They clearly targeted him as the player to press in our back line as they stood off our other players but used him as the trigger to press and it worked.Some of his deficiencies exposed at times today.

Vertonghen was the same under Sherwood and he was 26 at the time.Of course he's still young but he was charging out of control at times. Far too frantic and a long way off what Vertonghen brought to us. I'm sure he'll learn and it wasn't just him who struggled. I do feel for the defenders though because it feels like we don't work at all on defending as a team. Everything seems to be drilled to press forward and I think that's why he comes charging out to win balls. You don't get everything your own way in this league so sometimes need spells where you have to compose yourself and stay organised with discipline. The biggest issue for VdV though is Romero is not leading at the back and he's the experienced one.
It's a regular occurence because he isn't good on the ball.They clearly targeted him as the player to press in our back line as they stood off our other players but used him as the trigger to press and it worked.

That's ok, no one is perfect and his other attributes far outweigh this weakness.
He has world-class potential. Just hope he stays injury-free and with the right attitude. So far the signs are good.
I worry about what’s in this thread over last couple of pagesI worry when this thread is bumped during international duty...
Agree and the Captain was just as bad. Romero is just not a Captain.Woeful performance
I don't think the ball from Romero did him any favours being floated and bouncing, but he should've done better and we paid the price for it.
It wasn't just the goal he was poor for, Mateta bullied him all game and given Saliba's red card for Arsenal the weekend before I was a bit surprised Micky wasn't sent off as well.I don't think the ball from Romero did him any favours being floated and bouncing, but he should've done better and we paid the price for it.
One yellow away from a one match ban , if he gets one against Villa will miss Ipswich at home.
