Former Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson has opened up on what he aims to achieve at Tottenham Hotspur following his move as a free agent in the summer.Andy Robertson has proven to be a shrewd addition for Tottenham Hotspur since the 32-year-old full-back’s summer move as a free agent.So far this campaign, Robertson has perhaps played more Premier League football than he would have imagined, featuring in seven of Spurs’ nine league matches.He has impressed as well, providing two assists while also creating the most chances and big chances at the club.A.

We have got to win when we are on top, we have got to punish the other team. And then it is about seeing out a win.“We have not taken the lead in a match, so it is like, okay, now we need to defend leads and things like that. We have not experienced that yet, so that is the next step for us. We need to win when we are on top, we have to capitalise on it and then show we can stay on top.“That is what we have not been able to show yet because we have not been able to do it. But I believe we are getting closer and closer, and we now need to put the full package together. It cannot just be a good 20 minutes, 30 minutes, a good first half – it has got to be the full game. If we do that, I do believe the results will change.”Tottenham’s fortunes on the pitch have now changed, with the Lilywhites sitting ninth and just three points behind Robertson’s former side Liverpool, who occupy fifth place.At the moment, it does look like the Scotsman is achieving what he set out to do before his move to north London.READ MORE: Alan Shearer predicts whether Tottenham will make it four straight wins vs LeedsThe post ‘Feel valued’ – Andy Robertson on his mission to get Tottenham back where they belong appeared first on Spurs Web.
