It has been a domestic season to forget for Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou.
The Spurs boss was a picture of despair on several occasions during Sunday's defeat to Wolves, that exposed all their glaring frailties that have left his side just two points above Wolves in the table - and put his position in jeopardy.
Their place in the Europa League remains their only glimmer of hope and even that could be gone by Thursday after their crucial return tie in Frankfurt.
"Tottenham are not competitive," said former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison on BBC Radio 5 Live. "If they don't win on Thursday then I can't see Postecoglou being in the job by Saturday.
"That is how toxic the place is at the moment.
"He can't buy a win! All the players are back and there are still no results, so it is nowhere near good enough."
But even if Spurs do progress in the Europa League, or even win the competition, should there be question marks over Postecoglou's position next season?
"People are having the conversation now about whether he deserves the chance to stay on if they win the Europa League - and I just don't see it," added Nigel Reo-Coker. "It reminds me of Erik ten Hag and how he won the FA Cup and people got caught up in the emotion so wanted him to be kept on.
"How do you see this getting better for Spurs? It is the same week-in week-out."
Only the current bottom three clubs – Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich - have lost more Premier League games than Tottenham (17) this season, while it's the most defeats they have suffered in a league campaign since 2003-04.
"They are that bad, they probably will finish 17th," said Re-Coker. "They are so fortunate that those three teams have been that awful this season and didn't have enough about themselves.
"If they had been more competitive then I wouldn't have been surprised to see Tottenham in the relegation zone. They are that bad.
"They are awful to watch and they are not a team. Yes, the injury situation played a little part, but now all of those players are fit so it is not good enough."
