Carragher: Tottenham's Relegation Looms Large
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has expressed his belief that Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of relegation to the Championship. Following their 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, Spurs find themselves in the relegation zone with six games remaining, two points adrift of West Ham in 17th place. Carragher stated, 'I just can't believe it. Tottenham look like they're going down.' He also noted that other relegation-threatened teams have something to offer, but Tottenham's performance was particularly dismal, creating merely 0.15 Expected Goals in the second half. The team's struggles have led to a long winless run, with their last Premier League victory coming 111 days ago. With crucial matches against fellow relegation rivals Wolves and Leeds looming, Carragher thinks Tottenham have 'no chance' of securing a win, even against the Premier League's bottom club. Gary Neville has also weighed in, describing a potential Tottenham relegation as a 'monstrous moment' and 'unthinkable.' He said, 'It's as interesting as the title race... The Spurs question - can they go down? Will they go down? Is this the biggest club that's ever gone down in Premier League history?' Jamie O'Hara, a former Spurs midfielder, has ranked Tottenham's chances of survival at just 10%, saying, 'They have not won this year... Where are the points coming from? They need seven or eight points. Where are they coming from? I just can't see it.' O'Hara has criticized the team's performances, saying the players are 'nowhere near good enough' and that De Zerbi is not able to work 'miracles.' De Zerbi, however, remains optimistic, stating that one win could change the course of their season and that he needs to find a way to reach his players and make them believe in themselves. With time running out, Tottenham must regroup and find a way to salvage their season.
