So Mousa has come back into form in the last few matches, which is great to see as I think he's our best central midfielder in terms of ability.
We often complain about how he should offer more to the team given his ability. However, consider his start to the season up until the Man Utd match. He's been relatively fit (or been able to feature in most matches) and his performances have been indifferent. In the last few matches he's excelled and taken the reponsibility we crave to see him take and he's had injuries to his hip. We know he has a long term problem with his hip, so I personally think that there's a possibility that the reason for Mousa's sometimes lower standard performances are merely him trying to stay fit.
In these last few matches where the performance itself was crucial he's been fantastic, yet been injured, missing the Fulham match and coming off limping at Sunderland. Could it be that we're cursed again and we have another potentially top class player suffering from injuries preventing him from being at his best?
