Can all you neggo's please take note of two excellent posts and get behind your team and support them stop the moaning or buy a rope. Alternatively do as Dave say's ..........In bold above!
It's fairly obvious those who are never happy with the performance, players, manager etc....... the moaning critical W*******S
What's racist about negative i.e. neggo's, however if I said what's negative about racism that would be a racist remark
Here's one for you col, saints 77% possession and lose 3-2. Possession in an incredibly false stat, I wish they had a possession in the final third like they do in hockey which gives a true indication of how the game went.
Can you come up with a stat for how many games have been lost by a side with over 70% possession. Not many I'd guess.
Barca celtic. Then again most times that huge possession will walls lead to most possession in the final third as well. That not necessarily true with games where its 5x against 4x possession.
But not with 51 49 games which is what you were suggesting referring to Bournemouth having more of the ball against us.
I simply was pointing out that when you play 4-4-2 the opposition are far more likely to have more of the ball and more efforts on goal, corners etc.
I agree and more possession in the final third whereas playing one up front will result in more overall possession but less in the final third which is why overall possession can be misleading unless its a landslide.
It's the Swansea syndrome. Under Rogers they had phenomenal possession and passing stats, but it was meaningless because it was mostly sideways and backwards. We have been similar at times.
I know but it was col pointing out they had more possession. Even up to 60%, it doesn't necessarily mean one side dominated, just that they couldn't penetrate the final third. As above, the Swansea syndrome is an example where they could have 65% of the ball but it would be in their own half.
