Player Watch Player Watch: Cristian Romero

[delawarespur]

Yeah I don’t know who needs to hear this but that was beyond shithousery. Thug behavior. And I actually thought everything he did before that to Havertz was walking the line perfectly between toughness and recklessness. Absolutely brilliant there. The hair pulling was too much and a suspension is probably deservedly on its way.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

He will get done for that I think.

 

[JCRD]

I hate to be miserable, but I'm still so pissed off with him doing that. What's stopping the FA from taking action?

I love his aggressiveness but he needs to temper the hair pulling although when you do see Cucus hair you do wanna pull it - looks lovely

 

[fuzzylogic]

For those who missed the Romero incident ?

It's so frustrating to watch because he doesn't need to do it and there are LITERALLY cameras everywhere. If anything now, refs will be keeping a closer eye on him because that hair pull was blatant and ugly and won't be giving him any benefit of the doubt in 50/50 challenges.

100%. It’s how he is but he’s also shown the majority of the time he gets it spot on with how far he can take things. Incredibly frustrating.

Did you see how he went up in James’ face and just screamed when Harry scored ?

Sometimes incident like this talked about so much and we complaint pundits and other fans hate us is because our fans talked about it so much.

Not that I agree. Of course I would prefer our players not to do that. But how are we to know he wasn't verbally challenged by chelscum players the whole match that got him on such behaviour? We don't condemn a kid immediately when he/she bullies others, do we? There has to be a trigger.

Like a poster that replied just now, leave the virtue to the angels. We haven't been winning because we have been too nice. Really too nice...

Looks like cucurella was on his way down and Romero just helped him on his way. Nothing in it really

Absolute legend. ???

 

[Aphex]

Anyone catch after the goal goes in he gets right up in James's face to celebrate. He's an absolute shithouse, but he's ours and I love it.

I agree with you but what I really idslike is bias and what I dislike even moreso is the moaning from fans that referees are out to get us etc etc etc... Ultimately it can be blamed on incompetence thats fine but not bias and referees out to get us.

My question is would your school of thought be the same if it was someone doing that to one of our players?

I agree about being too nice but thats in the tackle or little gamesmanship type acts, but that is a blatant hair pull that could have and should have been a red and we would be going into our next three games without Romero and playing Sanchez and having a half fit Lenglet.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Two games, two red cards escaped... its coming...

i'm biased (and he sure does appear to have ahold of a handful of hair), but do agree that Cuc.... seems to be falling and heading in that direction anyway...somewhere between a jersey pull (happens every corner) and a redcard hair pulling. Cuti is master of dark arts and walking that line.
