Thought he looked back to his best last night, MOM for me.
Romero played well but there was one very strange moment when defending a corner, Romero kind of burst out of our own box and left everyone else to defend it; Romero thought we were going to clear it and he was wanting to speed off up the pitch. Meanwhile Brentford chipped it back into the box, Skipp had to bundle it off for a corner with his thigh, 1 second before Bournemouth were about to score.
That is crazy defending, he has to be a part of the back line during a corner, not deserting everyone like that.
There were a couple of other times too (before the Radish came on) where he was bursting forwards, I guess the plan is for Hojbjerg to cover and to be aggressive, but sometimes it can go too far for me. Don't be optimistic as a defender, expect the worst, defend the goal, ensure it is defended, track back fully at all times.
E.g. there was a break on where Toney and Maupay broke through our block and he thought he couldn't get back in time, so he left it to Van der Ven and Porro to deal with it and just jogged back trying to look cool, then he was overtaken by another Spur as he jogged, then when he felt perhaps that he COULD get back in time, he started to accelerate and believe he had a part to play. A defender should always sprint back, there is no place for jogging back.
