How about, positioning, first touch, finishing, technique?
You can have all the finishing you want, if you're not getting in scoring positions, you won't score.

Nonsense.
Yes, scoring goals IS all about finishing. Finishing=ending the movement, putting the ball into the net
Good finishing = goal
Bad finishing = No goal
TBH, i couldn't give a toss about positioning, first touch, technique - goal scoring is ALL about finishing.
i've never said that a guy who shinned a ball into the net from 2 yards, whilst falling over from bad technique, having been the wrong side of the defender, and having shanked the ball too far forward, was a bad finisher! He scored, end of!!
all the other stuff is just Wengerism nonsense about technical skill, quality, quality me arse to justify playing average players like Giroud/Gervinho ahead of quality goalscorers like Podolski!

What the f**k are you talking about. So the idea of technical skill is all Wengerism nonsense.
You've never played a game of football in your life i bet. It seems you lacking with the most basic of footballing knowledge. Situations need to be created not everything is down to luck or "the fates".

If only you realised how hiliariously wrong your comment above is!!
Winning tootball matches is about scoring goals. Scoring goals is about finishing (which was where my post started btw!)
Everything else is just Fantasy Manager nonsense!!
Goals win games. Technical skills count for nought if you don't finish chances!!
I never mentioned luck or "the Fates" - YOU DID!!
I mentioned finishing. Finishing has NOTHING TO DO WITH LUCK OR THE FATES, BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH SCORING!!
Get over your self inflated sense of knowledge and get back to understanding the basics of football, will ya!!
