Honest Expectations and Bold Predictions for the 2014/15 Season

[1chelsea 864]

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

I did give 33 in all comp including pre season. Thank barbi

[gary gordon 1,777]

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

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.

Bold prediction: is people cry out laud this is what we been wanting for years he is all we want in a striker Oh Diego Costa we love you we have our cunt. Madness [emoji56][emoji76][emoji7][emoji8]

you sure love arsenal.

[Korea 734]

you sure love arsenal.

Arsenal offensively is always a good team.

Ozil last season lacked runners when walcott got injured, but with the return of the 4 Brits and the signing of sanchez he has more runners for him to supply to.. Unlike santi and rosicky.

LVG will make sure RVP is the key man to his team.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Positive predictions

We will score goals this season.

Costa will get 27goals in all competition.

Hazard to get 18-22assists in all comps

Fabregas to score against arsenal.

Schurlle to get 17goals in all comps.

We win the league with 89points

Liverpool finish outside top four

Negative predictions

Our ams still miss chances and we end up bidding for reus in January.

Hazard still doesn't shoot as much.

Fabregas to flop in the big games but win MOTM against arsenal.

Terry to have a bad season because of a more attacking style.

Costa to get injured and Drogba goes for African cup of Nations, so we are forced to play torres

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The only thing I can say for sure is that Cesc Fabregas is gonna tear shit up.

[edetarod 2,155]

we'll break the 100 points barrier without losing a single game

[The only place to be 11,313]

Honestly I could see us having a slightly inconsistent start to the season, both on the pitch and in terms of results which will lead to he same old faces bashing us right up November.

I reckon one might be bold enough to start a Mourinho Out thread too and for the usual suspects to be gleeful in questioning our style of play.

But from about late November through to mid-April we have a run of games where we face only three teams who finished in the top six last season (Man City, Spurs and Everton) and I expect that to be when we win or lose the league.

[Madmax 9,219]

Honest expectation - play more proactive football.

Bold prediction - Diego Costa to score 25+ league goals. Torres to score 5+ league goals.

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

Torres to score 15-20 goals spurred on by Costa and Fibreglass

Abramovich to lose patience and sack Mourinho in January

[Special Juan 27,425]

God I really don't know. Costa must hit the ground running in terms of goals this season, and that's probably the only thing slightly worrying me. Cesc will be fine, he has read the script before and will be a sensation here IMO. We must be more ruthless in both attack and also start games a lot quicker than we did last season by dominating possession and really taking it to teams who are ready to play any way shape or form against us.

Heart says win the league, head says 3rd place finish because we once again cannot break down teams who park the bus.

[The Rising Sun 709]

Winning the League - a realistic expectation.

Costa to be a huge success.

Schurrle becoming a starter and doing well.

Hazard to flourish.

Oscar to prove doubters wrong. He went missing without mata next to him. I except fabregas to be in the same wavelength as him.

The only thing i wish for is quicker play. If we again get comfortable playing slow football at 0-0 or 1-0 then there is no way in hell we will win the league.

Killer instict this season.

[Daniel1980 1,425]
