Imagine actually thinking Romero’s red card is responsible for the VdV and Maddison injuries and Udogie’s red card.

I'd argue the sky is green.
We were under more pressure so it is plausible; but Micky's was more because of the lengthy VAR. Albeit Romero's fault.
Madders rolled his ankle without contact, but has been nursing the injury most of the season. Plus he got his ankle smashed against Palace. No card.
Players need to be smarter and keep warming up during VAR checks.
It's not plausible.
- Recovery runs are Mickey's job.
- Maddison; the absolute kicking he's taking has taken it's toll.
.....Even Daawg could have got himself sent off before any Romero-related drama unfolded.
Be pissed with Romero for getting carded himself if u must; but that's where it should start and end.

Not his fault but it did have a snowball effect after his card. Everything went downhill after and that's how big of an impact he has on our team. So he better keep his cool next time in these important games.
they are a full blown cunt never mind fucked in the head. they will no doubt be the dier apologists
Exactly - it's happening far too regularly IMO.
Romero ratio in my opinion
10 matches.
5 very good/motm
3 solid
2 liability!
Still a good player to have but we have to accept he will get sent off or give away pens fairly regularly. But still worth it for all the many really good performances he has. He Obviously has a great partner now so I was hoping he was doing the crazy shit to cover for the weak partners he has had here. But turns out he is a bit of a nutter….. but our passionate nutter!
Clearly we need another good CB but it wouldn’t be levy without leaving us short in a few areas.

If you can't fix stupid....what chance have we got with Romero ?
And the 3 that he misses , do they go on the liability count?
That’s a good point! I didn’t think about suspensions. Yes being suspended is a liability as unavailable!
Updated ratio 11 matches)
5 very good/motm
3 solid
2 liability
1 suspended (so a liability in the sense that he is unavailable)
Sensible thing would have been to get in another CB to compete with him & cover for him when suspended/injured. Don’t forget he picks up a fair few injuries too.
I do think many spurs fans overrate him.
Saliba & Dias are better. I already like micky more too.
Can’t blame it all on a red card.
In history, there’s been hundreds of first half red cards that didn’t result in significant injuries and additional red cards the rest of the game.
It’s just daft to blame Romero for these things while he was in the locker room.
By the same logic, you can say bissouma’s red card led us to victory at Luton because it was 0-0 at the time.
How many is he suspended for ?
Roughly 3 reds in about 70 games. So 7 matches he has missed I think . 1 in every 10 so I am not far off.
He's only missed 4 games for us through suspension.
Two of those four red cards for us came in Europe and he's never actually played another game in either competition to serve those suspensions (yet)
Seriously, get a grip.
Reverse the roles and tell me that you'd be ok with an opponent staying on the park if they'd committed that foul on one of ours. I don't give two fucks whether it is Christian Romero or "butter wouldn't melt in his mouth" Ben Davies...that is a terrible tackle that got the punishment it deserved. Remove the names involved and judge that tackle objectively and it is a red card.
If Son was chopped down in the same way you'd be screaming for blood.
I think YOU need to get a grip fella.... (Or at least read a little closer)...
Why?
Me neither...... That's the whole fuckin' point of my post.
I'm responding to the suggestion that Romero got a red because of a) another incident and/or b) because it's him and that somehow that's ok.
Nothing in my post says it wasn't a foul.
The perks of being shit aye.
Ha Good spot. That’s a quirky little fact. I think all his good performances outweighs the sending offs. Keane got a lot of reds but it was worth it for United.
Hopefully he learns to keep his head but I think it’s just part of who he is.
No they are not. You are talking shit.
