Someone said he broke up play 9 times, more than anyone else. Also let's not over look some of those forward passes he makes.
Very very good players.
4 tackles (the second most, behind Zab's frankly mental 10(!)) and 5 interceptions (the most on the pitch). In addition to that he played 3 key passes (joint highest, with Nasri). Pretty impressive.
Kinda pisses on the argument that Nidge was a better player, I loved him and wish him all the best but he could only defend and didn't offer much offensively - making him redundant for 75% of the PL teams who just parked the bus.
Fernandinhio offers same defensive ability with far greater offensive capabilities.
