It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted February 3, 2019 1 minute ago, westcoastcanary said: What also needs resurrecting is the second half of our recent win over Birmingham. Remember DF afterwards saying it was an opportunity to practice and improve our ability when it comes to defending a lead? Second half yesterday was perfect vindication. Absolutely spot on! noticeable too in DF’s interview he seemed to be happier with the 2nd half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stats he gives are perfectly correct: Leeds had 67% possession and more shots than us. FACT. What he is actually purporting to discredit is not statistics, but the idea that a possession-based strategy and high number of shots per game is the key to success. Fortunately Daniel Farke and his team, together with such other "idiots" of the game as Pep Guardiola, know otherwise and have the statistics to support them. For a start, they know that a successful strategy is one that gets the best results most of the time, not necessarily every time. I wonder if Sooty57 smokes ........ Hence the wink. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
