It is thanks to the Spanish striker’s goals this season that Michael Laudrup’s side have been able to avoid the dreaded second season syndrome after the 11th placed finish they achieved in the top flight last season under Brendan Rodgers. At £2 million Michu was a bargain following a successful season in La Liga where he scored 15 goals for Rayo Vallecano. With 6 in 9 already this season, there is no reason to suggest that he can’t go on to beat last season’s tally.
