I don’t think 20% possession is correct NI. We had a lot less than that.
In the first half it didn’t matter because all of their possession was along the back line, into midfield and back again. We were marking players and challenging for the ball. We created chances and they didn’t.
After 55 minutes we put 9 cones around our penalty area, stopped marking and stopped competing for the ball.
Now possession does matter because it is all around our box by players not being challenged.
I feel for the players who worked their asses off but Cox was very lucky to get a point against a very poor team.
