He is making a few nervy mistakes right now but then who isn't

I'd be quite happy to see every player above 25 going next season apart from Given to be honest. Carlos has been a star for us, but if this season has shown us anything its that we need to clear the decks and start again.

Shite clearence for the Odemwingie chance but redeemed himself by clearing off the line in the second half.

He needs to be right back against Spurs as he's usually solid there. Lichaj can play LB as I don't think pacey wide players cause him that much trouble and he played well against Bale last season. Dunne and Collins I'm sure can cope with Adebayor.

I like Carlos and he needs to be in the team at present. Has always had the knack of pulling off goal line clearances.

But he is a bit over-rated by many fans. There's a reason that 3 successive managers haven't picked him at centre back. He must be the most clumsy spaniard playing football at a high level!

One of those managers saw fit to spend £8m on him and the other two saw us to within three matches of relegation.

It's quite possible that three successive managers can be THAT calamitous. There's certainly a lot of other evidence to back it up.

Either way, best of luck to him at Valencia next season.

Would like to see him, Collins, Clark and a possible new signing battle it out for the centre-half places next season, but I too think he will get a better offer somewhere else and will be off.  Shame, as his ability to cover at RB makes him a very useful squad member.

I think we can all agree he's better than Hutton.

I like the bloke, but he's not cut out for playing centre back week in week out, too many mistakes.

Carlos has just tweeted that he can't watch the game tonight because he's at the end of season dinner. Seems a bit weird as it's not the end of season and we're not even safe

He's tweeted again with a photo and they're watching the game, I assume, on skygo, on phones.

Blues had their end of season party the week before the season finished last year. Maybe its a McLeish thing.

It was the awards dinner, not end of season dinner.
