Spurs were beaten 2-1 at Aston Villa on Saturday and are languishing seventh in the Premier League table, without a permanent manager.
Meanwhile, former players gathered for a charity game at Bishop’s Stortford to pay tribute to the late father of Tottenham head kitman Steve Dukes and in aid of Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.
The ex-Spurs stars, managed by Harry Redknapp, played against a Celebrity XI featuring the likes of Yaya Toure and Mark Wright.
Tom Huddlestone posted a dressing room snap to Twitter of the Tottenham squad after the match.
And football fans joked the former players would beat the current underperforming Spurs team.
One replied to Huddlestone: “This squad beats the current squad. 100%”
Another joked: “These lot would still beat the current squad now!”
A third said: “All of these lads would get in the team today I’m convinced.”

And a fourth added: “This team finishes higher than Spurs now.”
Huddlestone’s snap features Spurs players from different eras… but can you guess who they are?
The ex-midfielder was joined in the picture by former goalkeepers Heurelho Gomes and Michel Vorm.
Also lining up for the snap was Edgar Davids, Jermain Defoe, Ledley King, Robbie Keane, Danny Rose, Younes Kaboul, Sandro, Aaron Lennon, Sebastien Bassong, Pascal Chimbonda, Michael Dawson and Wilson Palacios.
But Palacios, who flew in from Miami for the match, had to be stretchered off after just two minutes of action.
Spurs won the game 7-1, with Defoe proving he still has an eye for goal by netting a hat-trick.
