Fair enough.But you can't score without shooting, and thats how games are won. Plus you might win a corner, or it could bobble, or the keeper could spill it into the path of a striker.
Shots are a quantifiable measure of performance. But take-ons? Don't mean anything. Think about it, other than Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho... its not often you see players repeatedly dribbling past defenders is it. Even on the wings we tend to use overlapping fullbacks more.
You wouldn't measure a performance on step overs would you.
In the interests of pedantry...But you can't score without shooting
Definitely a shot.In the interests of pedantry...
Definitely a shot.
"Take ons" don't mean anything? Go check out bale's last year at the Lane. Bale having a good old chuckle over that POV. Xbox and all.But you can't score without shooting, and thats how games are won. Plus you might win a corner, or it could bobble, or the keeper could spill it into the path of a striker.

Yeah you're right. How silly of me. Fuck them screamers he was scoring. That winner at west ham, pft what was that. That hat trick, not doing it for me at all. It was definitely about all those times he kicked the ball past a defender and ran after it."Take ons" don't mean anything? Go check out bale's last year at the Lane.

I mean, seriously, what point are you trying to make? I literally, in the comment you just quoted, said that apart from the best players in the world, how often is it you see players successfully dribbling past half a team and then scoring. Its not a common thing in real life, Hazard does it, bale does, ronaldo does it, messi does it... What do these players all have in common? Well for one they've all won the champions league or a ballon d'or or are being touted as a future winner, in hazards case.
Either way, my point is this.
Ive been into football my whole life. Rarely a day goes by i don't think about it. Ive had thousands of conversations about it throughout my life.
AND NOT ONCE HAVE I SAID "TAKE-ONS". NO ONE MEASURES ANYTHING BY TAKE ONS.
I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

You tell me ? I'm not the one taking such great offense to the use of the term "take on". And FYI, plenty of footballers were taking on defenders well before my arrival as well as that sky spots app.What exactly is your point?????
You mentioned take ons, because you saw it on a fucking sky app, and now you're posting videos of gareth bale belting one in from 25 yards out.
You sound like a dick for mentioning it in the first place and now i sound like a dick for talking about it at 2 am. Im baffled, you seem confused. What are we doing with our lives here Phil.
Either way, no one would say "did you see lamela the other day, he had 7 successful take ons"You tell me ? I'm not the one taking such great offense to the use of the term "take on". And FYI, plenty of footballers were taking on defenders well before my arrival as well as that sky spots app.
Ps. 9:20 eastern time here. Having a few pints and things are just peachy right here. GS
The only thing cringe level is the use of "Americanisation" which I'm pretty sure isn't even a word. Nor have I ever heard the use of it before. Whining about America has zero relevant here my man. Caps lock or no Caps lock.Either way, no one would say "did you see lamela the other day, he had 7 successful take ons"
Just saying that makes me cringe a little. Its an unnecessary americanisation of the beautiful game.
Evening sunshineAMERICANISATION.
Night all. X
