Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has cautioned defender Cristian Romero that his tackling will face scrutiny throughout the season.
Romero recently returned from a three-match ban for a red card against Chelsea but drew criticism for a challenge on Callum Wilson in the win over Newcastle.
Postecoglou emphasized that Romero needs to be mindful of the spotlight on his tackles, whether clear-cut or perceived as clumsy.
The manager acknowledged Romero’s impact on the team and stressed the preference for having him on the field.
Romero’s suspension coincided with another defender, Micky van de Ven, being side lined with a hamstring injury.
While Postecoglou is satisfied with the partnership between Romero and Ben Davies, he expressed the need to bring in another centre-back in January.
Despite a more organized press against Newcastle, Postecoglou highlighted the team’s vulnerability due to the shortage of centre backs.
Ben Davies, primarily a left-back, performed admirably in the absence of Romero and Van de Ven.
Giovani Lo Celso will miss the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest due to a training-related niggle, according to Postecoglou.
