Petit, 54, was a legend at Arsenal, winning the Premier League and FA Cup in 1998.

However, he insisted that he has sympathy for their bitter North London rivals.

Ange Postcoglou‘s side were beaten 3-2 at Goodison Park by Everton on the weekend.

The result has left the club slumped in 15th place in the Premier League with 12 defeats already.

The Australian manager’s position has been left under threat with the pressure of the sack mounting.

Petit said: “I feel pity for the Spurs fans to be honest.

“When I watch them it is the body language that worries me the most.

“They are playing with such big players out, and they need to have a plan, and I don’t see that.

“I feel pity because Postecoglou when I look at him, because he looks so miserable.

“I have respect for him, but he looks like there is nothing else he can do.
