It's not though. It doesn't really work like that. The Drogba goal came at about 75/80 mins and made it 2-0, so by that point Man Utd had to just go for it and do whatever.

If it was the goal to make it 1-0 then yeah, but football matches are about momentum.

It's like saying the Lampard disallowed goal vs Germany didn't really matter because we lost 4-1 and it would've just made it 4-2, but if you saw the game that incident was a pivotal moment in the match. England had to go out in the second half chasing the game and attack, all that happened was they left themselves exposed on the counter.
