He was good from Feb-Mar(?) onwards in LvG's first season. He fecked up in the Arsenal FA cup game in March by playing the attacker onside for the goal, but aside from that, he was having a good game. Obviously, its the major feck ups that stick in the memory. Then he, Mata and Herrera had that right side triumvirate and he excelled.Great to see him receiving some well deserved praise. He has been immense under Mourinho. I've always been a fan of his, but I did start to worry that he was on a steep decline under LVG, first season I believe, but he has turned it around and then some. He looks faster and fitter than ever before, and his crossing is massively improved. I wonder if the smash it into the opponents legs may have been instructions. His crosses of late have been quite good; he could easily have had two-three assists yesterday. The one for Martial was a 100% chance wasted by Martial.
Darmian had a run of games at the start of LvG's second season which lasted a few weeks until Valencia won the the RB spot back. He got injured and was out for a while but was very good when he got back into the side, and I don't remember him loosing his place. Essentially, he was already playing well at RB under LvG and he's stepped it up again under Jose.
