Tottenham<\/a> captain Cristian Romero appeared to take aim at the club’s hierarchy, accusing them of telling “lies” in a since edited Instagram post.<\/p>\n

Spurs have won just one of their past six Premier League games and sit 14th after losing 3-2 at Bournemouth<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Following the defeat, Romero stated on Instagram “other people” should be coming out to speak and adding that they “only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies”.<\/p>\n

Romero, 27, has since deleted that post and uploaded a new – almost identical statement – omitting the part about telling lies but still appearing to criticise senior figures at the club.<\/p>\n

“Apologies to all fans of you who follow us everywhere, who are always there and will continue to be,” Romero posted., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“We are responsible, there’s no doubt about that. But we will keep facing up to it and trying to turn the situation around, for ourselves and for the club.<\/p>\n

“At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak, but they don’t – as has been happening for several years now. They only show up when things are going well.<\/p>\n

“We’ll stay here, working, sticking together and giving our all to turn things around. Especially at times like this, keeping quiet, working harder and moving forward all together, is part of football.”<\/p>\n
