I like young players who believe in their ability, but I wish everyone would remain slightly more modest when is comes to winning the league. How about, "Yes, we feel stronger than last season, and also good enough to win the league. BUT, our aim for the season is a top four finish and everyone in the top 6 is performing to a really high level at the moment, so it's really going to be tough to even finish in the top 4 this season. Chelski are still the team to catch... Bla bla, focus on next game...,Bla bla, 17 cup finals ahead, etc, etc.

He's speaking at a sponsors event and I don't see how he could say anything else. I think he dealt with it pretty well.

I liked the old philosophy better:
Always, work harder and improve.

MP's new philosophy:
Champions or bust
leaves us no-where to go when 1st place is mathematically impossible.

I understand the hedging your bets approach, means less pressure and less shame, lest you fall short at the end of the day, but having the courage of your conviction, trumps hedging in my view.

Last year, when Lamela came out and said, "why can't we win the damn thing" (not an exact quote, but something to the effect of), was a proud moment for me.

Onward an upwards, COYS

I think the amount of emphasis Harry has placed on this is being overstated. He said yes, of course we can win it, why not? He hasn't said, we will win it, and he readily acknowledges the fact that Chelsea are out in front and are the team to catch. Hes hardly likely to say, "no we cant win it" when we are sitting in second place in January.

I agree... players have to take that view, they need to have that confidence... I'd be more worried if he wasn't saying stuff like that.


Of course, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to actually listen to them...
