When I say technical moves I am meaning things such as simple outside foot hook turns to protect the ball under pressure and find a pass.
The simple act of goal hanging wont mean you will simply get an easy chance at some point. There are a whole bunch of methods to create space for yourself, things like checking in and out of space, changes of pace, dropping the shoulder etc etc. The pro defenders at that level can read those moves, time their defensive runs and lines to cope with those moves at a level the average joe couldnt beat. They might think they could do it but reality is quite harsh. I spent half a game trying to get the better of Darren Bazeley, I didnt get the slightest sniff of a chance.
I also had to mark a guy called Wynton Rufer in a charity game about 12 years ago. He is the same age as me. He made me look like a complete and utter muppet. Remember I played in our local National league and thought I was a decent player. The gap is huge. Its one thing to watch tv and see the mistakes players make in EPL games and think you could do better but they are making mistakes in games that are being played at a higher pace ( technical, physical and mental) than 99.9% of us have ever experienced.
this gif always gets me. 
Every fair challenge in the box would look like murder on my comparatively frail body. Surely a few refs would bite.
