Possession Football Losing Grip in Premier League
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Squirrels hoard nuts, not possession—teams should focus on efficient counter-attacks instead of sterile ball control.
💡 Why it matters
Clubs may rethink recruitment and coaching strategies, favoring direct play and defensive solidity over expensive possession-based systems.
Only 36% of Premier League teams with over 60% possession have won this season, according to BBC Sport. This suggests a tactical shift away from dominance-based play.
