I have to admit I love watching Amauri play. He works hard, creates for others and hods the ball up extremely well for us. He wins a lot of fouls, and is just lacking a bit of confidence right now. I think later this season he will be important for us. Also I think referees have been hard on him and he has hit the woodwork. Yeh, he pissed me off yesterday, but I enjoy having him as a Juve player and it is a matter of time before he proves himself IMO.
last month i was saying that buying him it wasn't a great deal, and he is not that good as people say everybody jumped on me. I said as well that Iaquinta is more efficient than him, based on the games he played last year and goals he scored. But some people all they want is beauty amuari can dribble ( but I don't think so). He can't shoot... I hope ciro benches him as soon as possible, and having alex back it's gonna be hard for him!
He is pobably he most well-rounded striker we have at the moment. He is just going through a goal-scoring drought. Once he gets his inevitable goal, he will regain confidence as well as his form. I wouldn't worry too much, almost all strikers go through certain dry phases in which they don't score. A player of Amauri's calibre will hit the net eventually.
Amauri became conditioned to the team playing the long ball tactic all last season. Ranieri changed his role in the team to basically a long ball receiver. And Amauri was conditioned to that role more than Iaquinta or Trez. At Palermo he was a different player. I think once he gets accustomed to the new tactics he'll be fine.
