When we have over 50 per cent possession

[watsonsclarets]

We tend not to win or is it just me.

Seriously there is a direct correlation when we have above 50 percent possession.

I thought we were outfought today and we looked a yard off all over.

49% of that is slowly passing it around the defence like England used to before wellying it as hard as possible up the pitch

Dont think when the opposition are 3-1 up after 52 mins they are bothered about having the ball as long as they keep their shape

3 shots on target

It, not just this game though is it.

Look over a period it shows some interesting reading when we have above 50 percent.

Its probably because teams look at us and arent worried about us hurting them when attacking as we are so poor in the final third. Fingers crossed Vydra is a piece of the puzzle which we really need rather than square pegs in round holes which is what we have been doing with Hendrick

We knocked it about just fine first half and got plenty of balls into dangerous positions but it just wasn't our day.
Second half the heads went down after conceding two very soft goals. It's goals that change matches and that was never truer than today.

Once again over 50 percent and again we lose. shame bring on Sunday. I would like to see the final 3rd entries and the break up of the balls placed directionally.

Gutted oh well

Yes but if a Statistician has his head in the oven and his feet in a bucket of ice he will still say on average he feels ok.
