Difference is, like with Crouch, is that he gets the ball send to his head all the time and he doesn't know how to head the ball without fouling. Shearer was the same, Fellaini does it too. They foul more. How 'bout that.
I don't trust a news report either to report a study correctly. Can't take the word of people of whom's motives are to sell papers rather than to report correctly.
