agreed. The difference between him and Nelson in a nutshell

can be seen if we have a chance to cross.
Pukki will invariably run as quick as possible forwards to the goal between the posts.
Nelson would usually drop back, offering himself for the cutback.

Of course, the cutback only becomes hard to defend if a striker puts himself right in the goalmouth forcing 2 defenders to follow. Therefore, Pukki makes 2 options, either firing it across goal for the touch or dropping it back for one of the attacking midfielders.
