Early season our possession states were talked as a positive, normally in games where we were seen as “unlucky” with the result.

However a quick check in shows our possession stats in the last two games are way down despite positive results.

So, does possession mean s***?

Let the contributory factors battle commence

I thought you'd just discovered nine tenths of the law.

Wanted to draw some hype for possible bear pit candidacy

You may be in possession of some incredible length or girth, but I gather that doesn't matter, and what you do with it is what counts.

You’re still in the Hughton mindset that the manager has a “set” way of playing.

GP has drilled the team to play multiple formations and systems that are interchangeable mid game. There are times where we will dominate the ball again, in the right game, but other times a quick counter is more deadly. Very team dependent.

This. We are now a different club. The old ideas about formation and tactics no longer apply.

Possession in defensive third means nothing unless of course you are protecting a lead

I actually felt more comfortable with Leicester having more possession in the last game, in recent games with them we have had most of it but they have beaten us with counter attacks.
