Dan Thomas

One, you're on tender hooks with hamstrings and the other one, you're on tender hooks because he's a red card waiting to happen almost every time he plays.

And that...

At that level of football, you can't have.

Frank, what are you doing, saying, if anything, in the dressing room?

If you're a teammate of Romero's.

You know, I was watching one game, it never got sent off in this game, but it just absolutely sowed the seed in my mind that this guy doesn't think.

It's very random, this.

It was Eintracht Frankfurt, second leg in the Europa League semi-final, I believe.

And Tottenham were defending for their lives and it was injury time and every player was in the box and Frankfurt were lobbing balls in.

Christian Romero headed this ball out.

of the box and then proceeded alone to charge 30 or 40 yards to try and then go and close the ball down.

Whilst they lobbed it back in the box.

And I thought to myself, this guy's just like a bull in a china shop.

He doesn't think, he just, he reacts and he's, when I saw that particular incident, and it didn't, there was no challenge, there was no red card.

But he basically abandoned his penalty box and his team to go chasing and be the Superman hero.

And I think, what the hell is he doing?

This guy's won a World Cup.

You have to think that you would be, particularly with his experience, you would engage your football brain a little bit more.

He's been playing too long to change now.

I mean, he's not changing.
