Some Tottenham fans on social media were left mightily impressed with Cristian Romero’s performance against Aston Villa and have called for Nuno Espirito Santo to start him in every game.
Romero has not managed to nail down a consistent place in the starting eleven since his move from Atalanta over the summer.
On the back of his impressive showing in the Europe Conference League against NS Mura on Thursday, the Argentine started alongside Eric Dier on Sunday.
Tottenham’s centre-back pairing coped well with the threat of Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins, both of whom found it hard to get into the game.
Although a clean sheet eluded the home side, it was an encouraging defensive display on the back of conceding nine goals in their last three Premier League games.
Some Spurs fans liked the look of the Romero-Dier partnership, with many reserving special praise for the 23-year-old.
They called on Nuno to give the summer signing a run of games in the starting eleven.

Spurs Web Opinion
Dier and Romero complement each other quite well due to their different styles. Given Romero’s keenness to step up and win the ball, he needs someone who is composed and experienced beside him and while it is still early days, the partnership certainly seems promising.
