Ferguson Expected Giggs To Take The Penalty
The Reds dropped points at Craven Cottage when they missed a penalty while leading 2-1 late on.
Nani stepped up instead of veteran Giggs and had his effort saved by David Stockdale.
“We had an opportunity to seal it with a penalty with a few minutes to go,” said Ferguson.
“Score then you are home and dry. But the height is crucial to a penalty and it was a bad height.
“I thought Ryan Giggs should have taken it – in the last game Ryan scored two penalties and Nani was on the pitch.
“You don’t want to be dropping silly points – and we dropped silly points here. We didn’t take the opportunity.”
