I'd also like to see us with at least 50:50 possession at home. I don't think we should be spending most of our time watching the visitors with the ball.
Isn't that what we did against Villa and Leeds though, and most teams that season? We had 35% possession against Villa and 40% against Leeds (even though they played the second half with ten men). They are two of your favourite games and you want us to recreate them while criticising Morison relentlessly for having 'rubbish possession stats' and wanting us to have at least 50% possession at home. Sunderland finished bottom in the season you're talking about and even they did the possession double over us.

You asked for people on here to wait until the end of the season before passing any judgement on Morison and, even though you seem unwilling to take your own advice, I think that's fair enough. Recent results have been good but there's plenty of room for improvement in certain areas, the next couple of months should give us an idea of the direction he's looking to take us in.
