Although highlights (even extended ones) are not the best way to form a valid judgenent, from the bits of the game I saw last night and this morning that is the best Dan has played in a very long while. Against West Ham his energy levels were amazing and his passing, especially the one touch stuff, and intercepting was first class too. I had been concerned that we nay never see him at these levels again but it was the best I have seen him since he left Everton.
