Something regularly mentioned in match threads, but maybe worth a separate topic. It's nearly always in our favour, we invariably have more of the ball than the opposition even in away games. But that's all 'possession' means, that we have the ball. I'm a fan of stats, but this one can be misleading and last night was a perfect example as to why. Apparently we had 70% possession, which I wouldn't dispute. Maybe it should be broken down into 'negative possession', where you have the ball in your own half, and 'positive possession' where you have the ball in the opposition half. Last night our 70% possession would have been around 60% negative and 10% positive. The negative possession created far more chances for them than our positive possession did for us.

I'm not asking for a big change in playing style, but we have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
