Don't think we had a problem getting 70% possession   also, I'm not sure he will get much patience or time unfortunately 

We averaged 62% possession last season. 

 

Celtic averaged 75%.

So if we averaged 62. I'm guessing we had no problem hitting 70 in some games. As per my statement 🤷‍♀️

@Rousseauat home vs Motherwell last season. We had 66% possession and lost 2.1. do you think another 9%, possession would have won us that game?

I made no judgement on the figures. I just thought I'd give you the facts.

 

However, I do think a difference of 13% in average possession is significant between Celtic and ourselves.  

 

And, in my opinion, there is a benefit to having more possession: we have the ball more and our opponent has the ball less. Although, anything can happen in a one-off game.

I've just realised that Martin had the great fortune to play alongside Josh Windass. 

 

What more do we need from a new head coach?

Fair, ok. I was at that motherwell game. I can promise you, we could have had another 15-20% possession and still lost it. But I see the point you are making .

Added to Tavs tactical awareness they’re will be no holding us next season

Hope the borg get him.

The Ancelotti set up was the borg so Jean-Luc has dodged that one.

Wonder if he is also one of the vegan persuasion?

We would be so lucky.
