Meanwhile Aitor Karanka is behaving like the Tinkerman on acid and to make seven changes, three out of four in the backline, against one of the division’s top scoring teams, was suicide.

The Blues board must take a major share of the blame for our precarious predicament and the signing of a load of what were basically free transfers has been a mistake. They were free for a reason. Halovic, the next Messi (?!) and McGree (the next Cahill?!). Bit of a doubt there, I’d say.
However, the buck must stop first at Karanka. He seems a nice guy and I would hope that he’s decent enough to walk of his own volition after five defeats in six. If he does, then I’d like to see a no-nonsense manager brought in. We need someone like Paul Cook, who has made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear at Wigan.
