Obviously a problem. But a lot less of a problem for me than the other dozen or so chancers we see regularly who don’t even try when they hit the pitch.
As I said, in comparison to the rest of the players. Romero hasn’t had a good season, but still one of our better players. Presently fourth in our very own Player Ratings thread.
I don’t think it’s controversial to expect more from the captain and that he should elevate the team rather than sabotage from within.
I’m not listening to the “world class” pish, because he certainly isn’t that. He is one of our better players and more consistent performers. Tough to argue against that, judging by our own player ratings on this site. Something that is constantly ignored by those who don’t rate the player.
South American, big name signing, big price, 'defender of the year' etc., YT videos, World Cup, but mostly, being one of the dirtiest players in football today. Still amazes me how so many jump to defend the latest stupid, bad, overly aggressive challenge and the player who just doesn't stop letting the club down.
I like Ben Davies. Good player. Rarely lets us down. Rarely elevates us either. But a good player.
It's not just 'getting stuck in' though. There's hard but fair and there's hard and dirty. Romero is the latter.
It’s a shame he’s suspended yes. I think it’s a shame as I think he’s a good player. A lot of folk seem to think it’s terrible that he’s suspended whilst thinking he’s shite anyway. Not sure I see that logic.
Fine by me. I’ll always have room for a couple of dirty bastards in my team.
Not fine in the modern game with VAR. He's a liability.
In your opinion. I’m happy taking the bad to get the good.
Maybe so. Tend to skip read threads these days, so I may have to bow to your knowledge on this one. Let’s see how he gets on when he comes back. I’m hoping we see a reinvigorated Romero helping to pull us out of trouble. Think we need him. Happy to accept others don’t have that belief.
I’ve not kept count, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those important goals are more than negated by the ones he’s been personally at fault for the other end.
I agree. He has also cost us with errors though, so rough with the smooth. I’ve said before that he’s having a weaker season because he’s had an idiot as a manager. Hoping we see an improvement when his suspension is over.
I've kind of kept count. He only scored 4 this season.
