Radamel Falcao

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

indeed.

hi Henrique. in that post i was talking about the person editing the first team page ' https://www.chelseafc.com/teams/first-team.html ' on chelseafc.com was messing up and changing and editing the links for players and falcao and begovic are removed from the strikers and goalkeepers list of names.

i can't stand how badly and slow and lazy the admins at chelseafc.com are so shit at running the CFC website.

It's crazy this thread as @Barbara has alluded to.

Falcao - being judged on last season = finished

Let's compare that to Harry Kane...

Last season great, this season no goal in 9 games...

I did comment at the time he might be a one season wonder - but I was shot down.

Strikers thrive on Confidence - end of story - build a strikers confidence and they can score from any chance it seems - a striker with low confidence would sky it from 2 yards

Well done to him for taking his chance and let's hope it continues - for Chelsea's sake...

this picture we have for his thread is a travesty, lol, every time I see it I have to double check the name. I'm sure we can find a better one... he doesn't even have that haircut anymore and yeah, I'm nitpicking

The picture sums up his career for the past year. I'm sure he'll get a nice one if/once he hits some form for us.

Falcao is much older than Kane - it is expected of kane to be inconsistent at this stage of his career. He is still a good player even when not scoring.

Strikers need confidence, which is indeed true. However, they also need technique and legs... especially at this level. Without both they will not find the space and won't have time/competence to apply the finish. And won't build confidence.

Torres had technique, but no legs. There was no way for him to build confidence as his streaks of good form were short-lived.

The question mark concerning Falcao is his fitness. Another serious injury or a sequence of minor muscle injuries could be the end of his career at this level.

Knees are never the same after serious injuries - from a players perspective it's usually worse than breaking a bone.

At hist best, Falcao is better than Costa, so it does make sense for the club to hope for the best here.

He is still incredible at playing with head, that goal was superb.

There's data about him scoring more than 50% goals with his head in career. It's simple, give him good ball/cross - he will (probably) convert it. Don't give him good ball/cross - you will have man less on the pitch. Classic number 9.

[Henrique 9,133]

UK press keep saying Falcao failed to make any impact, when he never started a single game, and usually play for 15 minutes when Mourinho press his "i dont know what to do" button.

He got as much goal as Costa, who is loved by british press for being a "street fighter".

His pass during the counter attack vs everton was superb...shame that ivanovic fucked it up

Costa fucked it up with poor ball control. According to certain members here, Ivanovic is responsible for WWII aswell.

ivanovic passed the ball very late...anyway agree that costa was also to be blamed

at least we won WW2

[Special Juan 27,424]

Him or Remy need to be given the nod ahead of Diego for tomorrow. And you cannot full judge this lad on the cameos he's played so far. I'm looking forward to seeing a team sheet with either his name on it or Loic's

Well Ivanovic made the wrong decision to pass to Costa in the first place. It was very poor from Ivanovic.

Ivanovic has been the poorest performers in the team, of course he'll get slack for that. Most of our goals conceded this season - he's played a huge part in them.

[Henrique 9,133]

He is starting midweek game, but its never good to be in that position. CF who are usually asked to play in that kind of game usually play for a weaker team that lacks chemistry, so the chances of scoring are not as big as it seems. But afer the match the news are preditcable "Falcao woeful form continues, as the striker was unable to score against Walsall."

[the wes 7,212]

Time for falcao to shine the next three games

[iseah100 5,612]

"Shine". Let's go Remy.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

He's gotta at somepoint...hope so anyway!

[LondonsFinest 692]

People would have went mental, but he didn't burry his chances. Allas, he has 10x the link - up play Costa has, and so does Remy. Finds spaces, calm on the ball, has good passing ability. I confirmed this ever since pre-season, and imo he isn't that bad as people make it out. People rated Torres for making a few runs and taking a few balls from the opposition. Let's nto be too harsh on the lad.
