Mate having both him and Dier out is a massive issue for us. We aren't great going forward so to have your two best Cb's out is only going to mean one thing. We will look far better defensively when both are back.
Bang on, And in turn having that solid platform will enable us to also have more control of the game and in turn attack a bit more.

But he didn't have a good game ??‍♂️

And he isn't good enough.

And no I didn't boo tonight in case you were interested.

To conclude, if Sanchez proves me wrong, I'll be the first to come in here, hold my hands up and apologise to you. If he becomes a solid fixture in our defence, I'll 100% hold my hands up.
Man of my word @GutBucket....

Although I still feel he has to do it for a prolonged period of time, Sanchez has been much improved under Conte and no longer sticks out as a huge weakness at the back. He dealt with Lukaku well last night and has reduced the # of mistakes he makes.

Again, I still feel he needs to take it up another level to not be moved on in the Summer, but he's certainly been much better than when I argued the quoted point a few months back.

Let's hope he can continue on this current trajectory and fulfill some of that potential.

Believe it or not Romero is NOT in the Argentina squad for their next game at the end of the month. Lo Celso is in the squad.

we already knew that. They said they weren't calling him up. Hopefully just because lo celso is in the squad he wont play so much due to them apparently giving fringe players a chance.

only real blip was his slip when Maupay was played through. It’s just the moments of different class constantly reading the game and stepping in to intercept and win the ball ahead of the opponents. Loved the little fake clearance and pinpoint ball into Kane near the corner flag before he came off.

This dude is an absolute beast. He'll probably be sent off a few times during his time with us, but his absolute aggression, and his reading of the game, is a site to behold

People actually had the audacity to go against the grain and say "actually, I wasn't that impressed with romero" while he was injured.

I mean, come on. He's quite clearly our best defender.

I shit myself when I saw him go down. Really happy it was only cramp.

This does give us a slight dilemma as tbh, he and Dier are both really suited to the CCB position but not so much the RCB. I would like to see Dier on the side, simply because as a former midfielder I think he'd give more to the side out there than Sanchez.

Excellent performance tonight. He was so dominant it allowed our other defenders to have the confidence to go forward a lot more than they normally do.

Romero is going to be one of the best defenders in the Premier League... he has everything. No doubt... he's both classy and ruthless. Winner !

What a player this guy is. So positive. Really enjoyable to watch.

Paratici has been getting a lot of stick since he joined but this lad is an unbelievable signing.

Hope it was just cramp at the end.
