Honest Expectations and Bold Predictions for the 2014/15 Season

[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 17,299]

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

Abramovich to lose patience and sack Mourinho in January

[Special Juan 28,096]

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 711]

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]

Bold(?) predictions:
1-2 in the league
Costa to score 18-22 goals in the league (if he doesn't take penalties)
Hazard to score over 13 goals and make at least 8-9 assists
Fabregas to assist in more than 13 goals and score at least 8-9 goals
Oscar to score 7-9 goals and make 7-9 assists.
Torres to score 7-9 goals.
Costa to get at least 2 red cards.
Hazard or Fabregas to win POTY.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Drogba to score the winning goal in FA Cup final vs Arsenal

FYP.

[Hutcho 8,443]

I predict we get moaned at several times for winning by "Parking the bus" vs teams who could only dream to be able to effectively play that way. And yet we still score more goals then those teams complaining about our bus parking.

I also predict we are much more efficient with our chances and Costa is the first Chelsea striker since Didier to look really effective.

PL - Extremely close between us and City.

LC - Semi/Final

FA Cup - Final 2-1 AET. (DIDIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

CL - Semi's.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Its like that every year...win xxx trophies, our players will be best etc. Then so many people are dissapointed...

When season passes few games, we can start predictions not before. Atm I wouldnt throw my hand that we will win any title, our squad is simply still not there.
