I desperately wanted Karanka to succeed & genuinely thought he was the best manager we could get. He’s proved to be huge disappointment. Cautious, negative & uninspiring. Literally zero signs of any progress. Each additional game he stays on in charge is the sacrifice of 3 points

Put aside formations, shape, tactics and talk of projects. These players have zero bottle. Zero. They can’t hold a candle to decades of players who were technically inferior but left everything out there. The ethos of this club is alien to them.
