Managers like Allardyce and Pulis have an appeal within a remit, at least to owners, with the remit being it's almost certain a relegation threatened club will be less likely to go down. Bruce doesn't fall into that category at all though. He has no notable talents in any department and it's been proven over the decades of experience he keeps referring to.

:lol: Why did I laugh at this too, such a shit insult

So this one might actually be one of the worst performances we've ever put in. We've had bigger hidings involving greater individual mistakes, but this one has just not even had a pulse. We've had absolutely nothing whatsoever.

The dust just won't come off, Steve.

Double garbage from Lewis.

I want us to stay up for takeover purposes but if we're losing this then I will happily see us down tools and take a hiding.

Ritchie puts the effort in but he's just a poor player now.

He is, unfortunately, up there with our worst ever players, at least in my lifetime of watching us. The fee paid is barely even a significant factor at this point, he's just been dreadful overall since signing.

I thought I misheard that. Absolutely astonishing comment; we were every bit as bad tonight

Am I mis-hearing or has Carragher suggested that the difference in performance between Sheff Utd and Arsenal like having a new manager?

Neville going on about Arsenal like they are world class. I can't understand any defence of that performance.

It's easy to see the players as championship standard when they are so disorganised, off form and without confidence. We have enough on-pitch ability to finish a season in a comfortable season... with a competent manager.

Imagine leaving a man up the field for a defensive set piece. The nerve of Arsenal.

Despite some clear weaknesses in certain positions; there's more than enough for a competent manager to work with in the squad.

I feel like the "worst performance we've ever put in" line gets used too frequently, but it genuinely looks like the players are seeing it as a challenge

Nah, just a slight bit of the left hand side was in. Interesting they never showed the 1 frame afterwards which would have shown it to be out. Every game, you love to see it

I'm sure this is going to be said numerous times over the coming months.

Bring Murphy on in place of Carroll and then continue to lump it up

The players literally have no idea whatsoever what to do

The commentator's assessment of us being slightly less shit is so condescending. Like praising your child's shit drawing

Missed the first few mins of the half and sat down to the goal going in. Game has gone now, so we might as well take a hiding.

Referee is clearly enjoying the game, couldn't blow the whistle quick enough.

Joelinton submitting possession when facing goal, to a back-to-goal Carroll says everything about the player.

Almiron is getting lots of space. You'd think that if we're so intent on crossing the ball he would be better served on the left.

Can’t change things overnight m8 Or even over 18 months; silly me.
