Thought his late season form was superb, to my eyes his workrate went up and he put himself about a lot more.
That he's not included I think is a combination of others being just a bit more sonsistent, and he was a bit ptachy earlier in the seaon.
The man is a game winner.
I agree, his performances from Christmas onward were far better than his early season games, he was almost a box to box player and looked far better than he did in August.
He was actually going into tackles and breaking with the ball which is not normally his game.
When hes in the final 3rd with the ball at his feet I doubt there is a better creative midfielder outside of the Championship.
