£42 Million For Falcao? Gayle's Scored More Than Twice As Many Goals!

Moving onto QPR’s game against United, must admit first half nearly had me sleeping. Both teams struggled to string a few passes together, but credit to the R’s as they pressured United very well indeed and forcing them to make mistakes. 

Di Maria looked lost for the majority of the first half but played better towards the end, when he actually ran at the Hoops defenders. Falcao did well and looked lively, still has to prove himself as a goal scorer in my opinion to keep him in the side. Fair enough he’s a hard worker but don’t think United paid the fees that they have just for that so the goals need to start flowing otherwise he will be shown the door. 

A different United turned out in the second half performance wise, started to pass comfortably, with Di Maria playing better providing great passes and an unlucky day for Falcao not to get on the score sheet with the amount of chances he had and not forgetting Robert Greens performance a day before his 35^th birthday. Great build up for the goal with good passing and Fellaini’s brilliant finish matched it. QPR showed grit during the whole game and had various opportunities to score the equaliser but the young James Wilson put the game to rest by scoring in the last minutes of the game with a calm composed finish.

Great game to have watched was the Burnley and Palace fixture. Danny Ings continuing to score and added to his tally for the season with his 7th goal. Burnley began the game very well and had the best first half they could ever dream of. 

Yaya Sanago started or Palace, on loan from arsenal. Gayle was the man of the match for me with a great performance netting his 10th goal of the campaign and scoring his 3rd brace since he joined the premier league side back in 2013. He should be grateful for Pardew giving him starts which he didn’t get when Neil Warnock was in charge. 

The result gave Pardew his 3rd consecutive win coming back from 2-0 down. And have to mention the terrible weather condition they match was played in, windy, cold, snowy and rain but a great 3-2 finish to the game.
