Tottenham's Relegation Fears Intensify After Disappointing Loss

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has expressed his concern that Tottenham Hotspur may be relegated to the Championship after their underwhelming performance in Roberto De Zerbi's first game in charge. The team's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland has left them in the relegation zone with six games remaining, and two points behind West Ham in 17th place. Despite being one of the Premier League's 'Big Six', their survival status in the top-flight is now out of their hands. Carragher stated, 'I can't believe it. Tottenham look like they're going to go down. The other teams have something going for them.' Tottenham's remaining games include matches against fellow relegation rivals Wolves and Leeds, but Carragher believes they have 'no chance' of beating even the Premier League's bottom club away from home. Gary Neville also commented on the situation, saying that any relegation for Tottenham would be a 'monstrous moment' and 'unthinkable'. Neville added, '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?' Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara ranked Spurs' chances of Premier League survival at just '10 per cent' and believes De Zerbi is not able to work 'miracles'. O'Hara said, 'They have not won this year. It will be April 18 next weekend and Spurs haven't won in the Premier League. Where are the points coming from? They need seven or eight points. Where are they coming from? I can't see it.' De Zerbi reacted after the game, saying that Spurs have to be stronger as they are in a 'bad moment' - but one win would change their season. De Zerbi told Sky Sports, 'We have to be stronger. I spoke to the players five minutes ago, and I said the same. I understand everything, I can understand it's been a tough season. We are going through a tough moment for everyone. But we have to react, we have to react with enthusiasm, the right spirit.'
