Is it just me or are possession stats getting more and more ridiculous? What I mean is maybe 10 or so years ago, it was always 50-50 or 55-45 even in games where one team dominates. Arsenal were playing someone the other day and we had 80% possession in a 30 min spell or something. And it's more common for games to finish with 65-35 or 70-30. If true, maybe we're not the only team to have abandoned a pass and move game with a bore the opposition into sleep game.
Theres a reason why Barca players who normally complains so much about refs didn't do it this time, but just conceded the result was fair and it could have been more.

Neymar is Barca bound.
10 or so years ago, possession stats were hardly ever mentioned. Everyone used to laugh at Motty when he used to intersperse his commentary with stats.
He's been "barca bound" for two years and counting.
Nawty Bayern for flooding the centre of the pitch
Neymar would be foolish to go to Barcelona.
I think so too, as he is a very unBarca-like player. Not saying it is bad, but he is ball-hog who tries too many high risk, ball losing tricks.
We should sign Neymar.

It is ridiculous, against fulham we had 91% possession in the opening 10mins, the commentator was shocked that it wasn't even in double digits for Fulham.

Agree. His best example is to look at Alexis Sanchez

He is a direct player. They could use a few of those.
We could use a few of those.

Not sure he'd be good enough. He doesn't have PL experience you know.
You've probably seen this already if you have SS. Kloppo 🙂
Looking forward to this a lot more than I was last night's game.
I am no expert Y va - but I don't think that is Klopp.
I'm well up for this. Dortmund bossed them in the group but Mourinho isn't one to make the same mistakes too often. Should be good.
How poor was the defending there from Peps? Excellent by Lewandowski btw. Why can't we get him?
Dortmund started really well. Already 1-0 up.
Lewandowski is so much more mobile and better than we give him credit for.
Donald Duck defending from Pepe though.
Gotze getting booed.
Actually the more I view it, its more of how quality the cross is, not Pepe's poor defending.
Gotze is so stupid to leave.
