The atmosphere around Tottenham couldn’t be worse, even though only 19 days after a massive triumph over Man City at Etihad it was magnificent. Since then Spurs noted two draws and two defeats, so the game in the UEFA Europa League against Rangers comes in a bad moment.Playing an hour with a broken ankle? Not a problem for Spurs’ hero!The defender Cristian Romero suffered an injury against Chelsea four days ago, spending only 15 minutes on the pitch, but that did not stop him from criticizing the board, specifically the chairman Daniel Levy.”The last few years, it’s always the same: first, the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it’s always the same people responsible. Hopefully, they realise who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it’s a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year,” said Romero, hinting at the board and the chairman’s responsibility, as per Daily Mail.🚨🎙️| Cristian Romero on whether Tottenham are falling behind their rivals due to lack of investment:”The truth is, I would say no comment, but… Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, if one doesn’t… pic.twitter.com/4v02KTHFDU— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) December 9, 2024 And even though Ange Postecoglou tried to justify his player’s words by claiming that “Cristian was really disappointed” and that “he had to go off and to then watch the team and have to feel the pain of another defeat, in the manner it happened,” whether the centre-back would suffer the consequences of his words is still questionable.On the other hand, Pedro Porro fell out with the fans – or better said they were annoyed with him. More precisely, with one of his posts on social media. Namely, the Spaniard shared a post in which he was praised and marked as a fantastic signing. And all that after a hard loss against the Blues at home. Hence, it’s no wonder fans were so fed up that Porro had to deactivate his account.Pedro Porro has deactivated his twitter account after receiving backlash from this tweet he put up earlier… pic.twitter.com/8PdlrrwVJv— george (@StokeyyG2) December 9, 2024 Rangers will be very motivated to deepen the Spurs’ crisis, especially since Postecoglou led their fiercest rival, Celtic, for two seasons before joining the London side. At the same time, the eventual Tottenham defeat would seriously jeopardize their place among the TOP 8.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE – ROUND 5Thursday 20.45: (1.50) Hoffenheim (4.30) FCSB (6.50)20.45: (2.95) Ludogorets (3.35) AZ Alkmaar (2.40)20.45: (3.50) Malmo (3.60) Galatasaray (2.15)20.45: (1.90) Olympiakos (3.60) Twente (4.50)20.45: (1.95) PAOK (3.50) Ferencvaros (3.90)20.45: (5.70) Plzen (4.00) Man.Utd.
