Superb again, and it does look like he was simply struggling for a bit of fitness early in the season.
Glad to see him playing some of his better stuff again.
Good performance, happy he's back
People saying he was past it 
Superb today. RVP of '12-13

Sorry I ever doubted you Robin. You genius you.

Got his swagger back. Came for the ball, won tackles and was a threat.
RVP's interview
He admitted he got a touch for Mata's offside goal. "You can put that down as an assist!"
Brilliant performance from him today.

That is cheeky, he really wants to rub it in. Love it.
Last two performances have been 12-13 level. Brilliant stuff.
Football fans are hilarious. RVP was taking dogs abuse a week or two ago,
He has too much quality not to find his form again. LVG was right to keep playing him

I can hear the crickets from the posters who said he should be dropped and is past it.
Brilliant player and a must have in our starting 11.

Yeah, opinions have shifted here very quickly again. Same with a number of players since we started playing well. I was starting to doubt him myself admittedly, although I'm glad he's found his best form again.
Top stuff. Welcome back, Robin.
Oh how wrong was I about him.
He's getting back to his best, that moment at the end where he protected the ball wanting to go forward under clear foul (can't remeber who it was) serves as proof of him getting his strenght back.
Him being ready is having world class striker capable of making difference out of nothing, long may it countinue!

Yep classic kneejerk. Did take him ages to get going this season though. So glad he is back.
I love that he is back. Worked hard each game and there was some good runs that the midfielders didn't see as well. Great game.

He was brilliant. A happy Van Persie is a dangerous animal. You could see how much he loved it in that interview.
Second match in a row where his off the ball work has truly impressed me, RVP looks much fitter and more involved than ever.
The looks he gives DDG, looks like he wants to take him home.
Hey RvP, keep this up and I'll start baking that humble pie!

Will hold my hands up and say I was one of the doubters, I still feel my reaction had its cause at the time. But he has been excellent the last 2 games. Long may it continue
Van Persie is in his physical prime. His work rate was never this high and at times he looked rapid in the last three games especially when tracking back.
7 goals since the start of the season. 125% better return than Welbeck. For all those who wanted him sold instead of him.
In the last month he has been excellent most of the time.

Played well. I thought he dropped deeper at times in the second half to see more of the ball. Nice adjustment. If he's healthy-he starts.
He was developing a-lot of detractors on here which was laughable at times. Great player and clearly getting back to his best.
Glad he's back. That effort in the box, when he picked it out of the air
Class interview, team spirit just seems so much better now.
It's brilliant to watch him in this kind of form. Still thought he was a notch or two better against Southampton but he'll be massive for us this season.
Outstanding.
The volley and the goal.
Deserved stick earlier in the season. Bad miss today (side footer from 5 yards) but nice goal and better second half. Seems a nice lad which helps.

Pretty good prediction.

RVP of all people most likely knows what LVG would've done to them had they pulled a Leicester today.
With that being said, good to have RVP back for good.
Looks like he can comfortably play 90 minutes now whereas a couple of months ago he had to be replaced after 60-70 minutes.
