Tottenham Hotspur fans are furious with Cristian Romero’s discipline during their trip to the Stadium of Light, with the defender getting booked early on.
Romero’s level-headedness at Spurs has been questioned constantly during his time in North London, and the defender continues to prove those suggestions right.
🤔 You decide: Should Tottenham STRIP or KEEP Cristian Romero as the captain?
Spurs are in such a precarious position in the Premier League table right now and simply cannot afford to lose any more key players to injury or suspension.
Now, after receiving a ninth yellow card of the Premier League season, Spurs fans have taken to social media to question the defender yet again.
Spurs fans fume at Cristian Romero’s ill-discipline against Sunderland
Spurs fans have been left less than impressed by Cristian Romero’s ill-discipline against Sunderland following his latest booking.
The Argentine defender went right through the back of a Sunderland player in what was a very forceful challenge.
A yellow card for the 27-year-old was probably fair, but it was a very dangerous challenge to make for a team that cannot afford a sending off.

Romero and Micky van de Ven have both been sent off recently and cost the team dearly, yet both defenders are still committing reckless fouls.
During the first 45 minutes, Spurs fans took to social media to question the defender’s antics, and it’s fair to say they’re not best pleased.
Tottenham need Romero, who is one of the best in the world for Argentina, but he continues to let the team down.
Cristian Romero’s poor yellow card record for Tottenham
Romero’s yellow card record for Tottenham is truly shocking after he picked up the 36th Premier League booking of his Premier League career.
No defender has now been booked more than Romero since he made his debut for the North London club back in August 2021, according to Squawka.
He is now just one booking away from a two-match ban if he receives a 10th yellow card of the season.
