In Roberto de Zerbi's first game in charge, Spurs lost 1-0 on Wearside leaving them inside the bottom three after West Ham's win against Wolves on Friday night.
"Normally, a new manager comes in and you say, 'It's his first game, that (style of play) has to go out the window'," Carragher said on Sky Sports.
"It had to go out the window for Igor Tudor and it's the same for Roberto De Zerbi because of where they find themselves.
"I can't believe it. Tottenham look like they're going to go down. The other teams have something going for them. One point in 24."
Carragher added: "You look at fixtures, you think that's a good game for Tottenham but they're awful. Do you think Tottenham will go to Wolves, bottom of the league, and win? No chance."
