Yes, when you put it like that. I don't think anything like one third of our possession was time wasting. We clearly were slowing the game down, but that is part of the (situational) tactical plan we had to deploy, just like compact defending, counter attacking and pressing.But I'm asking you what this time wasting was. You were there, I was not.
On the radio it was clear that the goalkeeper was taking his time. But all of them do that when winning. Lament the game rather than forest for that.
What else was there?
What else could there be with only 23% possession?
We only had the ball for 23 and a half minutes of the match. No doubt well over half of that was in the first half.
So how much time wasting could we actually manage?
Don't get me wrong, I am 100%I didnt think it was that bad yesterday, but it was there. It was worse in the Billy years definitely. But it was still there. It's one of the things, along with all the diving, that I absolutely hate in football today. The one thing that ruins it for me. So I hope it doesn't become part of our game. Nothing more frustrating than when teams do it to us, to slow up the game, break rhythm etc.
No IB, it's nothing like the things you mention, those are normal tactics within the game. Time wasting is cheating, simple as.

I seem to remember him being prone to the odd flap.
Christ, the most unexpected of wins away at arguably the best team in the league and some are still finding reason to moan. Lighten up and just enjoy it you miserable fuckers!
Just watched on ifollow and we weren't time wasting anywhere near the stuff I've seen here from visiting teams.
Jenkinson 'injury' looked a bit like a tactic to break the game up, but that apart I saw nothing which crossed the line into outright gamesmanship.
