Strikers aren't scoring goals

I have just started this save with Panakinathos, and I'm playing a 4-4-2 formation. Most of my tactic is decent, but for some reason my strikers aren't scoring enough goals. A few times now, we have had a lot more xG/shots on target than the other team, but my strikers just aren't putting away the chances. Over the first 5 games of the season, we have scored only 6 goals in total - 3 from my two strikers combined, and two of those 3 goals have been pens. Here's my tactic:

It's not to complicated and I try not to exploit 4-2-3-1 gegen, so do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to make my strikers score more goals? Thanks in advance :)

I'd remove work ball into box - you have four wide players as well as a target man, it makes sense to encourage more crosses. You can give individual players PI's to shoot less if you're worried about long shots. Maybe also take the tempo up a notch.

Also without a playmaker, there's no one trying to unleash a killer ball which contradicts work ball into box, as you're less likely to have anyone playing that decisive killer ball through.

Let me know if that improves things, otherwise you might need to tweak the formation.
