It’s not totally made up at all. Arteta brought set piece focus and particularly long throws into popularity last season, Arsenal are known for it so don’t give me that ****
But it is nonsense. Gareth Southgates England did it throughout his employment. Certainly free kicks into the box, it was fundamental to his play. Arteta didnt bring it back. It never left the English managers mindset. And if indeed he is utilising long throws I'm certain A) its because he can get away with it over here. B) I'm completely against it and C)I'd bet a far greater percentage of English coaches use it. English coaches are comparatively ****, they are incapable of producing anything special. The culture and mindset gets in the way.
We did much better with English owners before selling out & becoming just another foreign owned sports ball franchise.
