Juventus’ issue are the forward players

Juventus score a few goals even if it builds a lot of scoring chances. Many people say that the problem are the forward players who have difficulty making a goal. Reading the statistics of the goals of the past seasons of  the four strikers should be noted that the percentage of goals made in their best years is more or less the same as today, in fact there is some slight improvement. In fact, Vucinic has moved from an average of 0.4 goals per game  to 0.38 of this year, Quagliarella from 0.36 to 0.7 , Matri  from 0.34 to 0.4 and Giovinco from 0.4 to 0 , 5. Therefore, they are all on average with their past performances, the question is that they are now playing for a team that plays to win the league and champions league and their average is too low, because it does not ensure the number of goals that need to win so often is necessary. It should also be analyzed how many decisive goals they have realized, that is, those that have allowed  to win the game. In my opinion the problem is also mental, as playing in a team whose goal is to win every game should be more frequently in situations of scoring. Maybe they do not feel to be ready to play this role, and so every game represents a test to prove they are not only athletes of middle ranking teams  but also of top teams. In other words, what is the mental change that should take to be more confident and decisive in the field. The club has already given its answer by taking a player (Anelka) for the second part of the season and it bought another one for next year. How will they  digest these choices? Do not just hide behind the phrase “we are professionals, we respect the commitments”, are these choices perceived as a stimulus or as an additional source of pressure and mistrust?
