Carragher: Tottenham Relegation Looms
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Tottenham Hotspur are on the brink of relegation after a dismal performance in their 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, leaving them in the relegation zone with six games remaining. Spurs, who are two points off West Ham in 17th place, created just 0.15 worth of Expected Goals in the second half and were wasteful in the first half, missing 0.91 worth of xG overall. "I'm shocked, Tottenham look like they're going down," Carragher said. The team's survival status in the top-flight is now out of their hands. Tottenham have six games to save their season, including matches against fellow relegation rivals Wolves and Leeds, but Carragher thinks they have "no chance" of beating even the Premier League's bottom club away from home. Gary Neville described a potential Tottenham relegation as a 'monstrous moment' and 'unthinkable', given their recent Champions League finals and Europa League win. Jamie O'Hara, a former Spurs midfielder, ranked Tottenham's chances of Premier League survival at just "10 per cent" and believes De Zerbi is not able to work "miracles" with the current players. De Zerbi says Spurs have to be stronger as they are in a "bad moment" but one win would change their season. "We have to be stronger... we have to react with enthusiasm, the right spirit," De Zerbi said.
