Bugger me , that was a nervous performance. Brilliant start , looked fabulous and the pace/movement up front was simply too much for Norwich. Sterlings first goal was fantastic and his pass for Suarez's was sublime.

Foot came off pedal a bit  , and also I think credit has to be given to Norwich- they didn't bum up and came and played really well , especially in second half. The fluidity in our play disappeared and often it seemed as if our only outlet was Sterling.But job done.

CHanges for Chelsea- I think we might see Agger in at back but we'll see.

Kopgoff , thanks so much for setting that up. Jr and I had a blast and can't wait til the Chelsea game. Cheers for organising it , especially with the extra hassle of yesterday.


Pleasure mate, thanks for coming along! This game was classic for a team nervous about their league position v a team fighting for survival. They've changed style to a pressing game and it got to us. As per City game we looked nervous with a lead and couldn't hold the ball. Southampton usually play like this against us and we really struggle. Good thing is, Chelsea don't press like that and if Palace go down a few early they'll not have same hunger to get back in it given they won't go down.
See you for Chelsea next week!
