"Why do you want more time?" Fourth official could not believe Arsene Wenger wanted no end to League Cup suffering
In what can only be described as an admirable self-own,
Arsene Wenger has admitted, having questioned fourth official Graham Scott as to why there was so little injury time at the end of the
League Cup final, he was asked: “Why do you want more time?”
Arsenal were comprehensively beaten by
Manchester City at Wembley, their defensive disorganisation allowing Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva to score three relatively simple goals. The gulf between the north London side and the Premier League champions elect was enormous, with many Arsenal fans heading for the exits barely a quarter of the way through the second half.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Wenger said: “We know it was difficult to come back [from 3-0 down], even the referee doesn't give the injury time, the added time, regular.
“When I said ‘Why do you not give more time?’ he told me ‘Why do you want more time?’ I told him: ‘It's not down to you to judge how long is the time, if you want or not, give a normal [amount of] added time’.”
