Can it get any worse for Ramos at Spurs?

The team were booed off the field following their 1-0 loss to Hull City, leaving the Spanish manager with a mountain to climb.

Hull's 1-0 win at White Hart Lane means Ramos has overseen Spurs' worst start to a League season since 1912 — the year the Titanic sank.

Ramos insisted that he still has the support of chairman Daniel Levy, but midfielder Didier Zokora admitted that his boss is facing a "difficult" future while assistant Gus Poyet said things had to change quickly.

Accepting that Spurs' dire performances on the pitch this term had left his boss under intense pressure, midfielder Zokora said: "When he came in, we beat Arsenal and then won the Carling Cup, but at the moment it is difficult for Ramos because, after seven games, we have only two points.

"At the start of the season, Tottenham were tipped to finish in the top five or the top six. When we win a game, I am sure the confidence will come back, but yesterday was a very bad day.

"The manager wants to help the team and wants to give motivation, because when the manager does not give players motivation, they do not play very well.

"We need the manager to help the team, and he talked very well after the game. We worked hard, we ran a lot and created chances. We have to try again in the next game."

Director of football Damien Comolli will also see his position come under increasing scrutiny if results don't change and Poyet admitted that everyone at the club had to take the blame.

Poyet said: "The whole club, including the chairman, decided the system we put in place, so what's the problem?

"When you are in this position everyone is responsible. We have to accept we made the decision to bring in all the players and you can't blame anyone else.

"Dimitar Berbatov is gone and I don't want to blame him, he is not responsible for what is going on. The situation is not the best and it is difficult because at the start of the season we weren't thinking about being here and we have to change things quickly and we have a lot of work to do."

Spurs were much more threatening in attack than they have been in recent matches, but bad luck and poor finishing meant they were beaten yet again.

Geovanni's brilliant free-kick secured Hull's second win in north London in nine days, but Gareth Bale and Jonathan Woodgate hit the woodwork for the home side, while referee Rob Styles failed to give a penalty when Luka Modric was upended inside the box.

To make matters worse, striker Roman Pavlyuchenko limped off with an ankle injury after 35 minutes, and will have a scan today, while winger David Bentley has been dropped from the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus.

But Ramos, who signed a four-year £4million deal just under 12 months ago, said: "I am the same when we win or when we lose. Any decision on my future will not be made by me."
