I don't care about his stats, he played a good game in both legs against us, he also did very well in the game that Chelsea lost to United 3-2 in the league, with a little help by the refs. He also scored a wonder goal against United in Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

Its his first season in a completely new league, despite that he was one of Chelsea's best players. What more did you expect of him. I think you expected too much of him, because he was an unknown to you, you probably expected him to turn in Messi like performances. For me, he just needs to work on his consistency, but all in all, it was a very good first season for him.
Why do you think he was nominated for player of the year?

This is a video of the game against United in the league which they lost 3-2 in Old Trafford, he linked up very well with Mata and caused them trouble all game long.
