Two magicians! (That’s the answer to the previous question).

It’s pretty well established that Mesut Ozil is a damn magician. Some things he does are just amazing and probably shouldn’t be physically possible. But he does it. And it works. And it’s fun to see.

But the only thing that could make having one magician better is having two magicians. Santi Cazorla is a magician too and while we shouldn’t expect him back during the Christmas period, he will be back in 2017 when the running will be (hopefully) getting tighter.

The Spaniard has been sorely missed as the midfield linkup just hasn’t been there. With Ramsey out, there isn’t even really an option to try to paper over the cracks.

All we can do in this regard is wish for a healthy and quick recovery from the aging Spaniard. And while we are at it, let’s hope that he doesn’t get hurt again. And while we are on that note, let’s zip ahead to No. 2.
