Edged it ! 62,% possession , palace battered them. But in saying that we can have as much possession and hit the woodwork as many times as we want, but while we have a defense that leaks goals and a manager who goes all out attack in the last minute when a point is there we will get relegated . And with the squad palace have would be quite an achievement!
Possession means nothing. Burnley's tactics are to take advantage of a little-known loophole in law 10. It says "The team scoring the greater number of goals during a match is the winner.". Works for me!
I'd want to see stats for possession in the opposition half. Many teams (not Palace, especially) pad their possession stats by passing it round the back four.
