@henrywinter Why are you just battering Romero? Because he’s passionate? Yes he can be rash but so can others and they don’t get the treatment he does. If he did what brobbey did yesterday you Jamie carragher etc wouldn’t stop complaining about him! Typical media . Jokers and talk utter shit

There has to be sympathy for Cristian Romero because of his knee injury, and the manner in which it was caused (pushed into his onrushing keeper, Antonin Kinsky). Romero cried, whether for his Argentina World Cup dream or from a desire to help Tottenham Hotspur in a relegation dogfight. Let’s hope the problem is not serious and Romero’s back asap.
He’s a good player – a world champion with 49 caps for Argentina - but a poor leader of Spurs, especially for a team and club in Tottenham’s predicament. Clearly, Spurs have many more problems than an indisciplined captain - recruitment, board, culture, injuries etc. Which is why they needed good captaincy and leadership even more, a beacon of hope in dark times. Romero hasn't provided it enough. Frustrating as Romero could be part of the solution but he’s actually part of the problem at Spurs. He embodies the lack of leadership of those charged with leading team and club. The game is about glory - of the team, not the individual.
He's 27, yet lacks discipline too often. Romero, Romero, where art thou, Romero? In the stands, probably. Suspended for 6 games this season after being sent off twice (+ 12 yellows). That’s not being a leader. That’s not a captain representing a famous club properly. Danny Blanchflower, Steve Perryman, Dave Mackay, Gary Mabbutt, Ledley King, Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min and others were leaders (Harry Kane was a leader but not often captain of Spurs).
Romero posted comments on Instagram critical of his own club about travel, spending, leadership. He may well have had a point on some of these issues, and recruitment flaws obviously need addressing. But it hardly helps the club, or the head coach at the time, for the captain to criticise the club – and do it publicly. As Thomas Frank said in February, “it is good to keep it internal”.
"Cuti" was linked with Atletico Madrid last summer. He may well leave this summer – especially if Spurs go down. Any accountability, responsibility? Romero’s defending is very good at times, especially aerially and when he times tackles and interceptions well. He also brings a goal threat (13 in 156 appearances). But Romero's version of leadership won’t be missed. And it sums up the lack of leadership at Spurs that there are few alternatives as captain. #THFC

@JackPittBrooke Why are you taking Henderson? Cuz tuchel has picked him or you think he’s actually worth taking ? And Calvert Lewin? But early for aprils fools day
English


@InvertTheWing Your not much better! Our best available centre half ,you’d take him out and play a unproven youngster,a centre midfielder there and play him left wing back? Might aswell trust Souza to start there !
English

Tudor will earn my faith again if he realises the issues with last weeks lineup.
Dragusin is not good.
Archie Gray is not a right back.
Djed Spence is not a left back that can hold width.
Vicario is a liability.
Play either Porro or Spence off the right, Van De Ven Left Back, and go with Danso-Byfield-Palhinha in the Back 3.
But being realistic, I am not expecting him to drop Vicario and Dragusin. However, Gray and Spence ones should be LOCKS. If he persists, I think he will take Tottenham down.

@InvertTheWing You’ve named two who are not good that you’d keep!
English

@henrywinter Behave Henry. It wasn’t that bad. Once again Michael Olivier quick to get his red out. People like you are to quick to jump on the likes of Romero.
English

Disgraceful - to borrow one of Romero’s words from one of his recent outbursts. Romero on Casemiro, Argentina on Brazil, always an edge and that is a ridiculous, dangerous follow-through deserving of the straight red. Can he remain captain in the future? Once again Romero lets down team-mates, fans and manager. Heaps more pressure on Thomas Frank. Odobert sacrificed, enter the Dragusin. Down to 10, Spurs now a goal down. Crazy from their captain. #MUNTOT

@SpursArmyTweets Who would you have left out for bissouma z?
English

@SpursOfficial absolutely pathetic again for you. What happened to this £100m ? What happened to wanting to compete? The people in charge are useless pricks. Johan Lange needs to be on the next taxi down the high road. #COYS
English

@Talking_spurss In all honesty what do you expect ? We have 15 unavailable.
English

Been supporting @SpursOfficial since I was 8,seen some very bad teams in my time and some poor seasons ,the 90s being the worst but where we are now isn’t to far away from that and just a few months ago we won a major European trophy. Sack the clown ,Frank now. Xavi or poch in
English

@InvertTheWing No,but your getting excited about someone’s who literally played 20 mins of football. Just because he done ok on Tuesday doesn’t mean he’s the future
English

@stuartroy23 I literally said “next few years”, is he going to play 20 minutes forever?
English

Get rid of Dragusin.
Integrate Vuskovic.
Integrate Byfield.
Keep Danso as backup.
Tottenham’s centre back position is theoretically sorted for the next few years, they just need to play it smart.
It is inevitable Romero/Van De Ven will eventually leave, but at that point, should hope Byfield and Vuskovic are ready to start.
English

@SpursOfficial Another pathetic performance. Sack the useless prick tonight. This club is a shambles and heading back to the dross we had to put up with in the 90’s.
English

@ben_bowman_ Mate,we need more bodies in midfield . Our current options are poor. He’s certainly better than Archie Gray. We won’t have bentacur now,bissouma will go I’m sure. Bergvall is picking up injuries
English

I honestly can't deal with this club, our squad planning is all over the place. I'm a fan of the player, but how many times do we all have to say it? We are in DESPERATE NEED of a progressive passer in midfield. We're just bloating the squad without solving the key problems.

💣 #Tottenham closing in on deal to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. Clubs nearing agreement after #THFC made €40m proposal. Deal expected to be accepted by #Atleti + 25yo England international believed to be keen on move. [@David_Ornstein] 🥇
English

@AlasdairGold Probably with what’s available the best we can offer ,other than maybe Spence in for Davies ,but at least we have that balance.
English

Five changes for Spurs with Solanke and Udogie back on the bench. What do you make of the team? football.london/tottenham-hots…
