Cristian Romero is unhappy with Tottenham’s performance in their disappointing 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s Premier League clash that sent them closer to the drop zone.
Spurs recorded their first win since the arrival of Tudor when they defeated Atletico Madrid in the midweek Champions League clash, but were unable to build on that display on Sunday.
Instead, it was another lackluster performance from the Lily Whites as they dropped to 17th on the Premier League standings, just a single point above the bottom three.
Speaking after the match, club captain Romero expressed disappointment with the result and called on his teammates to improve in their remaining games this season.
“This season is tough, especially in this moment. Another day bad for us, another game lost at home,” Romero said.
“The first thing to the fans is thank you for today and also for every day, staying with us. The most important thing for us is to play like a final now. It’s very tough, it’s a bad season.
“For me, it’s the first responsibility and this is the life. Sometimes football is like this”, the Spurs captain added.
Igor Jesus gave Forest the lead on the stroke of halftime, before Morgan Gibbs-White, linked with a move to Spurs last summer, added a second goal.
Substitute Taiwo Awoniyi rounded off scoring late in the game as Tottenham were limited to just three attempts on target in a poor showing.
“The first half was good but in the second half, we lose the confidence, lose the ball, conceded another stupid goal. This is difficult, but now it’s finished”, Romero added.
“It’s painful, it’s a bad day but the most important thing is to go away to national teams, come back here and have seven finals.”
Tottenham will hope to return to winning ways and grab a first league win of 2026 when they face Sunderland in their next outing on April 12.
