Here is the NFFC news

Love that the stats crowd can't get their head around one of their favourite measurement stats not actually providing insight into a game of football.

Possession is only going to be insightful towards outcome if all other things are equal*. That is to say, if you have the majority of possession, but never try to score, you will not win a single game. Even if your possession is 100%. The stat these people really need is percentage per possession percent of actually trying to go something.

Or they could use their eyes.

* If one side takes risks with the ball, and tries to score**, and another side doesn't***, the outcomes will likely be quite different for the same possession, and same quality level.

** ie traditional English football.

*** ie this turgid Spanish dancing crap that the commercial corruption of football, in favour of protecting a small number of brands, has lumbered us with.

The modifications to the rules, and the interpretation that brushing against someone, or having a part of your body on the pitch, that a protagonist may choose to effect proximity to, collapse to the ground, and be given a free kick, means a removal of physical elements of the game. This is a potential leveller, and thus by financially doping the costs of acquiring and maintaining players, and changing the nature of compensation for young player theft, while waving in multi-club ownership, means that the more financially able clubs can stockpile the more technically proficient players, who are then protected such that the dancing element achieves a disproportionate advantage over, for example, sticking it in the mixer.

Options for bucking the trend are limited. Roughly distilling down to playing them at their own game, with massively inferior players, and likely getting humped....or not trying to, but trying to actually make a tiny number of opportunities produce a return.

You got commas, suit yourself if you don't want to use them to breathe. I can't do everything for you.
