Romero made that slide tackle because it was a last ditch attempt. The player was teeing up to shoot then dinked it over and took the penalty. Everyone is overlooking the mistakes leading up to Romero having to make that tackle.

Its a sloppy attempt but I find it wild that people can't see the bigger picture here. Romero is having to cover other players.

1st goal son allows dropped off man a easy cross to back post (we concede far too many from this exact area). Porro switched off loses his man.

2nd goal. Dier and davies out of position. Romero not tight enough. Keeper beaten at near post.

3rd goal. Give ball away cheaply. Dier misses interception, takes out a man. Davies loses his man. Romero comes across and throws himself in. Theres multiple errors leading to the shit tackle by Romero.

If we had a better CB (or 2 if we stick with the back 3) to partner Romero, we would look much better overall. We've kicked the can with cheap options that we now need a starting quality GK and two CBs. That will cost a lot, but its the minimum required.

What are you watching? Romero and Dier are the main problems. I feel sorry for Davies and Lenglet having to play with these clowns every week
