Fallcaover?
Shevchenko and Crespo come to mind. Atleast Falcao has the excuse of being injured before coming to EnglandIs Falcao one of the best examples in a long time that the EPL is a much harder environment to succeed in than other European leagues?
No doubt. His strength was a big asset abroad, not so much now. His injury issues also won't have helped.Is Falcao one of the best examples in a long time that the EPL is a much harder environment to succeed in than other European leagues?
No. He's an example that despite medical improvements, ACL injuries are damn hard to recover from.Is Falcao one of the best examples in a long time that the EPL is a much harder environment to succeed in than other European leagues?
Very true. Its a confidence thing related to his past injury, and he's become an ordinary player as a result.No. He's an example that despite medical improvements, ACL injuries are damn hard to recover from.
England isn't a harder league to succeed in.
That's what I thought as well. Clear off side, but that was an impeccable finish. He's not been worse than anyone else.What a finish.
Fair enough, but he's also had zero good performances this season, so there'll be less of a tendency to cut him some slack. Understandably in my opinion.He's been no worse than anyone else. Our play doesn't suit him, we need to supply him with chances and we're completely unable to do so. He's not the sort of striker to create his own chances, and he gets blamed for not being a certain type of player. He'll score goals in a setup more suited to him.
I don't care what he would do elsewhere, for us he has been absolutely useless and we are a worse team every time he is on the pitch, spends more time on the floor than any striker I have ever seen.He's been no worse than anyone else.

Yeah... If Falcao hadn't come on, we'd have played better, as we did in that first half, right?Despite this you just know he will play a part in the next 4 games. It's a total joke. I thought this manager was all about performances and not big names.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm just saying he's been very poor and he still manages to come on every single match to do nothing.Yeah... If Falcao hadn't come on, we'd have played better, as we did in that first half, right?
Well considering we were worse in the second half then we were in the first...Yeah... If Falcao hadn't come on, we'd have played better, as we did in that first half, right?
I'll break it down for you. Rooney, who's been poor upfront since the game against Spurs, was poor again today, so our manager decided to bring on our other fit striker to see if things would change.What the hell are you talking about?

We did feck all in the first half, hence the score line. It's all good and well keeping the ball, but we played into Everton's hands as we did Chelsea's, last week.Well considering we were worse in the second half then we were in the first...
Is Rooney meant to be any better in midfield? At least rooney can score and set up goals upfront even if he's playing poorI'll break it down for you.

We were no better with Falcao than we were without, no harm done.
One of the worst performances I've seen from a striker. Torresesque
We did even less in the second. In the first half we actually made 2 or 3 decent chances.We did feck all in the first half, hence the score line. It's all good and well keeping the ball, but we played into Everton's hands as we did Chelsea's, last week.
