Whichever game it was when Steve Bruce yanked Ben Arfa in the first half. I feel any player can have a bad day but it takes an utter clown to be yanked for a lack of professionalism.
Alberto Moreno losing Mata on every run he made in the Juanfield game.
Loris Karius vs Real Madrid in the CL final.

Could name pretty every other Brazilian instead of him. David Luiz always get singled out when it was a collective failure. The pictures of him crying are too memorable.

Didn't Jon Walters have a game where he missed a pen and scored an own goal?
EDIT: it was a missed pen + 2 own goals actually :lol:

Also Morata vs Arsenal when he missed 3 huge chances.

Jamie Carragher - Liverpool vs United. He scored two own goals and generally performed terribly. He also hit the post, robbing him of a well-deserved hat trick of own goals.

United won the game 3-2. Thanks, Jamie.

Slippy G against Chelsea when he slipped and single-handedly cost Liverpool a league title.

Balotelli vs Barcelona that year Inter won CL. He played only 15 minutes but my god I havent seen a worse performance in such an important game.

Massimo Taibi against Chelsea. Looked like he'd never played a professional game in his life.

For us Moreno's performance in the Europa League finals comes to mind. If we had Robertson back then that'd be win for sure.

Coutinho was also horrible in that game, but that was more of a case of being completely invisible rather than making actual mistakes.

Cavani vs Metz. Probably the worst performance I've seen from a striker.

Pogba coming off the bench against Sevilla was one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

I would actually say Fernandinho was even worse than Luiz in THAT game.

I think 2 possibly 3 of those early 5 goals started with him getting robbed in a dangerous area.

That Prunier dude who got grandfathered in by Cantona had an absolute mare against Spurs and got subsequently shot back through the channel tunnel the following day.

Shane Duffy for Blackburn away to Cardiff in 2016/2017, with 2 own goals and a red card we lost 2-1. 4 days earlier we lost 3-0 away to Wigan with their 3rd goal another Duffy own goal. So 3 consecutive goals across 2 of our matches were Duffy own goals.

Zat Knight produced one of the worst all round performances I’ve ever seen, for Fulham against us at the Cottage in 2004/2005, with non-stop terrible defending and numerous blunders including for our first goal, very nearly scoring an own goal, then getting giving away the penalty for our second goal and getting sent off with a handball.

Vieria vs United in the 99 semi cup final...he was outstanding in the first game but struggled in the second game even before THAT pass to Giggs

Ince vs Everton 95, was pretty poor, probably knew he was leaving.

Ronaldo vs Chelsea 06 , absolutely awful performance from him and the team when Chelsea wrapped up the title at OT that season.

Ronaldo vs Benfica 05 . Subbed and then flipped off the Benfica fans as he left the field.

Bailly vs PSG was a bit of nightmare :nervous:
