Title Race

More worried about Palace & Norwich away,
than Chelsea at Home

Agreed

[Roboklopp]

Ha fair enough, thought you were on about City

I've nowt against Citeh really- I've lived in Manc most of my adult lives & never really had a problem with their fans.

We go to Norwich.........exactly the same............this doesn't ****in slip now......

[G]

Not quite.

3 wins puts us on 86 and ends Chelsea....but if city won all their games it would mean we need a point from Newcastle or a goal difference swing

I expect the GD to be sorted in those 3 wins so we wouldn't be under pressure against Newcastle,so yeah,technically not over,but over really

[dom9]

How the **** am I going to sleep now

[Beary]

Getting ahead of ourselves a bit but, should Sunderland beat Chelsea, Everton get something against City and we beat Norwich, then we win the league at Anfield with two to spare if we beat Chelsea. Frightening stuff.

Could just as easily go belly up or to the wire

Beating Chelsea is absolutely imperative IMO

We are playing Chelsea at home. Our Home form has been great only losing to Southampton early this season and our home record against chelsea is always great. We will win.

[G]

I'm convinced we'll win it now, I'm just dreading the cataclysmic 5 day hangover I'll have

Just stay pissed

We could theoretically draw at Norwich and with Chelsea and still stay ahead of them. City would need to win all six left to nick it. A tall order. It's all slowly swinging our way. Win on Sunday,that's all we can do. City do appear to be seriously deflated by the events of the last four days.

We could be behind Chelsea before we even kick a ball against Norwich. We can't think about drawing games,keep going all out for 3 points every game.

City has only 5 left.

Liverpool confident Daniel Sturridge will shake off knock and be fit for title run-in - starting at Norwich

Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge should be fit to face Norwich City as Brendan Rodgers lauds his side's disciplinary record

Liverpool have eased fears that Daniel Sturridge will miss the title run-in and hope the England striker will join the squad at Norwich City this weekend.

Sturridge limped out of the Merseysiders’ 3-2 victory against Manchester City on Sunday with what appeared a hamstring strain.

His withdrawal at the time was more precautionary. Indeed, Brendan Rodgers, the manager, was intending to substitute Sturridge for tactical purposes anyway, but the striker has undergone tests and treatment over the last few days. A Liverpool statement confirmed the injury is minor.

“Sturridge has since undergone further assessment with the club’s medical team at Melwood and a small strain was detected following a scan,” said the statement. “The 24 year-old will now undergo a treatment programme in order to try and be available for the trip to Carrow Road.”

Rodgers will be considering his options for the Norwich trip anyway, with Jordan Henderson serving the first of a three-match ban.

Henderson is the first Liverpool player to be sent off this season, a point Rodgers has been keen to stress, especially as players such as Luis Suárez have had disciplinary problems in the past.

“I take great pride in winning in the most sporting way we can,” Rodgers said. “If you look at us we are top of the Barclays Premier League and we are top of the Fair Play Tabl. I’m not saying that’s the big title we want to win but it also shows you a mark of our behaviour and the value of this club.

“It’s a club that has won many trophies in the past but had the humility and the class. One word I always had in my mind when I joined Liverpool was ‘class’. That is important to me - that those values are restored. But for us it’s game management.”

Rodgers insists he never wishes to be in a situation where he is perceived as manager constantly blaming results on referees’ decisions, a point he believes was underlined in the recent victory over West Ham when a contentious opposition goal was allowed to stand.

“You can’t affect it,” he said. “I went into the dressing room last week at West Ham when it was 1-1 and I said to the players ‘listen you can have an excuse. I can tell you your excuse after the game - the referee gave a poor goal. But it won’t change anything’. All we can do is focus again and get our flow and rhythm again.

“We try to have a no-excuses environment here. There will be little bits of luck that go for and against you but I like to think as a sporting team and a team that’s trying to work well we’ve got our rewards this year.”

Brendan ****ing Rodgers

[calvoboy]

I'm detecting Steve Peters's influence more and more over Brendan's press conferences and interviews during the run in....that's classic winner mentality - focus on the things you CAN change and don't worry about those that you can't do anything about.

we need brendan to text borini...
tell him that if he scores the winner against the plastic flags he will also get a prem winners medal
