Ex-Liverpool and Tottenham striker Peter Crouch says Spurs will fire Igor Tudor if they lose at Anfield this weekend — an outcome that he views as close to inevitable.

Tudor only took over on an interim basis four games ago. But in that time, Tottenham has lost to Arsenal, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Atletico Madrid with little hope of an upturn in form so far.

Heading into the clash against Liverpool, Spurs have lost six games on the spin — a record that is the worst in the club's history — and Crouch, as a result, simply can't see anything other than a home win.

"I just can't see any way that Tottenham will get a result," Crouch told Paddy Power. "The last few results have been woeful.

"Atletico was a shambles certainly in the first 20 mins, Crystal Palace was so disheartening, Fulham felt like a must-win game, they got battered there, and got battered by Arsenal really.

"When you look at the games, I just can't see it at all (a Spurs win). I think they could get hammered, then after this game, it could be Igor Tudor’s last game."

In his pre-match press conference, Tudor admitted that this week — in which his team was hammered in the Champions League and he substituted his goalkeeper after an error-strewn 17 minutes — has been difficult.

"Tough, for sure," he said. "Not just because of last game, but because of the period and the past. Not easy situation, not an easy moment and from other side a big challenge to change things.

"Like everything in life, you can choose how to see the situation. So, you can stay and cry or you can fight. You can be the victim or you can say I can change something. This is the message I want to start and what I told to the players.

"Everyone speaking, everyone has opinions and the life is always how you see it. The bottle is always half empty or half full. Here there is nothing full, there is a lot of empty things but difficult moments don’t last forever.

"It will pass and I believe the players who will take this as a challenge, as an opportunity will stand up with the courage to change things, after this period they will become better people and better players.

"So, in tough moments it’s always about that, it’s always about us. In the last period, a lot of things about what is the club, the problems, no one can do nothing and this like victim-ism, like we were victims.

"I said this morning to the players totally opposition things. We are the team and we are the staff. It’s all about us. All the bull ----, all the other things are bull ---- and sorry to use this word, but it’s on us."
