Ange Postecoglou will soon get the sack in the wake of Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
That's according to former Gunners star Emmanuel Petit, who thinks the Australian is on borrowed time following his side's defeat in the north London derby.
Tottenham were in dreamland when they went ahead, with Son Heung-min notching in the 25th minute.
Yet a Dominic Solanke own goal drew Arsenal level, with Leandro Trossard proceeding to score the winning goal just before half time.

The result was a bad one for Tottenham, who have endured a frustrating season so far.
They currently sit 13th in the Premier League table, just eight points above the relegation zone, having won seven of their 21 league matches.
And Petit, speaking to talkSPORT, feels Postecoglou 'will get the sack' soon enough following last night's drama.
The former Arsenal star, who won two major trophies with the Gunners during his playing days, said: "I was watching Ange Postecoglou and he must be feeling really alone on the pitch tonight.

“I think things are probably coming to the end for him. I think that something has to change.
“We can see the league, we can see the faces of the players tonight on the pitch and they look so miserable, nobody looks like themselves.
“As I said, I think something has to change at Spurs so I think he will get the sack."
Tottenham have been plagued by injury issues this term.

Cristian Romero, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Micky Van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur are all sidelined at the current moment in time.
But Petit insists injuries are no excuse for Tottenham's poor showings this season.
The Frenchman added: "Injuries are something very important to deal with but they have enough quality in the squad.
“Look at the players on the pitch, look at Son – he was amazing on the pitch for five years.

“Something is broken in this team and you can’t sack all of the players and so you have to make the easiest decision and that’s to sack the manager.
