What a result. Unbelievably nervy in the end, but well held out. Norwich just kept pumping crosses in and caused us all sorts of problems.

I think a number of those players are really struggling to find the stamina to keep up the tempo for a full 90 minutes now. I think we've done miraculously well with the depth of squad we've had, especially with injuries, but I think it's really beginning to take its toll now.

Really need to stop taking our foot of the pedal when we get a couple of early goals

Johnson was garbage today eh. Mind you Lucas was in front of him and he's not used to playing on the side if the diamond - also a walking free kick. I'll bet BR doesn't have us lining up the same against Chelsea.

That's the race over for me.

9 clear of City and 5 clear of Chelsea. You'll win it at home to Chelsea next Sunday.

Lets hope Norwich put in a similar performance against Chelsea and get a result.

I'd agree with this. I think we really missed Hendersons energy today.

Good game for the neutral....

Sorry for Norwich, outplayed you much of the match but will get relegated.


How many games have you taken 3 points despite getting 'beat' on your second half performance?


Worst decsion of the day was Norwich bringing on 'Ricky van DogsPenis' who hasn't scored all season when needed, he's taking Norwich down by himself.

Wow, a hard earnt 3 points again, but again we got them when before we would have just rolled over.

One thing today, just shows how important Sturridge & Henderson are to the team, both were big misses & we never seemed to have enough players forward in attacks. Thought both Lucas & Johnson were very poor, and we still can't defend crosses for toffee! But yet again our superior attack has won us the day, another huge win!

Chavs next, will be a very tough game no doubt!

Hopefully Sturidge is fit and then Sterling can play the point and Couthino can play on the right.

Allen looks ok on the left.

Sturridge will hopefully be back for Chelsea. We hopefully won't play with the fear we showed at home.

Mignolet really needs to learn to come out and claim the ball. His distribution is even worse, thankfully he is a good shot stopper.

Johnson has no excuses for that performance, at least Lucas is being played somewhere he's not familiar with. Allen faded and was a non entity in the second half.

Our most composed player was Sterling. Unbelievable. Bit of luck today but then you need a bit of luck to win titles.

Bring on Chelsea. Would be amazing to win the title by beating them at Anfield.

That was draining. Wow.

Agree with all of this (wow, that felt weird).

I think the players are being left drained just a bit more with each game. Let's hope there is enough in the tanks to get to the end.

I still think City will push us right to the final day though.


And - WE'VE QUALIFIED FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!

Guaranteed top 4. I'll take that whatever happens from now in, back where we belong.

The biggest problem seemed to be the gap between the top 2 and the midfield. Credit to Norwich for changing their system when 2-0 down and pressing us.

Looking at the positives, 3 goals away from home again with a striker injured.

3 to go. This doesn't slip.
