I must say even at 3-0 up I was still nervous because I know how we've played at times this season. They scored and I started to get really nervous. We played really well, but managed to leak a couple goals again. If we don't stop that, how are we supposed to compete? Norwich missed a couple of sitters to be honest, and that would have put them right back in the game. We really need to tighten up back there and get things sorted.
With that said, absolutely thrilled with our offensive performance. We play like that week in week out and we won't lose many games. Suarez, Suso, Sterling, Sahin and Stevie were all really good, so pretty much if your name starts with an "S" you're golden. Allen had another good game, and Assaidi and Hendo looked good when they came on. Well done by Wisdom and Johnson on the wings offensively as well. Skrtel had that slip, but other than that him and Agger were decent.
One of our main problems I noticed is that when we switch Johnson to the left, he's guarding the byline with his weaker foot, and with a young inexperienced player at RB, we're always really prone to giving up crosses. We gave up an absolutely ridiculous amount of crosses today, and we were lucky they didn't really capitalize off of them (and they should have) I'm not sure what the Enrique situation is, but I feel we need to get Johnson back on the right.
