Yes it is not how much possession you have but how you use it.

It was a surreal experience that evening! I went with a Glaswegian mate who was screaming in an almost inaudible accent how crap we were and wanted to punch anyone who told him to keep it down!

Their goal was the result of space opening up due to poor defending but was still speculative at best. Then they let us have the ball and just dealt with it. Did we get Warnocked?

I do think that playing in an empty stadium would have had an effect on both sides and, like last season, I don't take the matches seriously because I think they skew all form and stats. They won't have played behind closed doors this season. That said, based on yesterday, I get what you're saying but they still came away with 3 points even down to 10 players. The table doesn't lie.

That statistic is quite telling where our Right Back has the highest XG of our team.

I don't remember any of our strikers really having a chance.

There needs to be a new metric for us. uG = Unexpected Goals.

It's also quite evident that once Blackburn scored they sat back as they knew we couldn't break them down
