Boy you are literal so let me spell it out for you.
Kulu or Vlahovic, easier to maintain a good ratio over 15 games than over a whole season or two.
So Vlahovic/Kulu maintaining close to the same ratio in 15 games is not the same as him having this ratio over a season +
It's basic data literacy

Pirlo not getting the best out of him/the team either is in conflict with this point how?
You do realize Pirlo failed too right?
Why do you keep saying this about Vlahovic? He played 21 games at Viola this year in the league. 15 games here. It’s not at all unreasonable to compare those two periods. And his non-penalty goals/90 was nearly identical/marginally better here at Juve. 0.59 vs 0.58. Add to this no preseason, came into a side with an injury crisis, a side missing its best attacker/best chance creator for the entire time he’s been here. All reasons to be optimistic about Vlahovic for next year. But if him not scoring a bunch of penalties here has you believing he flopped go right ahead I guess.
If on the other hand you would like more evidence that he didn’t regress here and we can be optimistic? I can provide that.
His non-penalty xGoals climbed from 0.39 at Viola to 0.45 at Juve. His shots/90 climbed from 3.34 at Viola to 3.76 at Juve. His shots on target/90 climbed from 1.31 at Viola to 1.67 at Juve. His average distance from goal/shot dropped from 16.2 yards at Viola to 13.9 yards at Juve. His shot on target percentage climbed from 39% at Viola to 44% at Juve.
To summarize, he scored more non-penalty goals/90 here. His expected goals were higher here. He took more shots and from closer to goal. He put more shots on target and a higher percentage of his overall shots were on target.
All these things point to success imo. But to each their own.
