I can understand in domestic football that it could get lost in the system.[LNB]Crucial "But in European football it is crucial because, later in the tournament, to miss a really important game because of that is unfair. They should look at that but they won't."[LNB]Wayne Rooney, whose wife Coleen gave birth to baby boy Kai on Monday, was introduced in the second half and made an impact.[LNB]Ferguson said: "Wayne hadn't had much sleep. I would have preferred to leave him on the bench.[LNB]"He was a safety player that we knew we could have played if we needed him - he was there.[LNB]"I think his energy and confidence was very high. He makes an impact. He is such a good player and is always capable of scoring. He was a wee bit unlucky."[LNB]
