clearly a good player.
and as you say Auba arrival seems to improved his playing.
They work together quite well. they will score loads next season.
That is my hope. As I say, the one +ve.

I'd forgotten what it was like having a proper strike partnership and I've missed it. If they're both scoring with roughly the same regularity, you're happy as long as one of them has scored. Where with just one striker, a barren spell of 3-4 games gets you worried.

If there was some magic Gilberto to buy somewhere, I'd like us to use our 2006 CL 4-1-4-1 formation.

Auba-Ozil-Rambo-Mhikky behind Laca.

That could be a sort of Pires-Cesc-Hleb-Freddie.

Mhikky's got much better stats than Alexis since they swapped and Rambo's got about 3 in 4 for goals and assists combined.

But we need a proper, holding DM for it to work. {And 2 CHs and a goalie.}
