And City were the same. Massive unbeaten run at home, crazy good in attack. Weak at the back, solid in midfield.
Matic and Luiz will stop Liverpool's midfield, Cahill and Terry can handle SAS with the right tactics and Hazard will nick us a winner

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
If we show any weakness or even overdo it with tactics, then the odds will not be in our favor. Its a demonstration of will and balls. We have to punish our rivals or at least try to punish them early on in the game say first 15 mins / 10mins. If we cant score, we have to fall back / shift to a slower gear, absorb and find a way to penetrate them. The name of the game is to score another goal after we score the first to kill any of their hopes. One goal difference is not enough.

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
The match at Anfield is going to be a lot harder than our game against City away. This is literally a title decider, they're in the form of their lives and our win at the Etihad will make them more careful than ever and there's not going to be Demichelis in midfield too. Having said that, I still know that if we play our very best we'll beat them no matter what, and we will, but I just fear that we will bottle it in the other 3 games. I trust us more to do the job in the UCL.

I think they're going to be equally difficult.

We'll beat Liverpool then draw/lose to Cardiff on the last day. Book it.

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
And so we finish the season top of the Top 4 'Mini League', by NINE points.

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
Season over then (barring some miracle from both Everton and Palace...). Emptyhanded in the end, but hard to say it's been a poor one. If you'd told me at the first whistle of Hull at home on the first day of the season, that we'd be 2 points off top with 2 games remaining, and a home win away from the Champions League final, I'd have bitten your hand off.
Onwards and upwards.

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
Absolutely. Our season has been great even though I would've preferred that we reached those objectives in any other way but the one we actually did. I'm talking about bossing every big PL game and bottling the title against far worse teams or being eliminated in the semifinal after being 1 nil at the Stamford Bridge with 45 minutes left. It just leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
Nevertheless, everything suggests that we will bounce back next season even stronger. We'll have Courtois, the best gk in the world, back and some interesting prospects such as Zouma and Kalas in addition to an already well organized defence, our attacking midfielders will most likely improve because they're really young and most of them are new to the club, Matic will beast it after 6 months of settling in the club and with a new CM partner and we'll buy a new CF as well.

Mourinho: I made decision to abandon Chelsea style evolution in favour of results:
The Special One defended his conservative style this season by saying it provided Chelsea's most likely route to domestic and European success
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-chelsea-been-boring-3489482
Agree with him 100%. Sunderland-Stoke was the turning point.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-chelsea-been-boring-3489482
"At a certain moment of the season I made the decision to stop our evolution in style and philosophy of play and go the only way, with this team and these players, we could get results."
"There came a moment when I felt it was dangerous and that there was a big risk that we could be out of the top four."
"If we hadn’t gone for a bit more stability and development of a certain philosophy, it was a big risk. So from that point the team became more strategical and less intuitive, because we went for results."
"I felt we had no conditions to go as far as we did in the Champions League or in the Premier League if we didn’t transform our style of play."
Agree with him 100%. Sunderland-Stoke was the turning point.

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
No surprise this more-or-less came around the same time Oscar broke down. Even though Hazard is our main man, our lack of passing from CM made us really reliant on Oscar to move the ball forward quickly. I really think we need a back up #10 this window

Re: Chelsea 2013/14
Honestly, the way I see it.
A tight defence and the ability to beat the top teams IS the Chelsea way. If we get someone to crush the minnows, we're set.

I agree with this, we'll finish 3rd in the league having beat the two teams above us both at home and away, we lost the league against sides in the bottom half.
Still, i think what Jose is referring to more is the CL and us parking the bus twice vs PSG and Atleti and in the away leg v Gala, I think our change in style in the league was more forced by injuries/suspensions/resting players for the CL then it was a deliberate decision
