[Albion] Who had the WORST result this weekend?

[Bozza]

Crystal Palace 0 - 7 Liverpool
Liverpool have largely been toilet away from Anfield this season. On the road, Liverpool had only won once, and going into this fixture had gone two months and five Premier League away fixtures since that victory on the road. This run included fortunate draws at lacklustre Fulham and Brighton, as well as an absolute pounding at Aston Villa.

Liverpool had picked up fewer points on the road than Brighton, and were the proud owners of a negative goal difference on their travels.

Brighton 1 - 1 Sheffield United
Brighton were facing the side with the worst start in Premier League history. Sheffield United had only picked up a solitary point in 13 games and had failed to keep a clean sheet. Brighton had a numerical advantage after Sheffield United were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute, but the Blades managed to take a precious lead. Brighton spared themselves some (but far from all) with a late equaliser.

Manchester United 6 - 2 Leeds United
Manchester United had relegation form at Old Trafford in this campaign, picking up just five points in six fixtures, and had a goal difference of -7 in those games. The Red Devils had only scored three league goals in six fixtures at home, in a run that included an embarrassing 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, a 1-0 loss to hapless Arsenal and a 6-1 thrashing from Spurs.

Tough to say. In terms of individual games, then definitely palace. But you look at both of those Palace and Leeds teams and know that they're both going to get to safety with relative ease. Us on the other hand, whilst we didn't lose, our result is symbolic of a much more endemic issue, and a pointer to the deep lying problems in the squad. Which would be much more of a concern to me than a freak battering by the champions or being well beaten by a team of superstars that are in 3rd. An inability to beat a team on 1 point with 10 men is very worrying indeed.

The Albion. Obviously. If you can only scrape a very late equaliser against a pub team that is reduced to ten men, then it's almost laughably piss-poor

 

[Stat Brother]

Definitely ours.

The others can be written off by the gulf in class.

 

[southstandandy]

Sadly has to be us. If we can't be a team with 1 point all season, at home, with a small crowd (that currently most other clubs don't have) and played 50 odd minutes with 10 men then what hope do we have. Liverpool are always likely to do that to one or two teams a season as are Man Utd and for clubs of our size a defeat against those sides is largely expected.

Struggling to scrape a draw off a team with 1 point and 10 men takes the biscuit for me.

 

[maffew]

Us definitely. Anyone can be on the receiving end of a drubbing by Utd or Liverpool on their day once the floodgates open. Drawing, nearly losing at home to 10 men Sheffield was well, disappointing lets say

 

[sparkie]

The albion.

But we nearly always mess up when a struggler visits so we should have expected it.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Us all day long

its totally shambolic. I just can't understand why anyone thinks the results over the last year have been acceptable. its felt like one large slump.

Sheffield United are defiantly not a pub team. Most of their defeats this season have been by one goal (whereas last season they were winning by one goal), and been punished by a single individual error.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Controversially going for Leeds.

I mean, how can a team with Bielsa in charge concede six goals? Commentators were still jacking off on him with 5 minutes of the game to go...

 

[Farehamseagull]

Palace. There is no excuse for a professional side to lose that heavily to another side in the same division. Total embarrassment.

 

[Beanstalk]

I'd argue Sheffield United had the worst result. They're in desperate need of wins at the moment and had a golden-opportunity at 1-0 up with 10 man to put the game beyond doubt and give themselves a chance to turn things around. If Burke scores that they're six points of safety with some winnable games coming up. Instead, they've dropped two more points and look beyond saving already.

Aside from that it was us. We played the only team who are considerably worse than us (form and talent - Arsenal may be in worse form but have a better squad) and came up short. Palace and Leeds can at least take something from the fact they were both outplayed by better teams playing at their peaks.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Surely a draw is always better than a defeat?

 

[sparkie]

"Gamesweek" isn't over yet. Let's hope Burnley enter the worst result competition later today.

 

[TottonSeagull]

The Albion!
Couldn’t really give a toss about the other results!’

 

[NooBHA]

Sheffield United had the worst result.

They really needed a win to try and get back into the pack with a couple of wins leading up to January. If players don't see them with any chance of avoiding Relegation, no one will even want to go there, even on Loan in January

 

[Frankie]

Of the 3 mentioned ours meant the most and was the worst , Palace was the funniest , and Leeds look like a team of Kamikaze pilots who's sole purpose is to entertain Sky Sports until they go down Ala Blackpool style.

 

[Simster]

Us. To make matters worse, I didn't even chuckle at the Palace result at the time, simply because you see the Sheff Utd result coming. Our strikers are absolutely shit.

 

[A1X]

Us. We were playing the team bottom of the league at home who had only picked up 1 point all season.

The others are playing teams who qualified for the Champions League and are both in the top 4.
