At the risk of resorting to stereotypes I think it's what's known as "Latin temperament". We experienced it to our detriment with Gus and to some extent Chelsea with Murinho. There are of course the exceptions that prove the rule, where Benitez springs to mind.

Karanka comes across as quiet and cool headed.
I would imagine it could be quite frustrating if you only have a basic grasp English, and you have to deal with British lad banter. We don’t know if they were behaving like a bunch of stroppy school kids.

I was interested to find out how Boro fans were feeling so looked at their forum last night. Some of their fans seemed disheartened by Karanka's second half substitutions yesterday. The manager's post match comments saying his players were tired was also a concern. As well as saying 'look where Boro were when i took over'. Seemingly not the first time he'd said that this season.
I am starting to wonder whether Karanka's emotional temperament might cost Boro. He appears to be the manager under the most pressure.

He's certainly the least experienced. Douche and Chris Hughton have been in this position before.
Karanka seems to be starting Rhodes and Downing now which I thought was part of his mini melt down recently. Hope this is a sign of uncertainty on his part.

That's an interesting point you make about emotional temperament. Watching Chris Hughton's post match interview on the Football League Show we are fortunate to have such a cool, level-headed and generous manager. One who is wise and is complimentary and above all honest. This is the sort of person who you absolutely need to steer your ship, or in our case, the team to success rather than someone who rants and raves when things don't go to plan.
The expression T-CUP springs to mind - Think Clearly Under Pressure.

Krankie is going all Poyet like as the pressure is getting to him, they should have sacked him when he went AWOL

Not the headlines a dressing room needs this time of year.

Just read through some of the previous posts on this thread. Marlowe mentioned this last month after Karanka had stormed off. Comparisons with Poyet(a nod to Ernest), Benitez and the Latin reaction to pressure could be a deciding factor.

Tired? Don't worry they have an extra 3 / 4 extra days rest before the most important game of the season Vs is - thanks for that Sky 
I do feel that had Karanka left and not made up with his players (although he claimed there was never an argument with the players or the board - so who was it with? We're not stupid in England PAL), we would be up and promoted! Literally as simple as that...

Apparently Boro have only won once at Brum in donkey's years.

Blimey. That is exceptionally poor timing.
They are on the brink of implosion 2 it seems.
Last time Boro won at St Andrews was in 2005 in the Prem. I make it that's the only time they've won there since 1978.
Their record there from 1980 onwards is:
Won 1
Drawn 5
Lost 12

They were tired? They had one more day than Burnley to recover and have the biggest squad of all three top teams.
