Juan Mata is frustrated that Manchester United keep falling short due to a lack of killer instinct.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men started the season with a thumping 4-0 win against Chelsea, but things have gone awry in front of goal since then.
United blew the chance to win at Wolves and that 1-1 draw was followed by a chastening 2-1 home loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.
Saturday's trip to Southampton was another winless match for the Reds, who saw Daniel James' brilliant opener cancelled out by Jannik Vestergaard.
Even Kevin Danso's second-half dismissal for the hosts could not inspire United, who have five points from their opening four matches following that 1-1 draw.
"Two points dropped," attacking midfielder Mata said. "We were expecting Southampton (to have) some chances and play some good football for some moments.
"I think we have to come to these kind of games and win and come back to Manchester with three points or the feeling is frustration and two points dropped again.
"(It was a) very good goal, a fantastic finish," Mata told MUTV. "He's a very hard-working player.
"He gave us a lot on the wing and even in the second half when everyone was a bit tired, he was still sprinting and giving very dangerous crosses.
"(I'm) very happy for him and hopefully he can do it many more times.
"Football is easier right, if you are that quick? He takes advantage of that.
"He goes one against one and it's very difficult for a defender to take the ball off him. We need to use him even more."
Saints rode their luck at times but defended well on the whole, with Vestergaard impressing at the back and scoring an impressive leveller.
"We're very happy with a point," the centre-back said. "I think we deserved it already against Liverpool, when we didn't get it, but today we were rewarded for the hard work we put in.
"It was our game plan to go out there and shake them a little bit – make them uneasy – because when they get comfortable, they're obviously very good and have world-class players."
