Tottenham’s Cristian Romero Voices Dressing Room Frustration After Defeat at Fulham
Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has admitted that the club’s first-team players are deeply frustrated with the team’s current struggles, following their disappointing 2-0 loss to Fulham. The defeat at Craven Cottage left Spurs in 14th place in the Premier League table with just 34 points, marking one of their worst campaigns in decades. Manager Ange Postecoglou is now under mounting pressure, with concerns that the club could be heading toward its lowest league finish since the 1993-94 season.
Romero’s Injury Turns the Game
Tottenham’s defensive frailties were once again exposed as Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon struck late to seal the win for Fulham. However, the turning point arguably came when Romero was forced off injured in the second half. The Argentine had been a key presence at the back, and his absence left Spurs vulnerable.
Beyond their defensive issues, Tottenham also looked lackluster in attack, failing to register a single shot on target until the 65th minute. The lack of urgency and cutting edge frustrated the traveling fans, who voiced their anger at full-time. Boos rang out from the away section, and Postecoglou found himself in a heated exchange with one supporter, highlighting the growing discontent among the fanbase.
Romero Speaks Out on Social Media
In the wake of the defeat, Romero took to social media on Sunday night to express the squad’s frustration. Posting on both X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, the 26-year-old centre-back insisted that the team is fully aware of their poor form but remains committed to fighting for improvement.
“We’re not happy with our current situation, but this group will always stand up and take responsibility for everything that happens at the club,” Romero wrote. “Let’s all continue to stand together. Once again, fans, thank you for always being there @spursofficial.”
His statement received mixed reactions from fans online, with some appreciating the show of accountability, while others questioned the squad’s commitment given the recent performances. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario appeared to support Romero’s message, as he was spotted liking the post on social media.
Postecoglou Under Pressure as Fans Voice Concerns
Romero’s injury withdrawal was seen as a precautionary measure, given that he only recently returned from a lengthy layoff. However, some Spurs supporters were frustrated by the substitution, believing the team lost an important leader at a crucial moment.
Postecoglou, who has consistently defended his attacking philosophy and pointed to the squad’s injury crisis as a reason for the club’s struggles, acknowledged after the game that fans had every right to be upset.
“I get the fans’ disappointment,” the Australian coach admitted. “It’s unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It’s nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be, and I understand the supporters’ frustrations with that.”
What’s Next for Tottenham?
With only a handful of games remaining, Tottenham find themselves at a crossroads. The squad’s morale appears low, and the pressure on Postecoglou is growing as the club risks finishing outside the European places. Injuries have undoubtedly played a role in their decline, but the team’s inability to produce consistent performances has led to increasing scrutiny over the manager’s tactics.
As Tottenham prepare for their next fixture, all eyes will be on how Postecoglou and his players respond. Will they rally together and turn their season around, or will the frustration inside the dressing room continue to boil over?
