"After drawing 2-2 with newly promoted Pisa, AC Milan are once again looking at themselves in the mirror. However, Rafael Leao is a positive. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report, the penalty awarded for De Winter's outstretched arm and the Nerazzurri's second goal in a move where a foul on Gabbia remains suspected brings the goals conceded tally to six, four against teams just returning to the top flight."
"The problem is hitting the target: Christian Pulisic did it with extraordinary ease - six goals in eight games across league and the cup. While Leao has begun to find the target even from outside the area, the problem remains Gimenez and Nkunku."
"In 80% of Serie A matches, Allegri has had to do without half of his starting attack: Leao missed the first four games due to injury, came on a couple of times to regain his rhythm, and started the last two. Pulisic was sidelined after an injury on international duty, hurting the coach and the club, which disapproved of the Captain America's management. He missed Fiorentina and Pisa, and will also miss Atalanta, and who knows what happens next."
AC Milan drew 2-2 with newly promoted Pisa, with a penalty and a contentious second goal bringing goals conceded to six, four vs promoted teams. The defence under Allegri offers increased solidity compared with the past, but the attack struggles to convert chances. Christian Pulisic has excelled with six goals in eight games, and Rafael Leao is returning to scoring form, including from distance. Santi Gimenez and Nkunku have not delivered goals. Injuries have forced frequent absences among starters: Leao missed early games and Pulisic was sidelined after international duty and will miss Atalanta.
