You think he's had a good season? His stats are padded with penalties (7 of them). He's been anonymous in more than 50% of the games this season.

I think he's CLEARLY our best player (what with De Gea going to shit) and gets scapegoated beyond belief for not solo carrying games when the entire rest of the team are playing terribly. The amount of times he picks the ball up in midfield, turns someone, gets his head up and there's just nothing on is incredible. The amount of chances he creates that the forwards botch similarly so.

What do you want from a centre midfield player in those circumstances? Pick the ball up from the defence and dribble through the entire opposition team to score himself? Surround him with a functioning team - in particular give him some movement and quality in front of him - and he's amazing.
