As far back as Palace away teams were already doubling up on him. Pardew was very complimentary to him saying he is the only one worth worrying about. Neutralise him and we are limpMaybe I'm being a bit harsh because I don't want to excuse some of his not so good performances and low productivity only with Rooney, Mata and the other being crap for most of the season. He has been fantastic in the first month or so and had some brilliant games since then as well. Maybe LVG has relied too much on him and failed to give him some rest, apart from changing his position on the pitch. I'm afraid he won't be fresh enough till the end of the season. The most difficult games are ahead.
