As 18-year-old Archie Gray turned the ball into his own net in first-half stoppage time of Tottenham's trip to Everton to put the Toffees 3-0 up, goodness only knows what was running through Ange Postecoglou's mind as he stood lonely on the edge of his technical area.
Spurs were sliding to their eighth defeat in 10 Premier League games, a run which has only seen one win - a 5-0 walkover of 20th-placed Southampton. This is relegation form, and the north Londoners should be a tad thankful the true contenders for the drop are already a fair bit adrift of safety already.
Watching on from above in the Goodison Park precipice were chairman Daniel Levy, executive director Donna-Maria Cullen and chief football officer Scott Munn. At least they didn't have to stomach going over to the volatile away section come full-time.
There's some pretty stiff competition, but Tottenham are the Premier League's number-one basket case right now, and everyone at the club has to do some soul searching. It does, however, feel increasingly likely that the person who will pay the price first will be Postecoglou.
Tottenham have been dealt a huge injury blow as forward Dominic Solanke faces a period on the sidelines with a knee problem.

Tottenham Hotspur have not secured a major trophy since winning the League Cup in 2008, despite growing into a financial powerhouse under chairman Daniel Levy's leadership.
The club consistently competes for a top-four finish and has mounted challenges for the Premier League title on several occasions, though they have yet to claim the championship. Nevertheless, their pursuit of greatness has seen them regularly qualify for European competitions, including the Champions League and Europa League.
In recent years, Spurs have added notable players to their squad, such as James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, and Pedro Porro. However, they still lag behind their direct rivals — Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool — both in financial power and on-field performance.
