You’re a disgrace – Carragher blasts Sheffield Utd after 6-0 defeat to Arsenal

Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has branded Sheffield United’s first half against Arsenal as a “disgrace” and the worst he had ever seen.

The Gunners put five past their hosts in the opening 45 minutes, to equal the joint-largest leading margin at half-time in a Premier League match.

In doing so, the Blades became the first team in English football history to concede five goals in four consecutive home games across all competitions.

“That first half from Sheffield United was a disgrace,” Carragher said.

“It’s one of the most one-sided games of football I’ve ever seen.

“To consider you come into this game on the back of losing two Premier League home games 5-0, that’s shocking – it really is. It’s probably one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen.”

Sheffield United are currently bottom of the table, 11 points adrift of safety.
