Ok so based off a post I made yesterday on a different thread, I also wanted to trial a second idea today too. End of every month, creating a post which compares how much better or worse we are doing this season to last with the equivalent fixtures.

What I find most interesting is the possession stats being down in every game yet the pass accuracy is actually up on last year.

Clearly illustrates the difference between passing with purpose v. passing because 'philosophy'

What I find interesting is that mindless sideways passing should result in an extremely high pass accuracy. However, we're taking more risks this season in the final third and yet our pass accuracy is higher.

Not perfectly sure but what I am thinking is the rate at which we are passing the ball or the frequency is higher than last time. The speed on the ball when we pass, the time each player runs with the ball is also less than last time I assume. Would like to know the total number of passes attempted on each game though to be more sure...

Yeah that would be interesting. I think pass accuracy and where the passes are made are of more importance than simply a possession stat. I think football has become far to obsessed with it. In my mind possession should be used to create space in other areas of the pitch by dragging the opposition out of position. This obviously requires quick transitions. Something most clubs lack the ability to do accurately and consistently

Must have been so easy for teams to get pressure on us when it was just mindless sideways passing. Passing with intent obviously makes them think twice before rushing in and getting tight in case someone just nips one round the corner and starts a break.

Exactly. I'm all for playing sound, controlled football, but you have got to have that killer mentality and attacking intent or else defenses have time to set up that pressure->cover->balance in front of you.

Right now this doesn't really tell us much we didn't know:

Under Mourinho we are better; we are picking up more points, scoring more goals and conceding less goals (also we are actually shooting more too. I won't get frustrated with random shots this season because I remember how frustrating it was last season when nobody would shoot).

I think this post may become more interesting as the season goes on though.

Total Shots +18 shots

On Target +13 shots

this stat is going to look ridiculous by the end of the season.

It already kind of does 3 games in...
