    Made me giggle.


    Well the point is to think what kind of footballer Walcott would be like without pace.......pretty low level IMO. Not the greatest point I know but Ramieres seems like he's all about stamina and nothing else is really that good about him.

    Show me 5 clips of him scoring a tap in. Bet you can't find five.

    He scores spectacular goals on the regular. In fact, EVERY one of his goals this season have been nothing short of brilliant.

    Gets his fair few tap ins? You're deluded.

    I'm not stato, can't be asked to trawl through goal videos. "fair few" doesn't mean most/even that many of his goals....doesn't mean I'm forgetting his great goals either.

    Tap ins can be great goals......like the goal he scored vs Bolton. "But it required composure, skill etc" bla bla you could say that about almost every goal. Don't think you should even be taking it as an insult....Liverpool's shirts are red because you get a lot of period stains on them tbh.

    Rooney scores a lot of goals without penalties (ok not this season...) anyway......

    Lol @ Torres' goal against Bolton being a tap in.

    A tap in is pretty much when you tap it into an open goal, or when you tap in a cut back.

    Torres' goal against Bolton was a well executed volley and he had to beat the keeper.

    I would say it was more than that, honestly don't know why it's been overlooked, if it was Rooney it would be:
    "What a goal, that's the real Rooney, world class, he's proven in once again".
    With Torres it's:
    "Good goal" then a month after "Tap-in"

    I still rate Rooney highly but this whole "I love England and hate all foreigners" argument you're trying to pin on me makes no sense at all.

    I never said I don't rate Torres...I'm always a fan of goalscorers and Torres is that and more. Form has been indifferent but then he's been injured and he is at Liverpool after all so he can't take much blame.

    I'd take Rooney because I think he has more of the "X Factor" then Torres....though there's arguments for both. I don't even love Rooney, never have done. Doesn't have the best of attitudes...and I go on talent/style of play etc over nationality. Me liking some English players is hardly a sin.

    .......not my idea of a tap in. All he did was knock the ball in from close range.....for me it was a tap in....if you think that it has to be as easy as FIFA 11 cut backs to be classed as a tap in fine.....but for finishers such as Torres you expect them to score those goals.....

    Lux what are you arguing against anyway? You think Torres scores tap ins or the other way around?

    Jord wrote:Lux what are you arguing against anyway? You think Torres scores tap ins or the other way around?

    People were making out that goal stats with penalties subtracted are more accurate. Rooney has a lot of goals....so what if he scores more penalties then Torres? He's still got to put the ball in the back of the net....and that isn't easy....especially from the spot. Some people make it look easy but when they miss a penalty or two you either A. Ignorantly think that he's lost confidence and is off form or B. Realise that penalties are to an extent a gamble and difficult. I'm not saying people never choke when they take a penalty either...that happens but I've seen quite a few players miss a penalty or two and suddenly it's like their career is going down hill.

    Torres isn't a one dimensional striker....no such thing exists 100% and especially not Torres of all strikers. How can you say "Torres only scores tap ins" or "Torres never scores tap ins".....when that's clearly not true. Jamie even managed to bring up the argument that "tap ins" aren't lucky etc which is absolutely true....but because you're all on the defensive and defending Torres even Jamie managed to turn it into me saying that Torres isn't good because he scores tap ins. If you're scoring tap ins and scoring long range/long dribbles then that means you're a more rounded player and that's a good thing.

    But that aside...when it comes to it do you consider a tap in as difficult as some other goals? As I've already explained penalties and tap ins can be difficult even for world class strikers but that doesn't mean there's no harder goals to score....30 yarders, "abstract goals", amazing dribbles etc etc come to mind..... in the end my point is that you're putting Rooney down a peg because he scores penalties but at the same time you're defending Torres even when he does score tap ins (just to make it crystal clear I don't mean all the time)....that's just a double standard IMO. I doubt you'd use Gerrard's penalties adding to his goal tallies against him.

    Well done.

    The way you guys gang up, get moody and ask sarcastic stupid questions is just insulting (in the sense that it's so beneath me).

    So what if Rooney doesn't score 30 yard screamers every game? What does that have to do with anything I've said? The fact that I have to ask you such an obvious question is just annoying.

    Lux is a well known douchebag so don't take anything he says too seriously.

    Speaking of sha boy Rooney, ESPN just ran an article about how he isn't even the most feared striker is Manc land anymore. I still say hes the best striker of either the mancs or city, but whatever.

    Just is funny when you manc kunts wind LFC up about being scouse, a scouser started your club and is your best player Wayne Rooney vs Fernando Torres - Page 5 70955
