughing at his performance...
It's getting to the point where I wish we'd never bought him. Sure, he won us a league title, but he's been in the way of players who would've been better for us in the long term since the day he arrived, and he hasn't contributed anything these last 15 months.
Doesn't even deserve to start. I have no idea how he cons his way into completing 90 minutes every game.

I've said he's finished for ages but his fanboys won't have it. He offers absolutely nothing anymore, we might aswell be playing with no striker.
