In a disappointing match for Tottenham, they experienced their third straight defeat in the Premier League, losing 3-0 to arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday. The loss has intensified concerns over their position in the league, placing them at 17th and just four points away from the relegation zone. Former players and analysts have expressed alarm at Tottenham's performance, highlighting their struggles in comparison to Arsenal, who displayed superior skill and organization throughout the match.

Jamie Redknapp, a former Liverpool player and current sports commentator, described Tottenham's performance as abysmal, emphasizing the glaring disparity between the two teams. He remarked that the difference in playstyle and execution was so pronounced that it seemed like they belonged to different divisions. Gary Neville, another former player and current commentator, echoed these sentiments, warning that Tottenham is indeed in trouble and must reconsider their tactics if they wish to avoid relegation.

The threat of relegation looms large for Tottenham, who narrowly escaped it last season by finishing in 17th place with only 38 points. With just seven league victories so far this season, the vulnerability of the London club is evident, as they have not been relegated to a lower division since the 1977/78 season. Analysts predict that if Tottenham does not turn their performance around, they risk suffering relegation for the first time in decades, a situation that seems unfathomable to many dedicated fans and stakeholders of the club.
