There is no end to Tottenham Hotspur's fall, which marks its first season after Son Heung-min (34) left for LAFC. Even legends who have been through all their careers seem to be convinced of Tottenham's relegation.

British media "Sky Sports" highlighted on the 13th (Korea Standard Time), saying, "Former Liverpool defender Carragher is confident of Tottenham's relegation this season."

Earlier, Tottenham lost 0-1 to Sunderland in the 32nd round of the 2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL) at Stadium of Light in Sunderland, England. As a result of this day, Tottenham fell to 18th place, the relegation zone, with 7 wins, 9 draws and 16 losses in the season and 30 points.

Even the second firefighter could not save Tottenham. This was new coach Roberto De Gerby's first game. With only six games remaining due to the defeat, Tottenham widened the gap with 17th-ranked West Ham United, the remaining Maginot line, to two points.

Legendary defender Carragher was also shocked by Tottenham's poor performance. According to Sky Sports, he said, "I can't believe it. Tottenham look set to be relegated right now. Other teams in the relegation zone strongly criticized Tottenham, saying, "It seems like there is room for a rebound."

Carragher then stressed, "If you go to the Wolverhampton Wanderers, the bottom of the league, and ask if Tottenham can win, my answer is absolutely impossible."

Manchester United's legendary defender Gary Neville also said, "Tottenham's relegation will be the most shocking event in EPL history," adding, "It is hard to even think that the team that reached the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final and won the Europa League (UEL) last year will be relegated. "Whether other teams put pressure on the front or down, we have to focus on the play, but now everything has collapsed," he expressed concern.

Statistics also proved Tottenham's lethargy. Tottenham had an expected score (xG) of only 0.15 in the second half of the game against Sunderland. In the first half, he showed serious determination to score an expected score of 0.91, but not score a single goal.

It's as if he's forgotten his victory. Tottenham will not have won in 111 days in the EPL when it comes time to play Brighton and Hove Albion next.

Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara also said: "It's shocking. Tottenham didn't do anything. ㅎAll the players, including Charlisson, Dominic Solanke, Langdal Colo Muani and Conor Gallagher, were the worst," he said. "I brought Solanke for 60 million pounds (about 120 billion won) as a substitute for Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), but I think he forgot how to play soccer. Tottenham has only a 10% chance of staying," he said.

For now, Tottenham's new head coach has started to settle the mood. "Tottenham should be stronger," De Zerby said after the game. It's a difficult moment, but if you win just one game, you can change everything," he said. "The problem is not tactics, but mental strength. I want to find a way to convey my thoughts in the players' heads," he said.
