The Spaniard's current form has
drawn comparisions with Paul
Scholes from the Old Trafford faithful.
But Herrera's season-long stats show
that the 25-year-old may be more
well rounded than Scholes.
In fact, the stats show that Herrera is
one of the best all round midfielders
currently plying his trade in the
Premier League.
The graphic - provided by
www.oulala.com - shows Herrera
has more goals than Liverpool's
Philippe Coutinho and more assists
that Manchester City star David Silva.
The former Athletic Bilbao man also
has a better pass completion rate
than Jordan Henderson and more
successful passes than Chelsea's
Oscar.
He is a genius on and off the
pitch and I know how happy he
was after the game.
Juan Mata
Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey trails
Herrera in terms of shot accuracy
while Steven Gerrard can't match his
tackles won per game.
And to round things out Herrera also
won more duels than City's
Fernandinho and makes more
interceptions that Lucas Leiva.
The stats seem to support Juan
Mata's assessment of his teammate,
with the former Chelsea man hailing
Herrera as a genius yesterday.
Writing in his blog he said: "I think
this is the first time he scores twice
in a game and I'm very happy for
him! The truth is he deserves it.
"He is a genius on and off the pitch
and I know how happy he was after
the game."
