Bulking up has helped him to fend off challenges but it hasn't turned him into a winger that is able to beat his man consistently like Ribery or Robben. Seems obvious to me that he'd more deadly for us if he could dribble like Hazard rather than being built like John Terry. Seems like common sense to me. But we can agree to disagree in this one.
