I've never been a big believer in possession stats when they are used as the main arguement to credit/discredit a team post-match.<br /><br />Although an ACL game, a good recent example is Jeonbuk's 3-0 away win in Tokyo this season, in what I think was the moment they finally showed up this year and kickstarted an upturn in form. <br /><br />Their possession in that game ranged from 32-38% depending on different sites yet kept FC Tokyo to 0-1 shot on target (again, depending on different sites), waited for mistakes and were ruthless when going forward.<br /><br />Then again, possession based football can also reap multiple rewards. Tactics are a far bigger factor..<br /><br />Good information to reflect on, enjoying these pieces while we have this break.Matthew Binnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094688310034211194noreply@blogger.com
