Their squad in attack is not short of players only lacking mentality in finishing so there is no need to return to stacking strikers especially for old strikers like Lacazette. What they need is a player who can patch up the defense in the condition of the players who are currently hit by a storm of injuries long enough to make Madrid have to try to patch up this position more.

I agree with this because if they really wanted a striker then why would they let Joselu go at the start of this season, even though he is still very useful if used as a back-up option in Madrid's rotation.

For some reason, I always don't like Ancelotti's way of looking as if there are no big problems in his squad. Although I quite agree that the reasons for their player's confidence in being able to survive conditions like this reflect that he really believes in the player, of course there must be several other considerations that must be taken into account.
Currently they have several injured defenders and some of them will definitely be recovering until the end of this season because of their ACL. Seeing this, Ancelotti should pay more attention to more important things first because Alaba, Carvajal and Militao still have a long time to recover and even if they recover, the worst possibility is that they will have to re-adapt so it is clear that there must be other options to improve their performance in conditions like this.

Because in the end, Ancelotti's initial standards and expectations of Mbappe were so great that it seemed that Joselu's presence was not needed but they did not realize that Mbappe's most comfortable position was a winger not a targetman which made there were several changes that wanted to be made including looking for an old striker.

But actually for now the striker is not a priority that must be prioritized by Madrid because after all there is still a defense that they must condition first and if possible look for a play maker who can indeed make a big contribution in passing. Although not like Kroos, they must find the closest player because for now Madrid's attacking flow sometimes always utilizes the width of the field with speed but there is no combination in their passes that makes the attack easier to read by the opponent.
