I do think we have a bit of a problem though.  We're completing less passes and having less possession than our opponents in games regularly this season.  Our defence is good, but its going to be tough to win a lot of games when we're under that much pressure.  160 passes over 90 minutes is really not a lot and 70% pass completion means we give the ball away an awful lot.  Once teams start getting their groove it could become more difficult - we need to improve if we want to crack the top 2.


But making judgements on a match purely on completed passes is stupid, as you say possession has to lead to chances or what is the point?
