Well, with an extra effort and a liitle bit of luck, think our squad is capable enough to compete in 3 competitions at least, and top 4 is not impossible task at all. We will only have to compete with Arsenal and Spursy for the 2 slots. Spursy is a consistent bottler, and with Poch leaving, they will be a trash. Arsenal is Arsenal.
Think we have only Hazard out, and with Pulisic in along with some loanees. Yes it is shit situation with the transfer ban and manager change, but it doesn't made our squad suddenly looks like Newcastle though. Rather than throwing the towel already, we should fight it with the best manager possible in charge. If we are losing CL place last season, I would agree, Lampard would be a perfect replacement for the rebuilding of the squad with youths. With CL football ahead is not a child's play (literally) at all.
