Unless I missed summat when I went to the toilet, I don't think Falcao has touched the ball in this first half, Athletico have been truly awful tbf.

He is one of those strikers who, if you give him no service, can be invisible. As opposed to the ones who will try and make their own chances (like Suarez and Aguero). Give him the right service and there's none better at converting a chance really... which is why I've had a few doubts about him in our current system, he'd quickly go missing in those games where we politely try and pass our way through a 10 man wall.

How rubbish have Athletic become this season? 4-0 down at home to Espanyol, the stadium near enough completely empty now, and the team looking as unmotivated as we did yesterday. Bielsa is going to get the sack soon, no doubt. Muniain is also a shadow of the player he was last year (he went off injured today) and may need a new start.

sat here myself watching it, thought fuck me is this the team who annihilated united in the EL last year?

That period of the season when they battered the rags, was their peak. At that time they were also in contention for a Champions League place. I think they put so much effort into the Europa, it affected their domestic season. Bielsa seems to have lost the dressing room, he's quite an abrasive character.

This is why I'd prefer Cavani over Falcao, I think Cavani would suit us better to the way we play.

If Falcao went to Chelsea on the other hand he'd bang them in for fun as he'd suit their system, they could be a real danger next season.

I watched the Atletico game and was quite disappointed to be honest, their away form is the complete opposite of their home form.

I love watching Falcao - although he did have a very quiet game tonight - the problem for me though is that everytime I imagine him playing for City I just don't see it working, he is far too similar to Agüero in my opinion.

If anything Agüero will become the player Falcao is now if not better when he reaches his age, we forget Agüero is not even in his peak yet, Falcao is.

Tbf though, it's not impossible that when Aguero does reach his peak, that'll he'll be playing in all white.

That free kick by Messi........................................

Messi is playing with cheat codes. He is just too fucking good. 301 goals for Barca and his 37th of the season and we're only in February!!

Keeper should have saved that

If he carries on like this he will soon be mentioned in the same breathe as Gareth Bale.
