Big Romero supporter me....but I can see why some have doubts. Its the matches vs 'smaller' teams where the prob is worst imo.
He loses interest imo, simply not stimulated enough...doing a mad tackle relieves the encroaching boredom...other times he looks casual, that's because he's relaxed and mebbe a touch disengaged. It can look like arrogance.

Once again, I think he's a fabulous player, one of the few to keep City's freak quiet, but its keeping him motivated in less challenging matches that is the task for management imo.

I actually really like this from Romero. He is both:
1 - stating what we all knew in that there was no 'team' last year
2 - accepting that he wasn't fully focused.

He now needs to step up, focus on Tottenham and play like we all know he can.

That's almost captain talk!
Captain talk but would need to improve his maturity for captain walk.

If he can control his aggression he's exactly the type of person we need. I don't think he'll get picked though as he needs to prove he's over the red cards and silly challenges.

Perhaps the extra responsibility would help him to do this?

Shame he had to go off, but he didnt look right after scoring the header, so am glad we took the precaution in bringing him off. Sanchez did well to deputise.

Is that a mandatory ten days out having come off for a head injury?
Only if its a confirmed concussion surely. He went down the tunnel for assessment after coming off and then came straight back to the bench. I'd imagine he's fine and it was precautionary.

Didn't pick this up at the time as too busy celebrating, but it's clear as soon as he's scored that he's not right and Bissouma immediately signals to the bench. (What a ball in BTW)

Ange was saying he was annoyed they had to fill in a concussion form but signed the wrong one

Probably by signing the wrong one means he isn't automatically out for 10 days. Although don't know the rules on that

Any updates on this? Would really like him back for Saturday and to build the understanding with VDV. Of course if there are any doubts or he is in the concussion protocol then he should be kept out.
