I'm not a fan of long throws as a tactic. Especially when it is done by the guy who can probably put in the best cross, if the ball is thrown to him.
why waste time with a short throw, couple of touches, get closed down etc - pick it up, throw it in to the box unchallenged.
easy - if you have the weapon why wouldnt you use it.
be like having a 150mph serve in tennis and serving underarm all the time
