How were we kicked off the park in the 2nd half against Norwich like we were? I mean, we played with 3 midfielders who can also defend and no Norwich players are that good, let alone world beaters, we shouldn't be tired, having rested for a full week, I fail to understand and that gets me really worried. Was it the pressure, nervousness, Hendo not around, Lucas not match fit, missing Sturridge's pace, I don't know?

We really crumbled under pressure and were forced to play a low line. Chelsea and Palace watching that would say they just need to be physical.

You can say Chelsea and City suffered against Sunderland, but, they were not dominated as we were. Thoughts.

Should we really expect to 'dominate' every game in the so called 'best league in the world'?

Even if we don't dominate we surely cannot be expected to be kicked off the park like we were by Norwich. Are you not worried?

All of the above.

No team ever has it all their own way - Norwich were not only fighting for their lives, but they had that new manager effect also. Norwich were very, very unlucky to go down to Fulham the match before.

Chelsea v Sunderland.

Man City v Sunderland.

Both of these games were at home for the big boys, and both dropped points. We did good, proud of the lads.

Another thing I forgot to add, was the goals and the scoreline that gave them encouragement.

At 0:2 we were comfortable,
At 1:2 they had the bit between their teeth
At 1:3 the pressure eased
At 2:3 they were throwing the kitchen sink at it.

The fact that everytime they scored it bought them within a goal of a draw had a large part to play in it also.

I don't think we were comfortable at all at the beginning of the 2nd half when we were still 2-0 up. They also scored their 2nd goal when they were dominating. They scored because they threw everything at us and we couldn't defend.

Bloody hell! 5 points clear with three games to go and still there has to be a negative! We won ffs!

As others have said, they were nervous. It's a situation the players aren't used to so it's bound to creep in. Norwich are fighting for survival also so will of course be right at us and trying to get a win to stay up.
