Tottenham have a better way to replace Destiny Udogie than Andy Robertson

Writer Joe Soriano argues that Tottenham Hotspur should switch to a back-three formation rather than starting veteran Andy Robertson when Destiny Udogie is unavailable. Although Tottenham defeated Chelsea 2-0 and Coventry 3-1 with Robertson at left back, Soriano contends that the defender struggled to advance the ball and showed defensive vulnerabilities out wide against opposing attackers.

The writer suggests utilizing Micky van de Ven at left center-back alongside options like Jan Paul van Hecke, Tosin Adarabioyo, or Marcos Senesi. In this proposed tactical system, Roberto De Zerbi could deploy Archie Gray or Savio at left wing-back, paired with Pedro Porro on the right, providing Tottenham with stronger ball progression and defensive stability.
