PSR and squad depth lacking McGuinn big loss inject first half Torres absolute shocking at the back Martínez should have caught the ball lack of urgency when going forward let's hope the Monchi replacement has a few irons on the go before the window shuts.

Not for the first time I have been consistent on Torres, Lindaloff is better by a mile and Mings is a safer bet, so Tom you will soon been a minority Torres is not good enough as a central defender. Moyes targeted his heading ability from the kick off and throughout the game. At best he is back up. I heard a fan in front of me saying we sold the wrong striker, Watkins was again poor, not in his own I agree. Who ever sanctioned Malens sale before we at least got an adequate replacement should be made to tell us why, forget PSR this just a foolish and reckless decision. Injuries have obviously hurt us but my worry is that every team will now have sussed Moyes tactics today.
This ridiculously slow play from our defence needs modifying we are far too easy to play against. Mcginn was obviously missed and certainly impacted our play. Our bench today was not a solution to up our attacking options when we went behind. We have a lot of games coming up and any repeat of today's woeful performance will see us slipping down the table and I genuinely think top 5 could be in serious jeopardy. Emery will obviously address today's shortcomings unfortunately I don't think we have the players at the moment to achieve anything. Hope I'm way off the mark unfortunately I don't think I am.

Scotty remind me how many games have we lost recently? we can’t be 100% every game this result was bound to happen sometime. Re Torres, whatever you or I think Torres will be Emery’s first choice at left centre back for his ability to bring the ball out from the back.

LOTM, my concern is what we are going to lose in the future, Passing a ball is not enough for a top premier league defender, defender being the operative word, Torres is not a good enough defender and his passing often isn't that good, we looked more stable at the back with Lindaloff.
