Here's the thing with Romero, in isolation he is either great or poor. He plays on the edge and sometimes it comes off while others It doesn't. He made some great last ditch tackles today and then a couple where he was late lead to goals.
Thing is I actually prefer that to the players who stand off all the time. It's like he's an aggressive presser playing in a passive low block. If you have a team who are aggressive too then when he misses a challenge the next player comes in. That first goal doesn't happen if other players don't stand off for the rest of the attack. The 2nd goal was a mistake to give a free kick but also the wall should get up better and the keeper should save.
Basically he will be great if he has reliable players around him to help when it doesn't come off.
