I've been quite impressed unlike some others on here.
His work rate and commitment have been top notch and he has a few assists and a couple of goals.
People may say that's not enough, but these people need to look at the bigger picture.
Yes he has missed a few games, but on a number of occasions this season our build up play and creativity has been digshiiite.
A player like falcao will score for fun given the right supply.
Maybe it's not the player that's failing, but more the tactics and set up being used.
Falcao

It will be a tricky decision in the summer

Falcoa is a grotesque arrsehole.

he didnt get the supply in the 2nd half
would be more critical and disappointed with van persie today.

Simply depends on how much good form Falcao can show for the rest of the season. It really is up to him, assuming he gets game time, to make the decision very easy for LVG. What I would say is that Falcao seems to be integrating well with the squad and is working hard, which is all in his favour - the money is crazy, but the money was always going to be crazy for a player like him.

although our finishing cost us today in the first half the problem was we never continued to create to the same extent in the 2nd half and carrick and rooney drifted in and out of the game which impacted on the falcao and van persie. LVG put it down to fatigue which impacted on carrick in particular

You keep kidding yourselves.
He's nothing but a Heskey wannabe.

Sounds like the OP is describing Welbeck.

Funnily enough, very true.
I like Falcao as a player but to suggest even for a moment that he is a difference maker or worth the astronomical outlay is just silly.
Anything more than 20m and we would have been robbed! Summer will be interesting.

Needs more games and more time.

This is pretty much all there is to say imo.
I am still firmly on the fence because we have seen glimpses of real quality as well as some poor form. That isn't entirely unexpected under the circumstances.
Falcao has a lot to prove before we can consider signing him but I think he has the potential to come good. We need to get our squad fully fit and start playing with sensible, stable formations. If we can do that then I think we will create a lot more chances and our strikers will thrive. I just hope all this happens before it is too late for Falcao otherwise we may lose a quality player who never really had the right environment in which to regain his form and show his worth.
