Norwich (A) Post Match

[vlahka]

Anyone who starts whinging or dissecting the performance to this stage when we are five clear at the top should be ****ing banned. STFU you whoppers.

Last I checked this wasnt RAWK

[JohnDoe]

11 consecutive wins. That is an astonishing stat for this stage of the season.

And so many games decided by a goal, with us ****ting it until the final whistle

5-1
3-2
4-3
3-0
3-0
6-3 (Cardiff had the lead twice)
2-1
4-0
2-1
3-2
3-2

Four blowout, the rest life draining experiences.

I thought he was quite tidy second half, especially as the whole team were quite nervy and there were mistakes all over the pitch. Overall quite rusty, but I think Rodgers will be relatively pleased with his performance. Allen was best player on pitch in first half, but he disappeared 2nd, whereas I though Lucas was slightly better.

Should have scored though, no excuse for that.

What is the deal with Allen - has he played 90 mins for us this season? He always seems to either get subbed on or subbed off.

I don't make the Sakho-Traore comparison but to me Sakho doesn't look comfortable in possession, he might have good passing stats but the way he is on the ball makes me nervous like he is about to make a mistake.

Wasn't carra and Neville saying last week how dodgy sahko looked on the ball?

[ChesterDave]

Oh, and congratulations to a certain Luiz Suarez.
30 goals in the season is quite extraordinary....and 50 between him and Sturridge - who would have thought?

96 for the team too! We're going to break the 100 barrier!

They all made me nervous today,we went backwards from midfield and just inside their half a bit much for my liking and the Norwich players were hunting in packs closing us down back there. It was nervy from all of them due to that but its how we play now. It's not good for the heart but it is what it is,Sakho will improve.

Does anyone think it's a coincidence that the two defenders struggling the most this season are Mignolet and Sakho both of whom are in their first season here and having to learn a new brand of football ??
A bit of perspective is needed on those 2 players here and I'd expect nothing than more than for Mr Perspective himself JohnDoe to lay into them.

No.

They have done more than enough to deserve more time.

Think the criticism of Johnson and Lucas is OTT too. It was a collective problem today IMO. We came through though in a situation where Man City and Chelsea have both not in recent weeks. Like you suggest a bit of perspective is needed.

Not surprised you had to check, were you reading the match thread?

[Marina]

Norwich are fighting for their lives where as Palace are now safe.

True. But they were always going to be tougher opposition. I dunno. I think Palace will give us a lot to think about.

[shanks69]

rodgers just saying great we cannot finish any lower than 3rd

[Leyton388]

'My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fecking perch. And you can print that.

[bradsdad]

lucas was **** Johnson was **** Sakho makes me nervous i worry about our defence on every corner or free kick we gotta up it against chelski

[cream]

If Norwich could do this to us, imagine what it's going to be like against Palace...

If Sunderland can beat Chelsea, imagine what we will do to them.

11 games and counting.

I think Johnson has been pretty poor for much of the season. Far too laid back and casual. Lacking drive going forward. Seems uninterested far too often. I'd be looking for a right back in the summer.
