Liverpool FC find themselves in a wonderful position but there is still a long way to go. This team keeps winning huge games but still there’s nothing to hold above your head.

You have to go again and again. It’s tough but then winning trophies is not meant to be easy.

I feel for the players because the excitement around is at breaking point. Another three weeks is a long time for the players to keep ignoring all the hype.

As a player you want the games to come thick and fast, you don’t want to be waiting a week.

As the fans get carried away, players have to approach it in a different way and try to stay out of it. Even in midweek, the focus was back on Liverpool after Man City dropped points at home to Sunderland.

Ten points from four games to win the title seems straightforward enough but there might still be a banana skin somewhere for us.

Everyone is talking about the Chelsea game as being a title decider but don’t forget about Norwich City.

In normal circumstances you wouldn’t be worried about playing Norwich. We have better players than them but you can’t help but worry at this stage.

A noon kick-off on Sunday is awkward as no-one is used to that and with Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge missing, all of a sudden, a few things have gone against us.

We’ve run over Norwich in the last couple of seasons but I’m not convinced this will be the same.

I’m expecting a difficult game and the recent change of manager will help Norwich. If Chris Hughton had stayed in charge and we had gone in front early on, the fans would have turned on him. They’d had enough. It’s different now with Neil Adams as there will be more hope and spirit.

Don’t under-estimate what this game means to Norwich as they need a win. You have to respect them because they drew 0-0 with Man City and have only lost once at home in 2014. They don’t have great pace but they work very hard and could be difficult to break down.

The City game was everything we could have hoped for. The players don’t seem to be feeling the pressure and I hope that continues.

This is a massive story globally. It’s like the rebirth of a club left behind in the Premier League era.

Bosses hit the right notes

BOTH Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez were an absolute credit to their clubs and this city when they spoke at the Anfield memorial service to mark the 25th anniversary of Hillsborough.

They both said all the things that needed to be said – it was perfect. They were left in no doubt how they were received by the 25,000-strong crowd and those ovations were richly deserved.

What the Hillsborough cause means to everyone has been underlined by the fantastic response from both fans and former players to the ‘Celebration of the 96’ match at Anfield on Easter Monday.

It promises to be a special occasion as Kenny Dalglish’s UK and Irish Legends take on Gerard Houllier's Rest of the World Legends.

There will be some great names on show and I’m sure the likes of Sami Hyypia and Luis Garcia will get a wonderful reception.

Who has the edge? Well, the local lads have played a lot of games together but it’s fair to say Houllier’s line-up has the younger legs.

Kenny’s legends are going into it on a high after beating the Press 7-6 in a warm-up game at Melwood this week. At 5-1 down they were facing an embarrassing defeat, but they sneaked home. In the end, you could see why the Press boys only write about the game!

Joe Allen is best replacement for Jordan Henderson

I EXPECT Joe Allen to replace Jordan Henderson in the side for Sunday’s trip to Norwich City.

Allen is more comfortable with the pressing game than Lucas Leiva and I think he’s up to speed in terms of being able to play at that tempo.

You could play Lucas deeper but I just think you need to keep Steven Gerrard isolated in that holding role as his form has been that good.

Daniel Sturridge is also set to miss out and the manager doesn’t have many options up there.

He could play Lucas and Allen and move Philippe Coutinho out to one of the flanks but I'd say it’s more likely that Victor Moses will get a start.

Moses hasn't done much during his season-long loan from Chelsea but he could yet have a part to play in the title race.
