You may well be right about forwards not being good tacklers. There are forwards I can think of who, if I was manager, I would instruct to keep the hell out of our penalty area because they are a walking penalty kick against us or at least likely to give away a free kick in a dangerous area...
I seem to remember I saw a stat last season saying he committed more fouls than anyone else in the Championship? Or maybe more than any other striker I don't know, I just remember I saw something about the number of fouls
