elampiro: Lol! Stop making me laugh. That was a tap in goal. He wasn't under any pressure nor obstruction unlike those who jumped to head in goals. The mishit shot was close to his head and he was close to the goal post, all he had to do was to nod the ball in. |

codedguy1: I think the definition is not clear. But if we go by the definition below, you're right. 2. (soccer ) A simple shot into the goal from close range, and without opposition. |

Diademk07: Where did he open the opposition? In the middle of the pitch, in our own half or where? In one breath you said he makes vertical passes, in another you said he always tries to make vertical passes which is the reason he's often criticised for the poor passes he sometimes made which simply means those vertical passes were poor. This simply means most of his passes are not incisive but simple passes. Herrera still make more of those incisive passes than Fellaini. He has always been good at that and that's what reflected in his key passes and through balls stats during his last season at Bilbao. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:39pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
tess1: The koko be Fellaini was the DM yet he still made more vertical passes than the Spanish cleverly. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:40pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: Rooney was leveled with a defender, although unmarked. The fact that there was a keeper to beat makes it not a tap in goal my opinion. That header could easily be missed. Some might have headed straight to the goalkeeper or even wide. You have to know how to use the head very well to be able to head that ball with the amount of curling it needed to go into the net avoiding the Keeper's reach. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:45pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
elampiro: And tap in can't be missed? Haven't you seen a player lambasted for missing a tap in? Also, not only open goal are tap in situation, a goalkeeper could be there as well. BTW Rooney was free in that particular situation. In fact, over free dey worry am there. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 12:49pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: Vertical passes in defensive areas! Not different from the type our defenders made. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:58pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: In my opinion, tap ins are when you need to just roll the ball across the goal line. Like Keane did with Mata's pass. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:02pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
tess1: Which means our defender are even more intelligent than the Spanish Cleverley. Speaking of Cleverley, his floated shot-like crosses are even more of revelation than the ones people were praising Herrera for in the match. |

Diademk07:a tap in is quaresma's goal against croatia. u don craze my guy. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:07pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
elampiro: In my own, a close range goal is a tap in. In fact, I tends to credit players who scored close range goals under obstruction from the opposition defender a lot more. Why did you think people often try to degrade some of Ronaldo's goals? |

Funlordjnr:did u bother reading the balotelli article at all? Jose meeting him has nothing to do with signing him 2 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 1:12pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Funlordjnr:good deal. forget the bad press he's been getting, balotelli is cheap, but we know he can be good if motivated. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:14pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Elxandre: What? What about Rashford |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:19pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Elxandre: For me, Rooney goal was tap in. He was under no pressure, close to the goal and the ball was hit close to his head, he didn't even make any movement unlike some players does with their onrushing movements. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 1:19pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07:An 18 year old good player will always get his chance sooner or later. |

Elxandre: Huh? Ibra even has 1+1 contract and he's already talking about staying for 3yrs? That's fuccked up. I can't believe Mourinho is even looking for another Striker and defender when we have Rash or TFM respectively. Bailley and Ibra are already here, why more? |

Diademk07:Balo is 26. ibra is 34 & already declining. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 1:46pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Elxandre: The thing is Rash should be the one being groomed to take over from Ibra in a year time but I'm hearing 3yrs now and the Balo rumours. What the hell! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordjnr: 1:50pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
lekkie073: Even meeting him is of no use! Or is jose now his personal psychologist? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordjnr: 1:56pm On Aug 17, 2016 |

Diademk07: Using your logic, this beautiful Mata goal vs Liverpool is a tap in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuC5byQH7WA Same way too with some Bervatov beautiful finish from close range. I am not even to mention Chicharito or Inzaghi who score from close range. Mr Kagawa10, it is only when there is no opposition to beat (including the goalkeeper) that you can begin to talk of tap in. You no know ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:07pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
elampiro: How is that the same with Rooney? Mata was onrushing to the ball after starting the move and a defender was even distracting him before his scissor/overhead kick compared to a stationary Rooney with a mishit shot close to his head with no pressure whatsoever? Haba! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:13pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: Tap in has nothing to do with the build up. Mata scored from close range and was alone in that place. He had shot before the defender arrived. Most tap ins are scored by players on rushing. Even when Keam received from Mata, he was on rushing. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:14pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Secondly, Mata was inside the first box whereas Rooney was in the second. Let's not even talk about the situation involved, which is closer? And lol at looping header! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:16pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
elampiro: One fact is defenders were on Mata's neck and he was further from the goal unlike Rooney who was near the gaol and stationary with a lucky shot close to his head under no pressure. How is that the same? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:27pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: All these are now stories. Tell me since when tap in is defined by stories. The two were simply not tap ins. A tap in is simply when one can roll the ball across the goal line without opposition/goalkeeper. E.g Keane's goals against Wigan. ........... But the truth here is that Mata was unmarked. If he stopped the ball, he would be caught though, same in Rooney's case. They needed to shoot and beat the goalkeeper. I can also show you even closer range goals from Bervatov but will not pass as tap ins.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:31pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
elampiro: Unmarked? What was that black defender doing beside Mata kicking? You know what? I define my own tap in and for me Rooney header was a tap in from close range under no obstruction. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:32pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
Diademk07: Rooney was in the second box, then counted about three steps to the edge of the first box. If Rooney had even scored from 19 yards without anyone in goal, I could call that a tap in. But with someone to beat, it is never a tap in. |
