That can't be right - surely - unless you start dishing out 50m penalties to defenders who drag their opponents down (and I mean consistently) then they will ALL be doing it.
Mind you, I don't ming if they call play on for Fev too much - I actually find he is a much better shot from goald when on the run and kicking over his shoulder.
