Cristian 'Cuti' Romero has had a challenging week, marked by criticism from his coach, Thomas Frank, for his statements regarding Tottenham's management. This criticism was compounded when Romero received a red card during a match against Manchester United, where he committed a violent tackle on Casemiro, leading to his team's disadvantage early in the match, ultimately resulting in a 0-2 defeat at Old Trafford. This dismissal adds to Romero's growing number of red cards, which now stands at six since he joined the club in July 2022.

Romero's transfer from Atalanta to Tottenham for 52 million euros had high expectations, but his recurring disciplinary issues have raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. On average, Romero is now facing a red card every 25 matches he plays, a statistic that could impact his team's performance in crucial fixtures. Following this latest expulsion, he will miss at least the next three matches, including a highly anticipated London derby, further complicating Tottenham's defensive strategies.

The implications of Romero's disciplinary record raise larger questions about his position within the team and his long-term future at the club. With such a track record, the coaching staff might need to reassess how they utilize him and address his conduct on the pitch to prevent further losses that could impact their standing in the league. As the season progresses, supporters will be keenly watching how Romero's absence affects Tottenham's performance in key upcoming matches.
