It’s a sad art of the modern robotic game.
Having said that I don’t remember Jimmy Greaves,one of the greatest ever scoring from outside the box.

Something overlooked here is that in the pursuit of trying to set up a tap-in, you’re more likely to get frustrated by the defence, lose possession and not get a shot in at all.

So it may make more sense to shoot a little more often, accepting that an inferior xG is better than 0.

There is definitely more of a mindset these days around scoring the perfect goal rather than just having a go.

Same with wide players when they get in a good position to cross but elect to turn back and retain possession instead.

Didn't need to, slightest mistake by an opponent and he was on it in a flash.He was always the nearest player to the goal after the keeper and last defender. The word "poacher" should have been invented just for him.

Footballers now are generally shite. They can run fast but rarely do because they're ordered to check, pass sideways and backwards bollocks. Why use two passes when 10 will do ?
Where are the modern day le Tissiers or Gascoignes ?
Jack Grealish is the most exciting flair player we have in the English game and with the greatest respect to him he's not in the same league, probably because he's been hammered not to do anything that excites the crowd. Modern football is rubbish . Everyone knows it.
