Within the space of a couple weeks, the Treble has disappeared - just at any given time when van Persie has stopped scoring Jamie McDonald/Getty Tear up your voting slips. Thereas a fresh sheriff in town. 3 months ago, it appeared to be Robin van Persie would be the clear favorite to be voted Player of the Summer Season. His goals have powered Manchester United towards the Premier League title and van Persie was also dreaming of the Double in the build-up for their FA Cup quarter final replay at Chelsea. But three overlooks later, United were from the Cup and van Persieas objectives have dried out, with Tottenhamas Gareth Bale looking the more apparent favorite to get the end-of-season gongs. In fact, on current form, Luis Suarez seems an improved choice than RvP. That may seem harsh on a his A24m price tag has been fully justified by player whose goals this season. But back in January, United were going out of the FA Cup at West Ham. The bench was stepped off by van Persie, won a gasp equaliser and the replay was won by United. That has been the Dutchman at his best. He's now come to an end of steam. Van Persie has gone nine activities with no target for United and - overlooking three in two for the Dutch national team - he has managed just one single in his last 12. Van Persie purpose! Or was it? His chance at Sunderland was deflected off Titus Bramble Stu Forster Even the questionable goals panel will probably conspire against him after Sunderland on Saturday and his combination photo was presented with being an own goal. The bookies have considered it as a Titus Bramble own goal. The boil have been gone off by van Persie at the business end of the growing season. United will still walk the name but Doubles and Trebles are what earns a group the right to be called good. Within the area of a couple weeks, the Treble has disappeared - just at a time when van Persie has stopped rating. His heroics earlier in the growing season may have left him tired and jaded. But heas stayed fit - he only canat score. It was a familiar tale at Stamford Bridge. The bench was come off by van Persie as United were pursuing an equaliser to cancel out Demba Baas wonder strike to keep themselves in the Cup. There were two half possibilities, one from an Valencia cross and another deep into stoppage time from Ashley Youngas cross. Both went begging. Nonetheless it was one other lost chance which really was a gift. Patrice Evraas low cross found van Persie unmarked, the Dutchman leaned back and fired terribly over the bar with the sort of opportunity he was burying a couple of months before. RvP leaves the message having didn't score past Petr Cech Philadelphia United were pulling off comebacks and fight backs early in the day in the summer season. Van Persie was the never-say-die hero. Now even Sir Alex Ferguson admits that vehicle Persie needs to have obtained - but the title race will be finished by insists United in style. Ferguson said: aRobin had the opportunity from the header, several headers actually. One he should really have obtained, but he put it within the bar, but because we are a lot better than that it was discouraging. We didnat perform as well as we must have done in the second half.a However for van Persie, Unitedas purpose machine in addition has stopped firing in the second half of the season.
