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 at Sunderland, Spurs find themselves in the relegation zone with six games remaining, two points behind West Ham in 17th place. Carragher stated, 'I just can't believe it. Tottenham look like they're going down.' He also mentioned that other relegation-threatened teams have something going for them, implying that Tottenham's situation is particularly dire. The team's performance was lackluster, creating only 0.15 Expected Goals in the second half and missing 0.91 worth of xG overall in the first half. Carragher thinks Tottenham 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 survival at just 10% and believes De Zerbi is not able to work 'miracles' with the current players. De Zerbi acknowledged that the team is in a 'bad moment' but expressed his confidence that one win could change their season. He emphasized the need for the players to believe in themselves and their teammates, stating, 'Now we have to believe more in ourselves and our team-mates. The crucial part is to win one game.'
