Four of the 11 cases of teams having the least possession in a match this season have seen that team win, and only three of the losses would be considered convincing. There is still a correlation between the teams at the top and those that see more of the ball, but the others are finding alternative methods fruitful. Arsenal have had success in doing so in recent seasons and did so again with a 37-per-cent-possession-win over Manchester United. At home. See, possession really isn’t everything.
