Ask my Cottagers.
Last season in the second division, Fulham DOMINATED time of possession, but even then did not have as many goals as they should have given how long they held onto the ball.
This year, same thing, only worse.

Possession is more positively correlated to success than negatively, but the significance is not always strong. Analysis of possession stats requires you to consider the tactics of the teams. Some good ones (not the outgunned parking the bus types) are built around clinical countering and consistently lose possession.
You ultimately can't look at the possession numbers on their own and get a feel for how the match actually went.
