CRISTIAN ROMERO appeared to aim a dig at Tottenham chiefs as he claimed the club “could easily” compete for the title.
The defender pointed to investment from other clubs and how that has improved results on the pitch.
Chelsea, who came from behind to beat Tottenham 4-3 on Sunday, are one example Romero pointed to.
Romero was forced off in that clash just 15 minutes into his return from a toe injury, as he felt a problem in his thigh.
The Argentine has now voiced his concerns at Spurs and hinted the problem does not lie with the players nor the manager.
As reported by talkSPORT, he said: “The truth is, I would say no comment, but… Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn’t do well, strengthens again, and now they’re seeing results.
“Those are the things to imitate. You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they realise it.
“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.”
Pressure is growing on boss Ange Postecoglou with Spurs languishing in 11th after just one win in five Premier League games.
But after his side threw away a 2-0 goal lead against Chelsea, it was midfielder Yves Bissouma who shouldered the blame for the defeat after he gave away a penalty for Blues’ third goal.
He wrote on social media: “I’m so sad for that mistake. It’s burning me because we lost the game today from this mistake.
“I feel sorry for my teammates, staff, and fans. I take all the responsibility for that one.
“l’ll learn from this one. It’s time now to show the real me.
“Thanks for all the support.”
