Possession Game in PL
at 19:49 6 Jan 2023

Essentially all the teams in PL play a possession game with a build from back and a side or backwards pass if player looks like losing ball. This results in a lot of passes and high possession. Ralph had Saints play that way. But since Jones -it has really dropped. Examples - Brighton 590 passes(66% possession), Saints 254 ( 34%), next game Fulham 590(62%),Saints(38%). Saints did better versus NF, NF 180(38%), Saints 365passes (62%). The Man City-Chelsea game had 471 passes Chelsea and 548 Man City.

Bazuna on every goal kick or punt kicks upfield and Central Defenders kick low passes all straight to feet of opposition who build from back.
Surely this strategy has to change.
