Cristian Romero

Yesterday’s yellow probably wasn’t even a foul was it?

for any other player than Romero, no. If that's Gabriel it's good hard defending.

My issue with Romero is that I’ve seen very little positive leadership from him on the field. Additionally, His recklessness has returned with a vengeance this season (eg yesterday’s yellow) and he has spent a large portion of the season suspended. I take no joy out of seeing him cry or get injured. However, do I think he was crying for Tottenham and his abject failure to inspire anyone around him? No, I don’t. I think he cried purely for himself. And I personally don’t care about the WC; I care about Spurs. He’s our fudging captain so he should care about Spurs, too. I haven’t seen it.

Yesterday's yellow was far from reckless.
You know my major criticism of him this season? Two of the five goals he scored were last minute equalisers that got us draws away from home, saved Frank's job a bit longer, and allowed Frank to say we had 'played well' in said-games. If he hadn't bothered scoring those then perhaps we'd have got rid of Frank sooner because the alarm bells would've been more tangible.

As for the rest of what you said, needless to say I heartily disagree.

How on earth have we gone from being blessed with 2 Golden Boot winners in attack to having a forward line who are incapable hitting double figures!

We had a proven PL goalscorer that many fans criticsised because as a wide player he never wanted to take on full backs but he had a knack of getting on to crosses and scoring but for some unknown reason was sold in January.

Thought he won the ball fairly, his reputation makes the ref give the foul and yellow.
Not one to usually dig out refs as it's not easy out there but how he didn't give Brobbey a yellow when he flew into Romero I'll never know.
Should have had a 3rd yellow for the 'dangerous play' shove on Romero into Kinsky too.
Loads of other poor decisions, the 'handball' by Muani when we could've broke away 2nd half was based purely on the crowd calling for it.

My reading of it too.

There were elements of his performance in the Forest game that were disgraceful really. On Sunday, he again confused commitment with brainlessly running around (the bizarre attempt to defend with a scorpion kick, the revenge tackle that was always going to happen as soon as he was fouled).

IMO he’s no loss at this stage as he’s not what’s required in our back line in a relegation battle (although it’s all probably a moot point now tbh).
