Jermain Defoe claims that Nottingham Forest’s second goal against Tottenham was far too easy and Cristian Romero must shoulder much of the blame.
Spurs were thrashed 3-0 at home by Forest, and to add insult to injury, Morgan Gibbs-White netted the second goal during the defeat.
😠 AGREE or NOT: Cristian Romero MUST be DROPPED after Tottenham’s second goal conceded against Nottingham Forest…
Supporters have spotted how easily the visitors were allowed to score the second goal, and Romero’s involvement was rather embarrassing.
The Argentine international was spotted jogging back to defend, and Defoe believes that has been a theme of this season at Spurs.
Jermain Defoe slams Spurs’ defending against Nottingham Forest
Jermain Defoe was less than impressed by Spurs’ defending versus Nottingham Forest and is worried it is actually ‘getting worse’.
Gibbs-White was able to easily turn home the second goal for Forest at the weekend after being left unmarked in the penalty area.
The former Spurs target was given so much time in the middle of the penalty area, and Defoe claims the defending was just unforgivable.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Defoe said: “The second goal was too easy. To have that space in the middle of the box, it’s baffling when you’re struggling at the bottom of the league.
“But yeah, it’s just the same. We’ve seen this all season, and it seems to be getting worse. That’s the worrying thing.”
Spurs players should have been fighting for everything following the impressive welcome they were given to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the weekend.
Romero’s pre-match hype video before the Forest defeat has also been slammed as the defender did not show much ‘fight’.

Igor Tudor is now under pressure at Spurs to keep his job as interim coach, and several options are being discussed.
Defoe has been mentioned as an option to come in and help if a manager like Harry Redknapp were to be appointed.
But at this stage, the North London club seem reluctant to go down the route of appointing a club legend like Redknapp or Tim Sherwood.
