He was injured for the entire second half of last season

and it was still niggling him at the beginning of this season. a painful toe is going to affect any strikers ability to react quickly

I think Pukki’s intelligence, movement and finishing make him one of the best number 9s we’ve ever had. He misses a lot of chances because he’s so quick to react he takes his shots earlier than most. This is what catches the keeper off guard but it means he’s sometimes not totally in control himself. But it’s often deadly and he will regularly get a shot off when anyone else would need a second longer by which time the chance has gone
