    Could easily have had two or three goals from set pieces, converted none of them
     
    We‘ve been dross and can’t pass or find a person to save our lives and can’t get the ball out of midfield unless it’s punted over the top to the wings? If your CF isn’t getting any good service at all and only little scraps how are they supposed to do anything.
    Run channels? Hold the ball up?

    Ultimately there’s loads a striker can do other than wait for tap ins, loads that martial doesn’t do
     
    Martial is clearly not doing enough either in attacking or in pressing or fighting for the ball. It's difficult for a team to impose itself away when one player is basically a passenger. None of the other 10 have been so poor. Really disappointed in this half by Martial, I had higher hopes for him. Maybe he justifies his place in the second half but at the moment he deserveys to sit on the bench as soon as any of Sancho or Cavani become fit enough to start.

    Apparently he had 10 touches in the first half. When we had 65% of the possession. How is that good enough to cont in 2nd half?
     
    How have we not scored from one of these set pieces? Constantly threatening but just can't put them away.
     
    We will score from a set piece, it's not a matter of faith but math. There's no way we can keep missing those.
     
    Everyone's confused as to whose ball it is and the ref doesn't show anything and just lets whoever grabs the ball take the throw :lol:
     
    I don't see at which point the other players did better during the half. When you have 10 players giving you a subpar performance and when you have someone as important as Bruno barely involved in your game, the issue is collective. There is no way around it.

    Pogba has been lively moving the ball forward, the one pass out for a throw notwithstanding. Greenwood has been very good himself, just needs someone to link up with. Maguire has dealt with corners and long balls, Shaw has won may 50-50s driving into their half. Bruno had the highest number of key passes in that first half.

    It's clearly on a few players. As I type this Martial misses a header from a corner.
     
    Really hope we sign Trippier, already sick of AWB his lazy defending and zero impetus going forward.
     
    Southampton getting ridiculously lucky. Now had close to a 3 xG swing there way. United being 2-0 up would be a more accurate reflection of the match.
