Was he the best CM in the Premier League for the second half of last season?
Fabregas went badly off the boil. Touré is only ever on it half the time anyway. We saw Herrera outplay the midfields of Spurs, Liverpool, City and Chelsea one after another. Even when we lost our way a bit in the last few matches his form stayed good - it was elsewhere on the pitch (losing Carrick again, mainly) that we suffered.
Possibly someone at Arsenal like Cazorla might have a shout, but other than that it was Ander, for me.
