There were (probably entirely unintentional) undertones of this in the summer with the Lukaku Vs Morata debate, with Lukaku being described as powerful and Morata as intelligent.

In a lot of cases black men probably don't mind this particular stereotype, but it originated from justification to treat black people as second class citizens.
Davinson Sanchez was recently described as a "destroyer" to compliment the technical ability of Toby Alderweireld, Vertongen and Dier.

It goes onto say, he's not actually made a tackle in his first two games but why let facts ruin some good, clean racism?
