Interesting times ahead with heavy schedules coupled with key players with injuries. We will get to see how Ole deals with the situation.
For me I feel it's a good time for Ole to experience this and make use of the opportunity to find out more his options of players and formations. I have no doubt he will be tapping on SAF's experiences and strategies. I only hope these injuries do not come back to bite our top 4 position. I hope we will win Chelsea given their mess. I still maintain that even if we lose our main focus should still be to hold the top 4 position in PL. I can accept a trophyless season but we should take opportunity to hold top 4 and already start planning which department to beef up and who to bring in in time for pre season.
Would be sad if Lukaku is sold but if only we can bring in strong and pacey attackers in to complement Rash and Martialelse we should stick with him. Although Lukaku is not world class I think he has good value add to the team as he is good attack option but may not be start choice.
All said and done, most importantly is to just win. I don't care by 1, 2 or 3 margin but just win and finish the season respectfully.
Thanks Eds for work on site. Have not contributed much lately but still reading loyally. ðŸ™.

Thanks mate. Been a while since being active.
Long story but we will not talk about me. More importantly the club/ s we support. People come and people go but the clubs will always remain.
Hope all’s well with you and loved ones. I just happened to have a big change in the way I look at life 🙄. Too much hate in this world. But well that’s life 😉🙂.
{Ed001's Note - life is definitely far too short for hate. Glad you are back about mate, everything is good this end.}

Good post mate.
Ole has done really well but whoever comes in I think there is some surgery needed:
1. Sell Lukaku and Sanchez as well as moving on a few fringe players.
2. Sign a top class CB, CM, and possible a forward who can play across the line.
3. Promote 2 or 3 youngsters and see what they are made of.
4. Press and play with pace.
We have the bones of a great team and a good squad, the mood seems positive and players are improving. Today will be a sign Of how resilient we are, we’ve lost a game and lost 2 key players to injury, time to step up.

Id keep lukaku for next season but think about selling him in 2020, by then greenwood should be in the squad. There's a lot that needs to leave. We have 9 of a starting 11, but beyond that its painfully thin. Think of the match day 18 and almost half should be moved on.

AJH ðŸ‘.
Ole is definitely earning his salary. But whoever the next be it Ole, Poch, Allegri or Ince (haha) theybwill bring in their own team. Till then I’ll just support my club and hope they win as many games as possible.
My main concern now is the question of who the next owner is given the rumors 🙄🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤£.
