The man's just been out from a very severe operation. It's surprising that he even bothers to come round to post given how soon it finished.
Give him a break and at the same time give the team a break.
I never really foresee a top 6 probably a top 10. However it's early days and generally the team is much much stronger than in the past.
My only concern is Karanka's refusal to play 2 upfront, I have never in all my years in football despite a preference for defensive styles (like the Italy of old), well I never really liked 1 upfront except in extenuating circumstances where you face a really tough opponent or defend a first leg lead, then the old 4-5-1 is okay.
Our build up play is okay, it's only the killer finish is lacking hence the bafflement in still playing 1 upfront.
