I don't think it's really an adequate metric of entertainment either way, on its own, tbh. I don't broadly disagree with @Koke and I'm not vocally anti Puel but possession and passing statistics going up don't necessarily make us any more successful or better to watch. Just means we're playing a different style, for better or worse. Edited 5 October 2018 by Finnegan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means we're playing a different style, for better or worse. Yeah, I agree with you in the main but I would also say that in general, the better teams do have more possession. If you look at the top five teams in the world's top 10 leagues they do, on average, have more possession than the bottom 5 teams. Or the middle five teams. People can get bogged down in stats but, conversely (and you are not one of these people) some people throw all stats out the window because "we won the league with no possession" which seems a little premature. On average if you have more possession and more shots than your opposition you will tend to win more than you lose. I quite like possession based football but I understand the excitement of a fast, quick break after some last ditch defending. I am just not sure that style is sustainable for long term success.

Countryfox Posted 5 October 2018 Share Posted 5 October 2018 Puel out ?? ... here's a good article by Silky in todays Mercury ... positive stuff !! (P.S. I wonder if he's on here ?? ... does anyone know ???? ...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 5 October 2018 Share Posted 5 October 2018 Of course he's on here as are all the other journalists. They know that these days listening to a fan's forum is an important part of their job. I may give Jakupovic's best mate a hard time but at least he's up front about being here and I respect him for that. I remember when a certain journalist thought he was better than the rest of us on here - seems he's a little less welcome here and with LCFC now.

But we won it 2-0 with 60% possession and because of that we are now boring and many want Puel out? Baffling. On every measurable positive stat we are top 10. Goal scoring we are 7th. Passing top 8. Possession top 8. Position in the table 8th. We are not perfect but I am about 75% happy with Puel. I still think defensively we look fragile at times and sometimes we don't create as much as i would like. But thats the difference between a 7th-10th side and a top 6 side. Good post actually. The agenda against Puel from some posters on here is ridiculous and without logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
