Our new-found ability to win ugly when we have to has made all the difference this year. The matches at Anfield, Emirates, Nou Camp (even at Lyon) were so impressive from a 'team' perspective, but it doesn't always click up front. When it does, I think we are near unbeatable. When it doesn't, we at least have the fall-back that we are unlikely to concede.
