Honest Expectations and Bold Predictions for the 2014/15 Season

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Chelsea to score at least 1 goal. Not much bolder predictions.

Hopefully win the PL and also another domestic cup competition. CL last 4.

[CFCJosh 7]

I expect us to win the league, win the FA Cup, maybe win the Champions League, and maybe win the Capital One Cup. But that's not how Football works, so if we were to win only one cup out of the four I listed, then I'd be fairly happy.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Bold Prediction: Matić to win the PL POTY.

[Barbara 15,149]

Bold prediction one out of Oscar and Schurrle to score more than 15 goals (if not both of them).

My expectations were higher when I thought we weren't going with Torres and Drogba as options for the striker position. They dropped significantly ever since and I think Mourinho stubbornness in the matter will cost us the title UNLESS my bold prediction becomes true.

If Oscar or Schurrle, but especially both, scores 15+ goals, we're settled. Our attack in general has to improve from last season, not only the strikers. We lacked incisiveness, aggressiveness, accuracy, bite and especially cojones. We need balls and I hope those players can be fired up by DD, by Mourinho and by themselves. We have a certain profile of players that concern me. Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Ramires, Azpilicueta, Torres, maybe Salah (don't know him well enough) or even Matic (not sure) don't have the winning spirit that Lamps, JT, DD, Ballack, Robben Iva have/had. Azpilli will leave his blood in the pitch, but that's because he's a clutchy player, not because he's a natural winner. we need to fire those guys up, to make them true Mourinho players that accept nothing less than winning.

So another bold prediction, at least half of those players (excluding Torres) will actually grow some wins-greedy balls (more like wishful thinking than prediction, but here is hoping).

already did in another thread. 21 goals all comps. Although I think I'll raise that to 25. 21 seems too modest.

Boldest prediction: Either we win the league easily or there is an absolute massive meltdown around Christmas and Jose is sacked and we finish outside the four.

[Myself 793]

-costa is worse than torres

-we lost the battle for 4th position in the last game.

-in champion league we get knocked out in 1/16 to roma.

-mourinho gets sacked

-hazard leaves to play in psg

-sell oscar to tottenham

-terry joins on free to manchester united

-rafa benitez replaces jose

-sign phil jones to replace terry

if that happens i'll kill myself

my predictions

-oscar 9 league goals, 6 assists

-(if schurrle starts majority of games) 23 goals all comps, 19 premier league

-hazard 10 goals 10 assists in the league

-costa 19 goals in the league

-fabregas 4 goals (2 from set pieces) 8 assists (assuming he plays in a 4-3-3)

-torres 3 goals all comps, no assists

-new contract for schurrle and hazard

-league, fa cup winners.

-semi is the league cup and champions league

-we concede less than 23 goals, courtois gets keeper of the season

just a few

How about this for a bold prediction people.

We will win the league, defending and attacking as a team (nothing more 'attractive' than that) playing brilliant football, Hazard will be unstoppable, Costa will score 20 goals while Brendan and Pellegrini will take there defending doesn't count bolax down to 6th and 3rd respectably and best of all? We will regroup next summer and do exactly the same again and again and dominate the league for years while all these miserable purists take solace in their possession trophies.

What would make all this even sweeter is everyone who critised Mourinho and keep enrolling on these tedious myths about him will be squirming when one by one all the myths get tore apart to smetherings.
