"With Milan this season, there is no performing striker. Christopher Nkunku - even if he is a debatable striker - is not hitting the levels required, nor is Santiago Gimenez, whose injury has not taken much from the Rossoneri. Instead, the goals have come from Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic. The unfortunate reality is that they have not been able to play together much."
"When Massimiliano Allegri moved to a two-striker formation, it seemed that Pulisic and the Portuguese were going to line up together. However, they have only been able to do so for 135 minutes, as Gazzetta dello Sport writes. In 17 games, they have only started together twice, yet the Diavolo sit at the top of the pack. Together, they have not managed to create an impact, with no goals when they both started. Yet, they both sit at the top of the Milan scoring charts."
AC Milan currently lacks a performing traditional striker. Christopher Nkunku is not reaching expected levels and Santiago Gimenez remains limited by injury. Goals have instead come from Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, who occupy the top scoring positions for the club. Leao and Pulisic have only started together twice in 17 games and shared just 135 minutes on the pitch, producing no goals when both started. Massimiliano Allegri shifted to a two-striker formation hoping the pair can coexist more often. A larger sample of starts together is needed to assess their combined potential fully.
