I see, so you're on a wum.
Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Not at all.
I replied to someone earlier but to ask someone do they know what a tap in is is a bit silly mate but let me put it this way;
There are chances in football that should be converted and there are half chances which the good players convert.
The chances that should be converted are one on one with the GK unless they make a really good save but the odds are heavily stacked in the player’s favour.
I would be really worried if we have paid 85mil quid for an attacker that did not convert from a one on one situation.
That's all good but that goal wasnt a tap in.
Do you play golf?
Nah.
No worries, have a nice day.
Antony's goal was absolutely not a tap-in
It wasn't the most difficult chance in the world but still required a decent finish from that angle.

Cheers.
It was pretty damn close to a tap-in though.Antony's goal was absolutely not a tap-in

I mean, if by close you mean the similarities are that both would require the kicking of a ball, then yeh you are right.

Who said it was a tap in?
Jesus
I can only assume some here have never played football but here it goes.
A tap-in is a close range strike which requires minimum effort AND is unopposed.
Ramsdale was stood between the sticks. The shot was not unopposed. I’d also say it required more than minimum effort to finish and whilst the range was close it was too far away to meet the threshold.
Hope this clears matters up.

A tap in is a goal with no one to beat not even the goalie from a close range, a goal were you still have the goalie to beat is called a one v one, if Antony strike was blocked by the keepers foot it would have been a great save those kind gets missed multiple times every match week.
Let's not reduce it, it was an opener in a big game on his debut.

To also add, the angle made it tougher
At the risk of derailing Amad's thread, I couldn't resist posting a video of my two of my favourite tap-ins:
Jesus how do you spend so many hours talking about football and then genuinely think that Antony goal was a tap in? Bizarre stuff.
Sometimes it's possible to forget how to stupid people can be, then I come in this thread and see some struggling with the definition of a tap-in. Jesus wept.
To get this thread back on track, I still like to think about Amad's goal vs Milan, that was one of the most beautiful tap ins I've ever seen.
Rooney's tap in against Newcastle in 2005 has to be up there too.
Beckhams tap in v Wimbledon away was one of the better ones.
what are his technical qualities?
Good at tap-ins
Aye, top quality tap in too tbf.
Scholesy said he miss hit his tap in vs Barca, imagine miss hitting it from there
Maradona 2nd goal v England, that was literally a tap in
Yea didn't buy that one to be honest, was he aiming for row zScholesy said he miss hit his tap in vs Barca, imagine miss hitting it from there
It’s the second day, but we are still here “tap in”? Let’s forgive him, alright?

I can understand what he would have meant to be honest. He probably intended to hit it cleaner than he did. He ended up cutting across it more than he would have liked but that ironically gave it the swerve it needed to end up where it did. Even at the time it did feel like a sliced shot.
No let’s keep it going.It’s the second day, but we are still here “tap in”?
A tap-in is a chance to score a goal that I would be confident even Timo Werner wouldn't feck up.
Neither of these are tap ins.
Scholesy's tap-in away to Bradford
You reckon?
The Nicholas Cage "Oh really" meme would be perfect right now.
Maradona? The Frannie Jeffers, the fox in the box of Argentina?
The easiest tap-in I ever saw was the RvN goal against Fulham in 2003. It doesn't matter that he started carrying the ball in his own half and ran half the pitch beating 4 players. By the time he got into the box, all he had to do was tap it in. The goalkeeper didn't move anyway. Easy.
That first counter is peak United and peak Arsenal of the time. Rooney full of desire and busting a gut to get into the box, while two Arsenal midfielders who could have easily marked him ball watching.
