I would argue that Cristiano is the perfect example to prove my point. As he built his muscle and size he became far less of a dribbler than he was as a stocky teenager.

Leicester were time wasting all game. turnabout is fair play.
Wow. A come from behind grinding out victory.
Very good. We need to be able to do that more.

A lad on RAWK has money on Salah over 15 league goals and Liverpool over 80 league goals or 85 . Cant remember .
Anyway it's 250/1 .
Yeah let's not take things further it's the closest I've come to complimenting Liverpool in 10 and a half years and even then that was telling a friend they played alright after losing the champions league final in 2-1 to try cheer him up
He isn't and never has been a target man. He's most effective when he's running at players and timing runs in to the box for an aerial ball.
Yeah. Need to play him off the shoulder of defenders.
Rudiger has been a great signing, club needs to find more gems like these and less of overpriced players like VVD or Stones 
That's actually a very good bet in the hindsight
I think I could manage
I knew Leicester were gonna lose when they took both Mahrez and Vardy off at the same time. Bloody useless small clubs. Deserved win though. Salah is immense.
Huddersfield managed 0.05 xG today 
All the summer signings except Morata scored tonight 
Coutinho wants to leave Liverpool to play alongside Messi? Am I missing something? 
A goal and 2 assists today. I’ll have those problems, please.
Also those calling out Mahrez and Vardy subs, you realise these two have had no breaks in this crazy schedule? Even in that cup match against City U21s, where they were subbed on, they pretty much played almost 90 minutes thanks to extra time.
And they go again in two days time! Puel has given them every chance to play but he's not a lunatic. Doesn't want them out injured for the rest of the season.

Heurelio Gomes is possibly the greatest liability in recent league history. Very rarely he has an incredible performance that raises his stick and the rest of the time he walk around with body language that genuinely looks like he's taking the piss, like he's over acting 'clumsy' in a silent film
I doubt it is even their average wageI think just the age caught him and he lost a bit of his explosiveness and is used more as a striker. But his center of gravity has not changed that much is true for sure.
Bakayoko?All the summer signings except Morata scored tonight
Man Utd vs Southampton
It is. Salah has done his part. I think we are above the average goals scored that is needed to get the bet in.
Hahahha ! I honestly think a little pee just came out I was laughing so hard !
The age caught him? It happened when he was still here when he was 23!
2 weeks ago.
No martial or Rashford?
No VvD?
No VvD?
That looks serious. Hope Lukaku is ok.
Hope Lukaku is ok.Was on ski jumping, what happened with Lukaku?
This is for Swansea posters here to start learning
All the best for Carvalhal and Swansea

That doesn't look good at all. Fingers crossed for him but the way they are supporting his neck and he's not moving doesn't bode well. Speedy recovery.
Clash of heads. He was hit from behind.
Cheers. Hopefully @GifLord has a video.
Okay. Bulked or not his center of gravity did not change much at all. I guess there are all sorts of players who are good at dribbling or shielding the ball well. Tall or short, surely this can be worked on.
WTF Mikhi!!
He quite clearly declined as a dribbler during the transition so i would argue it did.
Wow, Miki, that was just...terrible.
Yes, whatever. I'd argue it did not, he still was an awesome dribbler at Real and his center of gravity did not change an inch. Just Fellainis who is tall, and is very good at shielding the ball.
I dream to grow up to be Craig Pawson. Wumming on the grandest scale.
Some great cojones shown by Watford yet again today
Wow, Young. Tadic did nothing to him.
Twat.
