Consensus this time last year was, this league is ours and we have to win either the PL or CL, especially with this squad. I personally believed if we didn't win the league with our squad last season, it would've been a failure. Having seen our squad for a full season, we've seen the weaknesses in our squad including but not limited to: Oscar not living up to his potential, Willian, while still not being a threat defenses have to worry about, embodies Mourinho's system to a tee... in Oscar's position, lack of rotation for Matic, Fab not being an effective 10, Ivanovic leaving the right side exposed, Cahill only looking Chelsea quality in a defensive system.

How many of these things have been improved upon? Just because we have young talent does not mean they're going to develop into world class players. This isn't FIFA, young talent isn't guaranteed to grow. We haven't brought in competition for these guys who are experiencing their first major trophy with the club, possibly their careers. Complacency is real. That's why the pessimism is alive and kicking. The city of Manchester has improved and could still improve. We haven't.

My expectations:

a) If the squad stays as is or we only add squad or future prospect players from now on then tbh I really only want us to retain our PL title. If a cup comes along with that then great, but I think that the PL should be our overwhelming target. 1/4 final of the CL is a must to keep the coefficient up but after that I wouldn't be expecting much more with the current squad.

B) Now if we sign a World Class RW or CAM (and we really should) then my expectations will go up and I think we should win the PL and either get to the CL final or win a cup.

My prediction:

Realistically it's going to be a lot tougher to retain the PL than it was to win it in the first place. But even though other teams are strengthening I don't think any of them have surpassed our squad in terms of overall strength and we still have something none of them have: a top class manager in the shape of Mourinho.

a) PL Winners, FA Cup semi final, COC 1/4 final, CL semi final.

B) PL Winners, FA Cup Winners, COC final (loss to Man City), CL final (loss to Barcelona).

Cannot see Chelsea winning the PL unless a few more players are added. Walking the league last year was more about the rest of the league not being up to snuff rather than Chelsea rolling everyone.

I'm not sure why so many are confident after watching the last 4 months of the season. Injury luck was good last year but you cannot expect the same.

The team was exhausted and new players are needed to give the top guys rest otherwise they'll flame out get injured in the second half.

Need at least 3 more players .

Not injury luck if it's the case every year, is it?

PL champs, FA cup champs, cl semi final.

Community shield winners.

2nd or 3rd in the league.

Winners of one domestic cup but not both.

Quarter finals of the Championsleague.

Lots of areas where are rivals have improved, which we haven't with our recent replacements. (Drogba vs Falcao is debatable) With the squad players at our disposal, we are in for a frustrating season.

What's wrong witthe squad players? Cuardado, Mikel, ramires, begovic, lb, falcao, remy, zouma. Team is fine imo.

I agree except for Mikel and Ramires, what if Matic is injured for a few months? Do you feel comfortable with Mikel-Fabregas as your pivot? I really don't.

As things stand

EPL - 2nd or 3rd place

FA cup- semi final

Carling cup- winners

UCL- Quarter finals.

We will win the FA cup if Mou has any doubt of his Prem fortunes

He knows that if he wins COC only he will be crucified by Roman.

Anyway I reckon that UCL will be a little higher in Jose's priorities this season, it's the only thing that he has not won with Chelsea. No idea how far we will get, though, although it will definitely be further than R16 no matter who we draw, the team will be hungry for it.

His actions so far suggests otherwise.

Community shield:runners up.some Cech wonder save and the media etc to go mad about it and on and on and on

EPL:top 3.can't see it being a walk over like last year especially with teams strengthening.Expect Man U to be very close to us..hopefully below not above

COC:Winners

FA cup:Winners..or least go further then last year which shouldn't be hard...

CL:Put on a good run but go on some annoying away goal.Though no doubt carry on with tradition as last English team
