Who made Garth Crooks' Team of the Week?
Cristian Romero: The block on Joe Willock's strike on goal was nothing short of brilliant. The Newcastle player looked certain to score. Romero has caught my eye before while playing for Spurs and he's starting to look like a real player in the Premier League. The longer the game went on against Newcastle the better Romero got. Composed under pressure and very comfortable on the ball when he's not. However, manager Antonio Conte really needs to fix this Jekyll and Hyde culture in Tottenham's performances if they are going to secure fourth spot.
Did you know? Romero is averaging 4.5 combined tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, the most of any Spurs player (minimum 500 minutes played).

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the head-scouts at some of the "big" clubs are being questioned about why they let Romero "get away"....

In the days leading up to Messi leaving the Camp Nou, MARCA reported that one of the reasons why he hadn't signed a new deal was to do with the club failing to secure the services of Argentinian international Cristian Romero.
Romero ended up signing for Tottenham Hotspur for 55 million euros and has since admitted to Radio AM 550 that Messi wanted him to come to Barcelona.
"The fact that Messi would want me in his team, and that he wanted me to come to Barcelona is amazing," said Romero.

Seriously, what a player.
Shades of palacios on his debut v the scum
He has completely won me over.
I'd like us to sign a centre-half who is really good in the air for the left side of the back 3, to make us stronger at defending set-pieces (keep Davies as a backup). It's the only area I could say Romero looks a bit weaker on, so I think having a player who can cover that weakness (if it can really be called that) would help us out.
He is looking like a superb player right now though.

2nd coming of Sergio Ramos. Don’t @ me
That’s unreal, there can’t be more than a handful of central defenders in the world who can nick the ball off a dribbler like ASM while he’s in full stride. Hell there aren’t many fullbacks who could do it either.
It might have been round 31 but it is individual and we have played 30 matches meaning 2 matches to go. I believe he has 8 bookings meaning he would have to pick up a yellow card in both our next 2 matches. The good thing is he avoided a card against Spammers that was always going to be difficult and yesterday despite it getting a bit feisty. Hopefully Conte has got to him to be more careful.
Kulusevski sums up Spurs fans' feelings with superb seven-word Romero verdict
"What a player. I have no words," was Kulusevski's reaction to Romero's performance after the Swede commented on the defender's Instagram post after the game. He was simply outstanding against Newcastle and he will be pivotal to Tottenham's hopes in the remaining weeks of the season.

Who?
Does it really matter? This does nothing other than just stirs up the pot.
Pretty much every loves the guys and rates him really highly at the moment, so I don't know what purpose it serves to look back aside from just making problems.
