The Inquest Now The Dust Has Settled

[Jacksbadhobbits]

I have to admit that I get a bit annoyed at the widely accepted perception on this forum that every team should strive to play possession football and that the only reason for a team not doing that is because they don't have players that are good enough. I strongly disagree with that perception. There are lots of good teams in Europe with great players that chose not to play possession based football and have great success following a different tactical model.

I agree possession does not always equate to winning football matches but the teams that do consistently win tend to have more possession, especially over a period of time. One of our problems this season was winning matches at home where we were expected to break teams down. We lacked the quality to do that. To step up we need to be more confident in possession and we need quality additions for that.
