slipped up big time

...if you want to maintain the "すべる" in there somehow, but you could also say something like:

totally sucked
lost the plot completely
just couldn't get it right
performed poorly
...etc., in varying degrees of nicety, depending on how it fits in with the rest of the text...
HTH a little...
