Now people will say teams in real life have won games with 20% possession but they do that by having a rigid solid formation and are tactically brilliant. They don't have their ST playing in goal or have no players down either side if the pitch or dont have enough players in defence.
Actually I remember years ago in Scottish Premier a manager playing what would be a top11 illegal formation and winning with it. When his team was losing with half an hour of the game left he switched to 2 defenders and everyone else in midfield or upfront. A couple of times they turned the match around and won. Of course a couple of times they also got fooking destroyed, losing by 4 or 5 goals. It's competition, freak results happen. Maybe the ratio in top 11 is more than it should be, but it certainly shouldn't be zero.
