Yup. Far better than Leao but that’s not saying much. Oddly enough, if Leao doesn’t take that perfect in swinging cross from the wide player it’s likely a tap in and CP is on the scoresheet. Leao could have headed it too, but trying with his inside left foot? Yikes
I wouldn't say really good... I don't think he has played really good in a while. But he created some danger on the dribble and his in-swinging cross to the back post would have absolutely been a sitter if Leao didn't ruin the play. It certainly feels like he is snake-bit right now.... Like he just needs the ball to bounce his way a couple of times so he can get out of his own head. But while he is struggling to get on the scoresheet he is absolutely NOT putting in the effort on D. Some of it can be explained by his manager's bull-headed notion to run a 3-5-2 when they don't have the horses to run it. It's my favorite formation and even I know that it isn't working with this group. Oddly enough, I think it would work better with CP or Leao paired with Fullkrug up top. Better yet, why not run Leao and Fullkrug up top with CP at the 10 at the top of a M triangle w/ Modric and Rabiot? But when both strikers can't hold the ball up or win aerial duels it becomes so one dimensional.
Glad I skipped the match today, and have contemplated doing the same for the remainder of the season. Allegri, Milan, and CP are virtually unwatchable at this point. It’s painful. Even the beauty of watching a player like Modric cannot salvage the current eye sore of these games.

Milan should make the Champions League. Juventus is coming on strong but I doubt either Como or Roma will take the 4th spot.
Pulisic played reasonably in spite of his poor recent form … he had some good runs Leao’ should have allowed that tap in but frankly at this point I fault Allegri for his formation and inability to get Leao in the right place … Putting Fullkrug up top and Leao’ on the left and CP on the right with Modric pulling the strings might make more sense … or put Pulisic behind Fullkrug with Nkunku on the right … Allegri needs to adjust .. Leao’ is not a target forward and if he goes best on the left but will not play D then they have to trade him … he is a luxury …
Funny how Okafor was not good enough for Milan, but he just scored 2 goals in a win for Leeds away at Old Trafford. Got to be fair tho, aside from a couple nice goals, he did look out of sorts for Milan when I watched him play there.
I thought he was pretty good/OK at ACM. But I guess there could have been financial considerations, like ACM couldn't pay what Okafor could get on the market.
Anyone can score in the Dutch league. If you're a forward looking for a big European contract, go to the Netherlands for a few years.
