Abbi Summers suggests Tottenham should concede their Liverpool clash to avoid more humiliation.

Abbi Summers has suggested Tottenham might as well forgo their trip to Anfield this Sunday and accept a 3-0 forfeit loss to Liverpool.

The Lilywhites are enduring one of the bleakest periods in their history, having gone 11 Premier League games without a win, plunging them into a serious relegation battle. New boss Igor Tudor has had a nightmare start since replacing Thomas Frank last month, losing all four matches under his watch.

Things worsened midweek when Spurs were hammered 5-2 by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Tudor’s rocky start has already sparked doubts over his future at the club. Reports claim his handling of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky during the Atletico clash caused friction in the squad, adding tension in the dressing room.

The situation could get even uglier this weekend at Anfield. Sitting 16th and just one point above the relegation zone, Spurs risk slipping into the bottom three if results go against them. History offers little comfort: Tottenham have won just one of their last 16 Premier League clashes with Liverpool, while the Reds have lost only once in their previous 31 home league games against Spurs and remain unbeaten at Anfield against them since May 2011.

Given these challenges, Summers suggested Spurs might be better off accepting a 3-0 defeat rather than risking the trip. With up to 11 first-team players potentially unavailable—including suspended defender Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, who suffered a head injury against Atletico—she argued the match could worsen Spurs’ problems.

Summers added that forfeiting would save the team from traveling and minimize the risk of further injuries or suspensions.

Ending on a grimly humorous note, she predicted a heavy defeat if the game goes ahead, joking that even struggling Liverpool stars like Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo could score hat-tricks in what might become a 6-1 thrashing.
Her verdict was clear: Tottenham should accept the 3-0 loss and focus on survival.
