Because when you're playing Mo, he likes to play high and wide, but if you're playing two up front, that one can't stay out there, so he needs to really tuck in. I think we haven't seen partnerships for a long time, since probably the 2010s, probably 10 or 15 years ago proper strikers playing together.
