🇨🇴 Radamel Falcao

[Toli 977]

Fuck I absolutely despise this cunt. And Im serious. Before I knew the hope of his redemption was hopeless, but the way he plays now...

Getting paid and getting chances to do what? Whacking off? Because thats all he does on the pitch. His ''running'', more like jogging and walking as if he is on a fucking holidays.

Can he even sprint? Or will that damage his fancy haircut?

FFS show some passion, will to play. Instead he just walks around like some invalid. Eusebio who is now 70 would probably show more determination on the pitch.

Torres was at least decent off the ball, but this guy. Absolute shit. But the blame shouldnt go just on him, but to Mou too. What the hell was he thinking to bring Falcao after he saw how shit he was at United; I dunno.

Mou at times thinks he is god and can bring jesus back from the dead. Sometimes egoism and confidence is good, sometimes not. seems like at this topic, it wasnt good at all...

Even though we shouldnt judge Falcaos performance upon todays game. came on when we werent really attacking at all and our players tired.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

we're never going to be without a plagued striker, are we?!

Shevenchenko, Torres, Falcao. Who's next?! Costa, Remy and Bamford would've been ideal, though I'm glad we loaned out Bamford because he'll have more chance playing for Palace than he will here. Solanke is young, but if he's third choice would it really matter?

I hope Loiic doesn't get frustrated and I hope he bides his time, because on current form he'll be 2nd choice in no time!

Oh jeez...

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Oh jeez...

If I got on that pitch for last 10minutes I would be running my ass off. And what he does? Jogging. Thats all he does. Instead he would be pressing opponents, because he is shit in positioning and shoting, but nah he doesnt care.

There was moment. Hazard was running down the left side and only player in that attack was Falcao. What did he do? He jogged to Hazard, one meter apart and just stood there. Hazard didnt pass to him because there were 4 defenders around him and he would lose the ball (even Hazard then lost the ball...) But my point is why the fuck did he ran 1m near Hazard? Running inside the penalty area to drag some defenders and release Hazard or run further so that Hazard could make through pass. Or running into penalty area so that Hazard could cross to him. But no. He just jogged nearly into Hazard and stood like a fucking idiot. You dont need to start the game do show that.

I have seen him for United. For Colombia. And he was shit. Can hold the ball to some extent but he never gets in dangerous position, he doesnt create for others, he forgot how to shoot. He forgot how to positon himself. Most of all, he doesnt give a fuck. He bulked up, got fancy hairscut, and can say he plays for Chelsea. Sprint and try hard when given the chance? Nah, fuck that he aint got time for dat.

LOL, did anyone seriously think he was going to be any different. One of the most pointless transfers we've made in years.

It's too early to judge, he hasn't started a single game for Chelsea.

In the first three games(Arse, Swa and City) our strikers had absolutely no chance. Last week against WBA we didn't want to score at all after he was introduced, we were going for survival. COC and Champions League is starting in September, he'll get a few minutes for sure.

Btw, these full-name-thread-names are still ridiculous....

I don't think Bamford will get that many chances at Palace (especially if they end up signing Austin from QPR)

But but it is just a loan

Why would he start tho? From what he shown, he doesnt deserve to start for a long time. Even him playing ahead of Remy is absolute bullshit. Remy is twice the player and Mou is kinda twat for playing Falcao ahead just because he is big name and Mou wants to prove that he was right.

BUT he has Falcao written on his back, he doesnt need to show it on pitch to get more game time. If only Mou was as nice to our youth players who actualy deserve it and want to prove themselves in Chelsea.

[iseah100 5,612]

Dopest name by far.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Im at a loss as to how (why) peeps try to say the exact same thing in the same thread about the same lad in 20 different ways.

We all knew he wasn't going to hit the ground running. It was going to take awhile for him to get into how Mou operates and how the team works.

Id rather we had bought another TOP striker to really push for top spot but we got what we got. Hes shown a bit of promise IMHO so I'm not joining the Booo sheep.

We got to give new players a bit of time no matter who they are.

I can just see now what would have been said about Pedro if he hadn't scored.

[BlueStorm1003 539]

I´m colombian, yet I criticize this guy a lot.

I seriously can´t imagine why would we bring in such a striker, that has shown he is not in the level he used to be, and play him ahead of remy. I hope we will just let this season-long loan go through and let him go back to monaco. It´s obvious he no longer has the drive that once had him in the top of his career, and I can´t see him going back to where he was.

I can see something worse that torres here. FFS, Torres had the drive to get back on his prime, and knew how to shoot, Falcao seems to love falling to the ground each time he tries shooting. Not good lads, not good.

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Is it just me who feels like watching Falcao play now a days, is like watching an injured animal try and run? Is Mourinho perhaps trying too hard to prove he's a top manager by trying to revive Falcao's career when he could have gone for another player whilst trying to retain the PL title? Sure he's 3 games into his Chelsea career but we seen at United last year too nothing was right for him either.

[Roquila 1,335]

Even Torres was better than him.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Yeah Falcao is too slow now, doesn't even bother to move either. Manutd fans were right.

His name is zarate? Never knew that..

[BlueStorm1003 539]

I imagine he will start against walsall (Not sure if i spelled it right). Might be his only chance to show what quality might be there in his legs, if he still has some. If he starts and disappoints, I think Remy as our second striker should be guaranteed.

What am i saying? Mou will probably still play him ahead of remy.

If he doesn't have the legs for Walsall, he should just quit.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

I think you guys are too harsh on him. How many minutes did Costa take to score his first this season? Falcao has played far less minutes and most of them were in dire moments. I would still hold my own judgement on him until the end of the season.

[Stats 7,142]

The fact that Mourinho brought on Falcao for Costa at that point in the game against WBA proves to me that his rep or Mourinho's aim of trying to prove a point actually took priority over the needs for a team. Is Falcao known for his pressing? No. Is he known for his pace? No. Having a pacey striker like Remy to replace Costa at that point of the game would have been better than bringing on Falcao. He is a better presser, would have been better for the counter than Falcao. That sub did not really make much sense but thankfully we held out for the win.

I was content for him to come here as 3rd choice striker but when I see him being favoured over Remy, it just pisses me off. As soon as I saw Falcao coming, I knew it was more hope than reality that he would be behind Remy in the pecking order. But, judging by the minutes he is definitely favoured and there is no merit at all as to how Falcao has even earned this. Pisses me of really.

No doubt that Falcao will probably come on against Palace too at the expense of Remy. Remy must really be thinking what did I do to deserve this.

That is pretty damn accurate. I feel the same, and not only for Chelsea, but for Colombia as well. I still wonder why he is our national team´s first choice striker.

And, as you said, it seems to be the name only. People around here consider him a god, and when someone actually talks some sense saying he is past his time, the only thing you can expect to get are insults and "you are not grateful, and have forgotten what he has done".

I have not forgotten what he has done. Neither for the national team nor the clubs he has played in. I still remember that trashing he gave us at the UEFA supercup, but that doesn´t mean he should be taking Remy´s chances out of the blue as if he had played as much as him and done what he has done to get his chances. He has to win his place through hard work and good performances, not relying on his past and walking on the pitch as if he were guaranteed 2nd choice. It just pisses me off.

Chelsea means putting balls and working hard, not this crap.

Valid opinion, but i honestly think that his time at United is enough to know what we were going in for when we signed him. It´s true that he hasn´t played that much in each match, but that would mean that he should be running as much as he could in those 10 or so minutes. Instead, he walks and doesn´t move as much as he should.
