Roberto De Zerbi faces new headache after Tottenham player's 0% pass completion display

Roberto De Zerbi is already facing a dangerous situation as Tottenham Hotspur sit bottom of the Premier League table.

Spurs' clash with Manchester United already looks to be game that could define the team's season, just five matches into the 2026-27 campaign.

While Tottenham did finally manage to find their shooting boots against Aston Villa, it still wasn't enough in the 3-2 defeat before the international break.

De Zerbi is already one of the favourites to be sacked next in the Premier League, and that could soon come to fruition if things don't change.

No game looks like a simple three points for the Lilywhites right now, and it is becoming increasingly easy to see heads drop in North London.

The international break may have been exactly what was needed for some of the players, but for others, it's just been a nightmare.

Andy Robertson cause for concern vs Switzerland

Andy Robertson has experienced a very mixed start to life in North London after arriving on a free transfer from Liverpool during the summer.

Despite grabbing an assist against Villa, he had already made an error leading to Johan Manzambi's opener for the visitors.

A 0-0 draw against Slovenia would have been an ideal first game back with his country. But against Switzerland on Tuesday, 29 September? Far from it.

Scotland were forced to play with 10 men after the 11th minute, and the flying full-back was knackered by the 74th minute, needing to be replaced.

In that time, he failed to create a chance, failed his only dribble, delivered 0 per cent of his crosses accurately, and struggled in defence as well [FotMob].

The 32-year-old lost 50 per cent of his ground duels, while also losing possession 11 times [Sofascore], which only added to his nation's struggles.

Tottenham handed boosts ahead of Man United

While Robertson has been struggling away from North London, his teammates have been working tirelessly on returns from injuries.

Football Insider understands that Dejan Kulusevski has returned to the training pitch, handing the rest of the team a huge morale boost.

It is also rumoured that Xavi Simons is ahead of his timeline, but losing Pedro Porro again will have a massive impact. There's no doubt about that.

Mohammed Kudus has already made a bright return, but things need to start clicking on the field as soon as possible. Otherwise, Spurs will be staring down the barrel of relegation.
