Firstly, Martial has been effectively closed down on the left by the Russians. Every time he gets the ball, you can see one defender backing off him, and another player closing on him. That is hard to beat, and that kills one of our most potent attacking threats.
Secondly, neither of our two players up front, Rooney nor Pereira, are making runs behind their defence. They are both mostly receiving the ball with their backs to the goal, and are not taking chances to turn and dribble, mostly passing it back instead. That dribble by Pereira stands out as an exception.
Thirdly, movement off the ball is being offered only by Herrera, who hasn't found the creative passes once he gets it either. We are static, and this leads to the defence/Scmidfield standing on the ball and looking for a pass, killing the tempo of the game.
Fourth, they are sitting back comfortably after the lead, happy to hit us on the counter, well helped by Rojo who isn't marking his man effectively.
Fifth, we have been sloppy, slow and non-creative in possession, which is not how possession based teams play. We need to get the stats up. Schweinsteiger must lead by example.
Sixth, and most worrying of all, we show no desire or hunger to get back into the game by upping our performance. We look impotent and slow and sterile once we go down, a worrying habit, also noted against Swansea, Eindhoven and Arsenal. We find it hard to come back into games, because we seem to have no drive to.
Onto the next half. Hope these issues are addressed.
