Expectations for 2014-15 season? Time to end the sucess/failure debate for all

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

OK screw it one of my expectation for next season is better football too. Not demanding we change into Dortmund/Liverpool/City attacking style but just need to be much better than currently. So that is BPL+ good football. Breaking buses down are one of the main priority.

now this is certain ... by the end of next season ... I will be a year older (if still alive ) a year more senile .. BUT still a better striking option than Ba

Good cup runs,last team again in Europe and win the league .Play better football...be less frustrating..players remembering what a goal is and being able to draw and not dropping silly points that have cost us this season...also be nice and a probably be a surprise in a way to still have Jose as Manager..and if QPR do come up we do the double over them this time round

Take into consideration that Man City were crippled this season and are on the verge of winning the league. Also, if they somehow get Fernando and Mangala with a healthy team, City would be the favorites again...

Arsenal were crippled as well and still manage top 4. Add Remy to the mix with Arsene's french connection and bring back theo, they can challenge for the title as well.

I think Liverpool drops off a lot. Maybe out of the top 4 or 4th place pending on united's moves...Everton as well, their team has 3 significant loan players that will probably be gone ....

So, top 2 in the league, either fa or carling cup and semis in the CL would do it!! But one trophy at least (not carling cup though).

Even if Arsenal sign Remy and we get Costa we got a much better squad and starting 11. The only squad that we don't have that is as good are City but this season shows we do have what it takes to finish above them so imo with Costa we should be finishing ahead of them. Agreed with the rest though.

I think that with a top Striker and a top CM we should be the favourites, no metter what CIty are doing in the summer (unless they're bringing someone like Rues to play with Silva, keeping Aguaro, and make their defense alot better - and that requires more than buying Mangala, it requires some serious job). I think City should have got the title easily this season, but they proved yet again they dont have this big team mentality. I think we should and would bypass them next season.

No thanks, fuck Guardiola. If he comes to Chelsea I won't even watch the games. Way too boring to watch imo, if Mourinho gets sacked try and get Klopp. I want us to play like Dortmund.

ohh really? and under jose, we play a very interesting football, right?!

That's not what I'm saying am I? We played quite boring this year, but if Mou got sacked I really don't want to see Guardiola as our new coach. Guardiola wouldn't even be a good match for us, we don't have the players to play like Barca or Bayern.

IF we want extremely entertaining football go Klopp, every single game of Dortmund this season usually involves 2 or more goals, although not always at the right end. An example is the weekend game in a meaningless game which they won 3-2, here at Chelsea it would have been 1/2-0 win. But for some reason his whole starting 11 or like 8-9 of them are out with long term injuries for some reason, don't know if it is to do with his approach or something else. If we want Mourinho but a bit better and more animated coach try Simione, although a lot of Atletico's games are like our own. Then again go with the easy option if we want a top class manager that is capable(not always) of playing good football which is Carlo back. Outside these 3 I cannot see anyone else improving us, maybe Hynckes if he comes out of retirement but that is about it. No thanks to Pep and tiki taka please, tired of that crap by now and it is not even entertaining like it used to be at Barca 09-11.

Overall next season Jose will get his last chance here, winning no major trophy again and still using the current approach with Costa leading us will resulting in his sacking either at the end of in the middle, depends on our situation at the time. A RDM style melt down for example and he will be gone at Xmas. Imo he WILL DO BETTER AND LEAD US TO GLORY, I have faith in the man and we all should(for now).

I fully agree with this.

If we don't win the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and the Copa del Rey next season I'll be very disappointed.
