We don't need a striker really bad. Our strikers are isolated because our midfielders don't create, don't push forward, and don't press, Locatelli and McNuggets (sometimes) aside.
The team has no attacking impetus because we are static and our attacking patterns are haphazard. Yes, we do create sometimes and we have shots on goal, but most of those shots aren't actually threatening, because they don't come about as a result of team play, but rather individual moments.
