It's beyond tragic now.

[Ash]

We've prided ourselves for years on not being the sort of club that reaches for the pearl-handled revolver at the first signs of difficulty. As I often point out, if we were of that sort, we would have sacked Wenger after the 8-2 as that was exactly the kind of performance, and especially result, that gets you your papers handed to to you.

This is not the first sign of difficulty. It is beyond the point where almost everyone thinks it is time.
