Scoring 2 goals a game from an average of 70.6% possession, but conceding 2.2 goals a game from 29.4% possession for the opposition.
It’s still relatively early days, but the theory that the opposition cannot score if they don’t have the ball is not holding very true at present. Having the majority of your possession in your own and the middle third probably doesn’t help either.
