Yeah, used to be you could have a congenitally defective beanpole who looked like Crouch playing in the ruck tapping it down to a guy like Cazorla who was roving on the ball and getting the clearances.
He'd then skim a daisy-cutting punt to some fat bastard like Jason Dunstall playing up front for the mark.
Now you've basically got 5'10" to 6'4" super-soldiers all over the pitch. Ah well - the standard's still high.
