Having more possession doesn't mean

anything unless you turn it into wins.

This weekend West Ham 53% Cardiff 58% Arsenal 60%
Manchester City 63% and Spurs 65% all lost despite having more
possession.

You can also add Chelsea 68% and Everton with a huge 73%
into the mix as both teams really should have lost,Chelsea only
drew due to a dodgy penalty and Everton due to some woeful
finishing by their opponents.

Teams that have more possession seem to be getting picked off at will
against those teams who are willing to concede possession.

Will the trend continue over the next few weeks or will some
managers realise that sometimes playing a more risky ball
could unlock a defence that is designed to absorb pressure
and attack on the break
