Varadi

He's neat and tidy but still frustrating with his tendency to go backwards. Has to be said that playing in centre midfield must be so much easier when Tiote is in beast mode rather than alongside a strolling and pointing Shelvey.

Aye, he doesn't seem to get caught out much, but when he does has the recovery pace to get back in. Adding a goal was a nice bonus as well.

Rafa will be well up for this one, he'll know the scousers love Klopp already so will be desperate to show he's still top boy I reckon.

He's just so good man, I wouldn't even be that arsed about relegation if he agreed to stay and rebuild us.

Really? What am I missing? Leiecester look to be wobbling, Vardy banned and Spurs absolutely flying, think it's very unlikely they'll be more than 3 points ahead before the final game.

The lack of a goalscoring centre forward is still going to be the thing that sends us down I reckon, Rafa has got the defence looking so much more solid, but he's seriously handicapped by his striking options.

Best manager since Sir Bobby, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have competent leadership.

Certainly more mobile, gives me more confidence generally.

So frustrating, with that 2 week break he would've had another month with the players and we would have been hitting this kind of form in time for the games against Nowrwich and the mackems. Idiots.

Makes such a huge difference having a centre half that attacks and wins everything in the air, something we've been missing for absolutely ages.

The Tiote of old that was, need him playing like that for the rest of the season.

Would like to think he comes on with a point to prove....

You just never see calls that wrong in the Premier League ffs, absolutely outrageous call.

Don't tempt fate ffs!

We've actually been the better team here, really hope we can keep it going. Bonus that City started such a strong team, they don't actually have the usual range of terrifying sub options.

Sorry mate, that ones in the bag now :-) I'm lumping on a home win now to complete the set Disturbing lack of willingness to take one for the team Congratulations btw!

I've got the mackems getting 7 more (beat Everton and Watford, draw with Arsenal) which leaves us needing 10. Looking very unlikely.

Wouldn't have even been a surprise if it was the De Jong thread

Would've given all 3 penalty calls the other way myself - think the one on Huth was the most clear-cut.

Very harsh pen imo

Daft thing is the ball was still there to be won, if he got up and went for it instead of sitting there appealing he would have been fine

Just checked: 21 points from 18 games Dummett started, 1.17ppg 7 points from 15 he missed, 0.47ppg Suggests we would be in a much better position had he stayed fit.

What, he's still giving them shit after a 3-0 win? Think I like this lad

Looking at the fixtures I thnk Norwich are screwed tbh, but I can see the mackems beating Everton and Watford (17th & 19th in the current form table) and getting a point off Chelsea or Arsenal, which would leave us needing 10 more to stay up. Think we've left it just a little too late tbh.

He was still shit, was completely skinned at one point, fortunate not to lead to a goal. Whatever division we play in next year an upgrade for LB is sorely needed. Don't think he was shit at all tbh - Colback at LB against the mackems was shit, Anita playing there at Southampton was shit and who can forget Aarons against Chelsea - Dummett is just solid but unspectacular.
