Rambo's half-season of brilliance came when he had Ozil ahead of him and a passer, Arteta, behind him. He never produced it when he had a non-passing Coq behind him, and this Xhaka chap's meant to be a bit of a passer.

Santi's a joy to watch in CM, but he doesn't score from there as he did when he was the no.10 or as Rambo did that great half-season.

In his first season, when Santi had to play out wide, his goals to game ratio there was similar to playing no.10

We need more goals. Could switching those two around help achieve this?

Obv I know it's not as simple as that. Rambo missed chances in the box last season that he was finishing when he was on that great run.

But Alexis and Santi on the flanks would be what AW likes, with one winger and one MF. cf Overmars and Parlour, or Bobby and Freddie.

Obv I would like a proper goal-scoring RW who works hard like Alexis does on the other side. But if we don't get one, or have an injury, could it work switching those two around?

btw, it was good work on the left for Akpom's winner last night. The commentary and reports don't mention who held it up and then passed to Nacho. Was it Willock? Whoever it was, the lad done well, there.
