‘Can’t believe it’ – Jamie Carragher believes Tottenham are going down for one big reason

Wait 5 sec.

Jamie Carragher has given an extremely gloomy assessment of Tottenham’s chances of staying up after the Lilywhites dropped into the relegation zone.While this season has been a disastrous one for Spurs so far, there was some optimism in the lead-up to the Sunderland clash.Tottenham had used the international break to make yet another managerial change, and reports indicated that Roberto De Zerbi had injected enthusiasm and positivity into the Spurs squad.However, the Spurs players were unable to translate that to the pitch and fell to yet another defeat, and following Sunday’s result, the North Londoners are now the favourites to go down, as per Opta.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesJamie Carragher claims Tottenham have ‘no chance’ of even beating WolvesCarragher believes that Spurs’ fate may have been sealed in the relegation battle after De Zerbi started his spell with a defeat.The pundit is struggling to see where Tottenham’s next win is going to come from, confidently asserting that they have “no chance” of even beating bottom-of-the-table Wolves later this month.Reacting to Spurs’ loss against Sunderland, Carragher told Sky Sports: “I can’t believe it. Tottenham look like they’re going to go down. The other [relegation threatened] teams have something going for them.”“You look at fixtures, you think that’s a good game (Wolves away) for Tottenham. But they’re awful. Tottenham’s a good game for them. Wolves are bottom of the league. Do you think Tottenham will go there, and win? No chance.” Saturday 18th April Premier League TottenhamTottenham17:30BrightonBrighton Saturday 25th April Premier League WolvesWolves15:00TottenhamTottenham Saturday 2nd May Premier League Aston VillaAston Villa12:30TottenhamTottenham Monday 11th May Premier League TottenhamTottenham20:00LeedsLeeds Sunday 17th May Premier League ChelseaChelsea15:00TottenhamTottenham Sunday 24th May Premier League TottenhamTottenham16:00EvertonEvertonGary Neville still expects Spurs to get out of troubleNeville admitted that it is ‘unthinkable’ for Tottenham to be in the Championship, declaring that it would be the biggest relegation story in Premier League history.While the former Man United man still expects the Lilywhites to stay up, he admitted that he has absolutely no confidence in that prediction.The pundit said on the Gary Neville podcast: “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?“Aston Villa are a massive club, but Tottenham have been in Champions League finals in the last five, six, seven years, and won the Europa League last year, this would be a monstrous moment.“Some say it would be good for the game because it would demonstrate competitiveness, that anybody can go down in the Premier League, just as when Leicester won it. It was the most phenomenal story that anybody can win the Premier League.“I actually like what De Zerbi did today on paper, putting Kolo Muani, Solanke and Richarlison up front as a three-pronged attack. It didn’t have great balance but I thought that they would potentially cause more problems.“They’ve lost at Sunderland and they’ve got big matches to come. The unthinkable could happen. I think they’ll just get out of it, but I’ve got no confidence to sit here and say Tottenham are safe right now. Everyone knows they’re in massive trouble and it’s the unthinkable.” Position Team Played MP Won W Drawn D Lost L For GF Against GA Diff GD Points Pts 16 Nottingham ForestNottingham Forest32 8 9 15 32 44 -12 33 17 West HamWest Ham32 8 8 16 40 57 -17 32 18 TottenhamTottenham32 7 9 16 40 51 -11 30 19 BurnleyBurnley32 4 8 20 33 63 -30 20 20 WolvesWolves32 3 8 21 24 58 -34 17 READ MORE: ‘We did not deserve to lose’ – Roberto De Zerbi says Tottenham stars need a father, not a coachThe post ‘Can’t believe it’ – Jamie Carragher believes Tottenham are going down for one big reason appeared first on Spurs Web.
