He has looked AWFUL recently. He misses passes and over runs things, and throws himself about trying to recover his mistakes. What the fuck is wrong with him.

You can't fluke that level of performance. Seems like he's a player who plays the game in his mind and needs to have sky high confidence to play his best. When those confidence levels drop his game falls off a cliff.
Increasingly looking like a fluke :(
Yep. Fortunately there wasn't a world class midfielder begging to come back to arsenal to replace him, otherwise I'd be really miffed.
He was on a hot streak, happens to many players. He is most certainly a good player though, just needs to find some consistency and a proper role in this team. Sometimes he plays from deep, other times he goes looking for glory. Fucks with the system.
He wasn't "world class" after 6 months and he isn't shit after a drop off.
Everything he did worked for him over a prolonged period of time. To be fair to him, he fed on that. But even during his purple patch, people pointed out that the same problems he faced before and now were creeping into his game.
I was not one of those prognosticators but I'm coming round to their point of view.
Just no one to give him basic tactical game instructions. Keep it simple, no fancy stuff...keep the shape and work hard defensively!
I knew we'd be in trouble once Ramsey/Wilshere came back into the team.
The English disease.
