Carragher criticizes Romero after Tottenham"s derby loss to Arsenal
- Tottenham lost to Arsenal in the north London derby, with Gabriel scoring the only goal.
- Cristian Romero was criticized for failing to mark Gabriel during the corner that led to the goal.
- Jamie Carragher described Romero's start to the season as very poor, highlighting Tottenham's defensive struggles.
In a recent north London derby, Tottenham faced a disappointing defeat against Arsenal, with the only goal scored by Gabriel in the 64th minute. Cristian Romero, tasked with marking Gabriel during a corner, failed to do so effectively, allowing the Arsenal player to score unchallenged. This mistake was highlighted by Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, who criticized Romero's performance on social media, stating that his start to the season has been poor. Romero has played in all four of Tottenham's Premier League matches this season, but the team has struggled defensively, managing only one clean sheet against Everton, who are currently at the bottom of the league. The loss left Tottenham in 13th place with just four points from their opening four games, including a draw against Leicester City. The match against Leicester also saw Romero involved in a heated exchange with Jamie Vardy, who taunted Tottenham fans about their lack of league titles. Following the defeat to Arsenal, Tottenham will aim to recover in their upcoming EFL Cup tie against Coventry. The criticism from Carragher reflects the growing concerns about Romero's form and the overall defensive issues facing Tottenham, which could impact their performance in the league moving forward.
