The Argentinian openly criticized the board and the chairman, Daniel Levy, while one Spaniard's post annoyed the fans so much that he needed to deactivate his social media account because of their harsh reaction
The atmosphere around Tottenham couldn't be worse, even though only 19 days after a massive triumph over Man City at Etihad it was magnificent. Since then Spurs noted two draws and two defeats, so the game in the UEFA Europa League against Rangers comes in a bad moment.
The defender Cristian Romero suffered an injury against Chelsea four days ago, spending only 15 minutes on the pitch, but that did not stop him from criticizing the board, specifically the chairman Daniel Levy.
"The last few years, it's always the same: first, the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it's always the same people responsible. Hopefully, they realise who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it's a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year," said Romero, hinting at the board and the chairman's responsibility, as per Daily Mail.

And even though Ange Postecoglou tried to justify his player's words by claiming that "Cristian was really disappointed" and that "he had to go off and to then watch the team and have to feel the pain of another defeat, in the manner it happened," whether the centre-back would suffer the consequences of his words is still questionable.
On the other hand, Pedro Porro fell out with the fans - or better said they were annoyed with him. More precisely, with one of his posts on social media. Namely, the Spaniard shared a post in which he was praised and marked as a fantastic signing. And all that after a hard loss against the Blues at home. Hence, it's no wonder fans were so fed up that Porro had to deactivate his account.

Rangers will be very motivated to deepen the Spurs' crisis, especially since Postecoglou led their fiercest rival, Celtic, for two seasons before joining the London side. At the same time, the eventual Tottenham defeat would seriously jeopardize their place among the TOP 8.
