I hear what you're saying. I don't think either our passing, movement or set-pieces have improved noticeably under Rafa. I wrote a piece about it in the mag last year.
People will say that if you haven't learnt the footballing basics by the time you turn professional you never will. But top pros in all sports work on perfecting their basic techniques throughout their careers and reap the benefits, so there's no reason why it shouldn't work for footballers, however technically good they are to begin with.
