    I read on Opta stats that Cluj completed only 50 passes against Galatasaray the other night, so how do they measure possession. If we time wasted more on free kicks or throw ins is that our possession or what? Stats cand be useful if good but possession means * all if you're winning it's points that count not possession!

    Well done to Barca, shows how organised we were though because they have had a number of years to learn how to break down teams and they struggled to do so against the mighty leather belts.

    Even if it was 90% who cares?

    They had something like 86% against Chelsea and their team cost millions.

    Barca do this to every team.

    People pay far too much attention to statistics, when it comes to football, these days. Things like possession stats are for pseudo intellectual football fans to wet their pants over.

    I really couldn't give a horses * what the possession stats were on Tuesday night. The bottom line, and the only thing that matters, is that Celtic did really well and can be proud of their performance.

    Was a good defensive performance from us, obviously there's areas we can improve. We needed to be a but tidier in possession and set up more counter attacks.

    I wouldn't dwell on these stats probably pish anyway. Let's keep in mind that we have just played arguably the greatest team ever and came within 30 seconds of snatching a draw. Cant wait for the home tie!

    The only people who are going to attach any importance to this are people who are looking to discredit the performance we put in the other night. ie. Zombies, the media etc

    They should take a look in the mirror and ask themselves what their club was doing while we were playing in the Nou Camp.
