Despite recently facing loses to both Crystal
Palace and Paris Saint-Germain
, the next 10 years will likely see Chelsea dominate English soccer. After years of momentum continuing to build at Stamford Bridge, the pendulum
appears ready to swing in their favor.

| The Special One |
The Special
One has returned and although
he will most likely
view this season as a grand failure, he has a the great opportunity to bring many trophies to The Blues. Whether its traces from his initial time with the club or just chance, José has a team of players well suited for his counterattacking style of play. Mourinho has never inherited a foundation of players whose styles synergize so well in his system. With players feeling comfortable with his vision, Mou can utilize them in ways that wins trophies.

| The young and talented Blues of West London |
Chelsea's defense has looked rather impressive this season, allowing the EPL's fewest goals against. Pair that with a midfield made up of players like Hazard, Oscar, and Willian, Chelsea have a skilled group capable of getting winning results in years to come. And not only is the team talented, it also has a very deep bench. With 27 young players out on loan, Chelsea is developing a side that has the quality support essential to today's multi-league teams.

| Not cutting it |
However, there is a chink in The Blue's amour. A group of underperforming forwards. Chelsa's key forwards Torres, Eto'o, and Ba have been underwhelming this season, only scoring 17 league goals between the three of them. But with Mourinho's not so subtle
criticism of his forwards and the
lucrative sale of Juan Mata, Chelsea will almost certainly sign a world class striker this summer and the final missing piece of José's puzzle can be put into place.
