Slight change of topic from the future of Ole (but I suppose this is somewhat linked as its relates to results) . Our next 10 games are about as tough as we can have at this stage of the season:
Leicester, Atalanta, Liverpool, Spurs, Atalanta, City, Watford, Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Realistically, how many wins would you expect from this run of games? What is par for the course here? Maybe something like 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

We win them all. May be a draw against Atalanta.

If we come out of that run of games 3-5 points off the top I think we will have done well. We haven't taken advantage of the fact the other sides up around the top have already taken points off each other whilst we played sided who were and will be further down the table.

That’s the million dollar question with United you have no idea because it’s all about which players turns it on on the day.
Where as if it was Liverpool or City playing those fixtures it would be much easier to hazard a guess, ok you may get 1/ 2 wrong, but in general you know
With us that’s my main problem you could win all 10 or you could lose all 10 no one would be surprised by either…. Ok maybe winning all 10 is a stretch but you know what I mean.

I think we will draw every single game.

Manc man think we will beat Leicester but lose to arsenal.

Grim ? made me laugh that.
I think if the fan pressure for him to play Ronaldo every game prevails we won’t beat Liverpool, their high tempo means we need all 11 working hard, I hope Ole makes strong calls as they are going to be needed.

It's a grim set of fixtures. I would be very pleased with 4 wins from that lot but think even that is optimistic.

Ken, maybe because Leicester are out of form but Arsenal are serial chokers and Utd are at home.

Christmas is always round the corner with Ole at the wheel.
There is always a surprise waiting in the wings and I am very sure these fixtures are going to spring up a lot more.

Last season when Arsenal couldn't buy a win we gifted them one at Old Trafford.
