Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur fans will love what the Scottish press is saying about Andy Robertson after his latest showing in the Nations League.Several Spurs players have come in for major criticism during the international break, with some of them perhaps being short of confidence after Tottenham’s poor start to the season.Sandro Tonali, in particular, has received a lot of heat from the Italian media, with Spurs’ record signing failing to have the kind of impact expected from him in the middle of the park.However, another of the club’s summer signings, Andy Robertson, who created history by winning his 100th Scotland cap on Saturday, is being hailed in Scotland.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram‘Mightily impressive’ Tottenham star Andy Robertson hailed after milestoneThe left-back became just the second Scottish player in history to reach 100 caps, and he is now chasing down the record holder, Kenny Dalglish, who has 102.Robertson posted some excellent individual numbers in his usual left wing-back slot as his side emerged with a 2-0 away win from North Macedonia.The Scotsman wrote about the full-back: “A landmark game for the captain as he won his 100th cap. He was mightily impressive until the 83rd minute when a short pass put McKenna in trouble, otherwise his mark would be higher. Rampaged up the left flank and looked in the mood to score, with three efforts raining down on Dimitrievski. A night to remember for a Scotland legend. Eight.”The National stated: “A performance befitting of becoming Scotland’s second-ever centurion. Showed his intent with four strikes in the first half as he blitzed forward and caused North Macedonia problem after problem. Rarely challenged defensively, meaning he had the freedom to charge forward and do his best work in the opposition half. A professional display, especially after Scotland reduced to ten, in the words of James McFadden, ‘A man possessed’. Eight.”Finally, The Scottish Sun wrote: “Joined King Kenny as Scotland centurion. Close to bagging fifth Scotland goal on big night after just four minutes but fierce strike was tipped over. Went close again twice in fittingly polished display…Eight.”Roberto De Zerbi has a difficult selection decision ahead of Man Utd clashRobertson has evidently been in excellent form across the international break, but he has already played three matches of 90 minutes each over the past couple of weeks.A.

De Zerbi faces a tough decision over whether to start a fresh Destiny Udogie against Man United or an in-form but slightly fatigued Robertson.Or could he even use Robertson at right-back instead of Archie Gray? What’s better, a right-footed midfielder at right-back or a left-footed left-back?READ MORE: Dele Alli calls Harry Kane to back old Tottenham teammate for Ballon d’OrThe post Tottenham just signed 'a man possessed' for free as national media rave about 8/10 showing appeared first on Spurs Web.
