What to know

  • Tottenham sit at the bottom of the Premier League with just 2 points from 5 matches, despite spending £380 million on 10 summer signings under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
  • Robertson argues the primary obstacle is psychological: the squad must shed the burden of two consecutive 17th-place finishes and avoid panic when conceding or facing adversity.
  • As a high-profile free transfer from Liverpool, Robertson positions himself and other new arrivals as agents of change, claiming they lack the baggage of prior poor seasons and can drive improvement.
  • Robertson believes securing the first win of the season will be crucial to shifting team momentum and unlocking better performances going forward.

“Maybe we're still guilty of carrying that weight of last season on our shoulders. That's the message of the manager, first and foremost. And also that kind of falls on me, the new players, if we need to forget.”
