Ferguson vows to avoid paranoia

31 March 2011 08:30
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is determined not to become paranoid about the decisions which have gone against his team in their recent clashes with Chelsea. The teams will meet in the Champions League quarter-finals next week, and also have a Barclays Premier League match at Old Trafford in May, which could have an impact on the title race. Ferguson was given a five-match touchline ban and a £30,000 fine by the Football Association following his verbal attack on referee Martin Atkinson at Stamford Bridge in February. Ferguson believes there have been more instances of incorrect calls going against his side in recent matches against Chelsea. He told ESPN Press Pass: "I think the last few games we've had terrible decisions against us and you've just got to be careful you don't have paranoia about it. "But ability-wise we're a good team, we played exceptionally well at Chelsea in the last game. We were very, very unlucky and we didn't deserve to lose the game."
