Andy Robertson will have Roberto De Zerbi panicking already after Scotland display v Brazil

Tottenham Hotspur new boy Andrew Robertson endured a torrid time as Scotland were beaten 3-0 by Brazil at the World Cup.

The Tartan Army's hopes of reaching the knockout stages are hanging by a thread, and are relying on favours to secure one of the eight best third-place spots.

Vinicius Jr was on target twice in the first half, with Robertson making a poor pass that heled lead to the second of those.

Things got worse after the break, with Matheus Cunha on target to pile more misery on Scotland.

Scotland captain Robertson had already been hooked by that point, with Spurs watching nervously to learn of a potential injury.

But his first-half performance will certainly cause concern for Tottenham and head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with Bournemouth ace Rayan giving him a really tough time.

How did the media react to Andy Robertson's performance in Scotland vs Brazil?

Robertson nearly made the switch to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January before the move failed to materialise.

He did eventually agree terms, with Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jean Paul van Hecke already joining up to add reinforcements to Tottenham's defence.

But there were some concerns highlighted by the media after the game, with the Daily Record scoring him a mere 3/10.

They wrote: "Skipper lasted just 45 minutes of his 97th cap having started with the job of keeping tabs on Bournemouth ace Rayan and push him back into his own territory as much as possible.

"Punished for a decision to play a pass in his own box as Vinicius Jnr scored his second and totally outfoxed by Rayan when Gunn made a great save. Did not appear for the second period."

The Scotsman gave him a 4/10, but noted how he struggled to make an impact higher up the pitch, writing: "The Scotland captain was one of the better defenders up against a lively Rayan. Not able to get forward. Came off at the break for Tierney."

ESPN, who scored him a 5/10, noted how Robertson's drop off in pace badly affected him during his performance.

ESPN commented: "Rayan gave him a run-around on the right wing. His dropoff in pace was badly exposed by the Bournemouth winger and he struggled to make any forward forays. His half-time substitution was almost a blessing in disguise."

TNT Sports gave him a 4/10 but too noted his struggles, writing: "The captain is typically one of Scotland’s more reliable players, but this was an exception for Andy Robertson.

"His failure to clear the ball led to Brazil’s second goal in first-half added time, while he was ineffective going forward."

What will concern Roberto De Zerbi most about Andy Robertson?

There was a time when Robertson was one of the most revered full-backs in world football.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold on the other side, one of Liverpool's hallmarks under Jurgen Klopp was how the full-backs bombed forward and created overloads in attack.

Roberto De Zerbi too likes to employ a high-energy, high-octane, intense style of play, and his full-backs will be a key part of that.

So, the Italian will be panicking already at how much Robertson, 32, was given such a difficult evening by Premier League ace Rayan.

His struggles to get up and down the pitch as he used to, and the way he was given the runaround by one of the Premier League's best talents, felt like a huge flaw in how De Zerbi will want to play at Tottenham.

The fact he struggled to influence the game going forward, admittedly against an extremely difficult opponent, will concern De Zerbi.

Defensively, Robertson did win one tackle and made one clearance, while winning two of his three duels.

He was forced into making two recoveries, but did have one tick in the dribbled against column.

Robertson attempted three crosses in total, but none of these were accurate, though 12 of his 13 attempted passes in the opposition half did find a team-mate.

He had 11 carries in total, but also lost possession on seven occasions in an erratic display.

We haven't yet seen Robertson in a Tottenham shirt, so it's not quite time to hit the panic button yet. But it was not a performance to inspire confidence.
