Nevermind. Who cares. After all, people will ask me to shut up and be respectful to others.

I don't think going back to 1 striker will do us any good. Probably in some good matches, but not THE solution. Remember the game when we were trailing 2 goals behind after 1st half against Inter last season? There were numerous examples when MIlan played with 1 striker and did poorly. It's as much as Milan playing poorly with 2 strikers. I just don't think the problem, if there is one, lays over there.

1.Played as an attacking mid Pirlo is OK especially in Serie A, but against English/Spanish world clas midfields (barca, Depor) we need physical presence + class (which rules out Ambrosini, who imo is very average) in centre mid. And if he plays we need more pace and dynamics play from other players (one of Vicente, Aimar). If Pirlo becomes a constant goal threat (10+ goals all season excluding penalties) played further upfront it is ok. But we need more scoring midfielders.
2. One game doesn't change the fact that we played most of our best games (Bayern, Depor in 02/03) with a single true striker. Against roma 03/04 Sheva was our only real target man too.
Knowing Galliani's unwillingness to spend on dynamic creative offensive players, I'd be even happy if we pick up Figo on the cheap next summer. Solari is the better option, though.
