90% of his goals come from tap ins? any proof for that? No thought not. Yeah that goal at our place was a tap in wasn't it?
He's scored 219 goals in 486 games or something, which is a fantastic record.
There's rivalry and then there's just plain bitterness and delusion.
Sorry don't know how to find Rooney tap in statistics but everytime I watch the rags and if Shrek scores more often than not it's an easy tap in that any prem league striker would score bar wellshite.
Even my rag mates agree he scores a lot from them. Don't get me wrong his positioning is good , but it's more the team and service he gets than his amazing ability.
Also this isn't the first time you've wanked over Shrek, you praise far to often.
You're even referring to that one goal that Rooney himself never shuts up about. There is a reason Shrek never shuts up about it, because he can't believe he did it someone of his 'ability'.
So let's do some research. This season Rooney's scored 7 goals. 3 of them were free kicks. One was a one on one and the other was a volley from a cross. Included in the 7 is 2 for England, one was a good header last night and one was you could say a 'tap in' against Montenegro. Where he reacted quickly to score.
So 1 'tap in' in 7 goals. Just under 15%. A mere 75% under your estimate. Is this just an anomaly? So you don't know how to find his statistics yet you've made a claim that 90% of his goals are tap ins? You've made a ridiculous claim now back it up please? But here's something for you mate. The only way he'll end up this season with 90% of his goals being tap ins, is if he scores another 53 goals, all of which being tap ins. If he scores that many more however, I don't think anyone will mind that they weren't amazing goals.
It's an absolute bullshit statistic you made up. And average at best? Well how high are your standards?
And yes he does score a lot of simple goals. But so does any top striker. Quick reactions and positional play are hugely important for a striker. Better to score ten tap ins a season than 5 amazing goals.
But that's a moot point anyway because he scores plenty of good goals.
As I've said Im all for rivalry and calling him an ugly granny shagger etc but if you think he's an 'average at best footballer' and pull out 'stats' from thin air based on 'your Rag mate' You need your fucking head checked.
