Why is my Striker Desment not scoring and contributing more

[wintersnow341]

Hi Kelp

Desmet is 1.82m tall though lol so I think height is not an issue normally I like to pair my striker team like the below formation probably Desmet performs better with a striker beside him.

I am now pairing him up with one of my strongest strike team against one of my strongest opponent I really hope he does well this time as shown below.

Any suggestions would be helpful as I am still learning the ropes in the game.

Thanks Nikos and Dream for your earlier replies.
