Is possession now becoming less important? 11:41 - Dec 31 with 966 views | Chrisd | Lots mentioned from fans from all clubs across the country about the importance of possession to win games, but are we seeing a buck in this trend? Forest being a prime example of it. 10-15 minutes after half time last night, we had 12% possession but during that spell grabbed that second goal via Hutchinson's clinical finish. |  |

It's no good having most of the possession if all you're doing is pinging around the defence/midfield, you have to be penetrative with the possession too. Conversely, you have to take the majority of any chances you get if you don't have the ball often as you don't get many chances to convert. |  | |  |

Also, when we are going up against teams that cost well above £500m to assemble, we cant be trying to compete on a possession based game. |  |

No exactly, you can't out football those sides on bigger budgets, not without freakishly good recruitment |  |
