Ange Postecoglou responds to Cristian Romero blasting Tottenham after Arsenal loss

Ange Postecoglou has responded after Cristian Romero reshared a social media post criticising Tottenham in the wake of their defeat to Arsenal. Gabriel Magalhaes scored the only goal of the game as Tottenham slumped to a third straight home defeat at the hands of their greatest rivals.

After the final whistle, Romero reshared a post on social media which suggested he was forced to organise his own travel back from international duty. The post, written by Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, read: “Tottenham lost to Arsenal again.

“Tottenham has not yet consolidated its position to fight because it is not in the details: it was the only club in the Premier League which sent players back from international duty on their own and without their own logistics by decisions of its leaders.

“It gave an advantage because its players arrived with less rest than others. Cuti Romero played with a fever.”

Postecoglou was quizzed on Romero’s social media conduct in Tuesday’s press conference and said that no concerns were raised before kick-off against Arsenal.

“It was mentioned to me [after the game] but it wasn’t mentioned to me before the game,” said the Aussie. “All the players were back by Thursday for a Sunday game. Prior to the game there was nothing mentioned.”
