Is if we just have 40% possession.
Let Ipswich faff about with the ball and get nowhere.
And we be clinical with the ball when we have it.
Of course, that isn’t our way 🙄
I eagerly look forward to seeing the stats show that we had 80% possession; and had just 2 or 3 shots on target. |  |

Seems inevitable - against Ipswich Martin will employ his usual method and strategy. I hope I'm wrong but if that that's the case, Ipswich will win. McKenna's not stupid. The game is predictable, we'll have all the possession and they'll break and score. We'll see. |  |

It didn't quite pan out that way - thanks to playing Taylor, Fernandes, Dibling and Archer - but again Saints couldn't defend a set piece. | |

High possession is good but it must have purpose - ours generally doesn't and never will have under RM. Fulham had something like 39% possession against Newcastle but managed 22 shots, half of which were on target and won 3-1. It's what you do with the ball that counts not how much pointless possession you have. | | | |

I watched the highlights of that Fulham game earlier. It's only highlights but it's really noticeable how quickly they get the ball forward. That's the main difference with us. We should be getting the same results as Fulham, we are similar sized clubs.
Their side are mostly odds and ends (Harrison Reed anyone?) that could be playing for us, though most would have considered not good enough. Traore was the one picked out on MOTD. He cost £5m. They made one big money signing in Smith Rowe, having sold their best players to Bayern Munich and Saudi. The main reason they do well is because Marco Silva is a good coach. | | | |
