Time wasting is part of the dark arts. We've lost lots of stuff on football. We cant lose that aswell.
What can be done though is referees consistantly get a grip of it. They dont as you well know.
Same as cheating. If its not a foul then book them for diving. It will eventually stop.

Make sure you come back later for the discussion over whether Salah dived to win the penalty today.

Time wasting is as much cheating as diving.

Rashford was horrific. I wonder if he has the equivalent of dartitis for darts players, or the yips for golfers. It is like he gets into a dangerous position, and then can't kick a ball. He just lets it roll and then falls over. No effort once he loses ball, just head down.
Mind you, Bruno poor yet again. Need someone like him to control possession, but he just gives it away.
Still, Utd were never going to suddenly be fantastic once Rangnick came in. So at least they got 3 points. It'll be interesting how he deals with today's performance.

Rashford seems to get a free pass.
He’s bang average,can’t even play the “potential” card anymore at 24.
I can’t see Utd seriously challenging for the title for the next 5yr.
One of the most overrated players ever to wear the shirt. Not that long ago the price tag of £130m was ridiculously being talked about in relation to Rashford. If any club was daft enough to offer even half that I would rip their arm off.
Others will mention his stats. I just say watch him. He is absolutely bloody infuriating.

Him & Lingard have robbed a living.
They’ll probably be playing for Newcastle next season on £300k p wk.
When Cavani is fit Rashford will be on the bench.
I just get the feeling with Rangnick that he will not suffer players who are either not good enough or who don’t pull their weight. Rashford fell well into both categories today. There was one moment in the first half when he gave the ball away about thirty yards out and just stood there, arms outstretched, and made no effort to redeem himself. It was like watching an U11’s striker who thinks it’s beneath him to defend.
in the last dozen or so years we have seen a number of young players come through the ranks, make really promising starts to their careers, and then their progress stalls. Rashford is the latest example, and his supporters can no longer keep banging on about injuries. He simply isn’t good enough.
He would not get regular starts at Chelsea, Liverpool or City. If United want to compete with those sides consistently Rashford should not get regular starts with us. I think Rangnick will take a good look at his players in the next few weeks and then we’ll start seeing him stamp his mark.

Rashford has been playing injured for years and has taken his eye off the game football wise. Worringly he looks to have lost his pace and that was what made him so good. Without that he's not the same player.
Utd were woeful and I still can't understand the logic behind appointing Rangnick. He's a manager who builds clubs up with young players through intense coaching and even then, he's hardly won a trophy. No proper big club has touched him and he was on the scrapheap im Russia about to retire. He's not suited to installing a total change of style mid way through a season with players that have big egos and have been allowed to become lazy for a few years. His style is narrow and Utd have always been about wingers.
Klopp and the others might have learnt their style under him years ago but the difference is they added more to it and have left him behind.

Man City penalty - never a penalty.
Liverpool penalty - tangle of legs and a penalty.
Chelsea 2nd penalty - soft but a foul and a penalty.
Villa non penalty - not convinced there was enough in it. If it goes against you you're not happy but if it's your team you're screaming for it.
Man Utd penalty - absolutely no chance that Pukki would've been given it at Old Trafford.
