Liverpool made a big mistake this summer and Tottenham profited, says Alan Hutton

Wait 5 sec.

Alan Hutton believes that one of Tottenham’s most important additions in the summer was far from a £100m record-breaker.Many of Spurs’ summer signings are yet to deliver what was expected of them, with the Lilywhites yet to gel as a team after a major £400m rebuild this summer.Tottenham have failed to score in their four Premier League matches so far, with Roberto De Zerbi coming under pressure, which is why the Carabao Cup clash at Liverpool could be a welcome distraction for his side.The clash at Anfield will be a special occasion for one experienced Tottenham defender, who was one of the first players to arrive at N17 during the summer window.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramLiverpool told they should not have allowed Andy Robertson to join TottenhamAndy Robertson returns to his former club for the first time since his summer move to North London, with the Scotland international arriving on a free transfer after his contract with the Reds ran out.Hutton believes that Liverpool made a major mistake by letting the 32-year-old leave, and is confident that the left-back will have a big impact on the Spurs dressing room.The former Tottenham defender told Boyle Sports: “I am very surprised Liverpool allowed Andy Robertson to leave for nothing. I believe he’s still at an age where he’s got so much more to give. Experience counts for a lot, even in that Liverpool team.“It doesn’t matter how much money they’ve spent. You still need players who understand what it’s like to win, and what it takes to play for a club like Liverpool, with the level of expectations from the manager, the crowd, the community, and everything that goes along with it. To allow the situation to develop where he can leave on a free was a strange decision by Liverpool.“Andy Robertson coming in is a massive opportunity for Spurs, and I think he’ll help because they have lost that sort of leader for the last couple of years within that dressing room. I’ve played with Andy. I know what he’s like. He demands the best from everyone around him every day, and I’m sure he’ll be doing exactly that at Tottenham.”Robertson unlikely to feature against his former sideDe Zerbi has said that Tottenham’s squad players will get an opportunity against Liverpool and that many of the players who featured against Everton could be rested.With Robertson having played 90 minutes against the Toffees, one would expect Destiny Udogie to be given the nod to start at Anfield.Richarlison is eligible to play in the Carabao Cup despite being left out of Tottenham’s Premier League squad by De Zerbi.Our predicted Tottenham XI to face Liverpool this evening at Anfield is: Dubravka; Tosin, Senesi, Davies, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Gallagher; Kudus, Solanke, Tel.READ MORE: How to watch Liverpool vs Tottenham in Carabao Cup: TV details, team news and predictionThe post Liverpool made a big mistake this summer and Tottenham profited, says Alan Hutton appeared first on Spurs Web.
