We need to get this guy fit. He is a monster in front of goal.
To some extent this is true, but it's not like Falcao is particularly slow, and RVP has looked sharp with his runs, both can make insanely smart runs without needing too much pace. They seemed to gel nicely the few times they played together, and if opponents are pressing hard against us, our midfield plays an important role in dealing with that too. It's not just the strikers.Agree when Falcao and RVP play together teams can easily squeeze the play because neither has any pace and we don’t play with wingers. Doesn’t work as a partnership for me and I hope we don’t go back to trying to play the two of them together, if Di maria is fit I would start him in place of Wilson but if he isn’t I think Wilson should remain in the team.
Falcao can start against Stoke or Spurs and Yeovil and then can go from there, he is just a bit unfortunate that as soon as he got himself fit RVP started scoring.
I'm keen for Wilson to do well, but to be honest, you could forget he was on the pitch against Liverpool and he looked too lightweight against Stoke. Pace isn't something that by its very presence is worth having. It only matters if the player can use it to do something. Wilson's pace counted for not very much in his last two games because he couldn't do anything with it. I still think that Falco offers more right now than Wilson, even if he is slower.Agree when Falcao and RVP play together teams can easily squeeze the play because neither has any pace and we don’t play with wingers.

Oh I know he's class. Though what I would say is that he's facing the classic step up a lot of kids have. He seemed really fast and strong in the youth set up compared to everyone else and he used that to his advantage. But he's not able to bring that to the senior game yet because he no longer has the physical advantage he used to over the kids. Just the opposite, everyone's bigger than him.You're totally right but just remember, he's only 18-19 years of age. Mostly its all about experience, Ive seen what Wilson can do in the reserves. Very talented lad, a defenders nightmare in terms of pace and acceleration, has that no.9 poacher instinct and can score some blinders outside of the box aswell, a different kind of striker that is useful. He just needs experience on his back which LVG is giving him, once he'll get more experience he'll just get better and better and he'll be learning from the likes of Falcao & RVP aswell. You're right though, for now Falcao is the man that should get in front of Wilson for the picking once LVG has put his seal of approval for full fitness.
He hasn't been poor though.If he's playing as poorly in training, as he has in his last few cameo's, its really no wonder he's not starting.
If he impresses, and most importantly is fit, he'll play. Its not rocket science.
How much pace does Wilson really have? Haven't seen him for the reserves so can't give an opinion. Remember him running through City the other day but apart from that i can't remember us using his speed that much.Wilsons pace means teams can't squeeze us so easily and to be honest Falcao's miss was not that bad he hit the target and it got blocked!
I remember him chasing down Sterling at full speed, he closed him down. Wilson is reallyyy fast.How much pace does Wilson really have? Haven't seen him for the reserves so can't give an opinion.

Looks as if he has skill as well. Will be good to have more of an Aguero type threat up front.I remember him chasing down Sterling at full speed, he closed him down. Wilson is reallyyy fast.

Looks quick. Thanks.
He has in his last few cameos. Ever since the West Brom game and his injury.He hasn't been poor though.
I think he's done most things well. Certainly in terms of hold up, link play and movement.He has in his last few cameos. Ever since the West Brom game and his injury.
I reckon he'll start tomorrow mind.
Was the camera misted up or something?Surprised nobody has mentioned Falcao´s first touch against 'Pool. Was an absolute gem. Took him all of 3 seconds to make far more of an impact than Wilson.
I agree that Falcao would offer more, but IMO you're being a tad harsh on Wilson. He worked his socks off against Liverpool but lets be honest, we're shit at getting the ball to our forwards. I can't remember the last time we bombarded the opposition's box with passes. Our goals are all coming from crosses or set pieces. Contrast this to Arsenal or even Chelsea who pass the ball at will in their opponents' 18 yard box. Welbeck is seeing a lot of the ball over at the Emirates. RVP has had to dig deeper these last few games to get on the ballI'm keen for Wilson to do well, but to be honest, you could forget he was on the pitch against Liverpool and he looked too lightweight against Stoke.

He wasn't poor vs Liverpool your being harsh tbhHe has in his last few cameos. Ever since the West Brom game and his injury.

People are looking for things and over analysing way to much. He's not been very good so far. A bit of decent holdup play isn't really that impressive for a player of his calibre.I think he's done most things well. Certainly in terms of hold up, link play and movement.
Liverpool was his worst cameo so far. His best being West Brom away.He wasn't poor vs Liverpool your being harsh tbh
Didn't say he has been very good. Just that he hasn't been poor in the short cameos he has had recently.People are looking for things and over analysing way to much. He's not been very good so far. A bit of decent holdup play isn't really that impressive for a player of his calibre.
Your being hyper critical.People are looking for things and over analysing way to much. He's not been very good so far. A bit of decent holdup play isn't really that impressive for a player of his calibre.
