Fergie. Hypocrite?

Was he really moaning about time wasting by spurs?
Quote." Its denying you a proper chance to win a football match."

Come off it Fergie.
I very much doubt he would have moaned if his side were 3-2 up.
I wasn't at the game so dont know how excessive any perceived ' time wasting' tactics were.
Is he right to whinge about it?
Would his players have done the same if they were winning?

I was looking at your bench today thinking how lucky we were that Cleverley, Welbeck and Rooney weren't starting. The game would have been very different if they had.

I commented on the match thread earlier about time wasting after about 60mins. Friedel putting the ball down ready to take a goalkick, then taking another 45 seconds or so before actually taking it.

Why is it only United games where there is an issue with added time? I think the guidline is 30 secs per goal scored and 30 secs for each substitution. If you actually factor in timewasting by Spurs it should have been longer than 4 mins.

Last week at Liverpool there were 5 mins signalled by the 4th official. We played 7 mins 30 secs. Why was nothing said about that. Is added time only an issue if United need to score?

All I am saying is that he did say 'our defence was poor' and 'Nani made a meal of the penalty'. May be both are true. But what is much more obvious ahead of these 2 points is that Giggs was atrocious. People say he is protecting players but he is only protecting the players he wants to.

all 3 goals they scored were down to poor defending. Not Giggs.

We dont have a midfield problem at all.

Sir Alex just refuses to use fit, young and ready midfielders over a passed it left winger.

Giggs wasn't at fault for the first two goals anyway.

Both goals the spurs players were just allowed to run through with no challenges it was embarrassing to watch.

Fergie should let the youngsters have a game after that shocking display.
They can't really do worse than what we've seen in recent weeks can they?

Rafael Wooten Evans Buttner
Nani Cleverley Anderson Kagawa
Rooney
RVP

Why not?

I'm surprised he was crying about time wasting, it's nothing new, it's the reason we have Fergie time in the first place. When teams are up at united, they find all and every way to stay ahead, and time wasting is one of them. It's then inevitable there will be a sizeable amount of injury time. If teams want to see less Fergie time, stop wasting time. Simple.

But for Fergie to highlight this as one of the reasons we lost is laughable. The reason we lost was because he picked the wrong team, and I hope to god he realises this. Because if he doesn't, we're *****d.
