But there is a contradiction. The clear example is our next game v Aston Villa. A top 6 team which is also very defensive-minded. when they have to park the bus as they did vs Spurs, you can realize why they have the most efficient defence of the league. Villa's defenders are very very cautious, careful and coordinated. Once they score (like at OT), they know to interpret the different periods of the game, but never losing the capacity of retract to build a wall.

So, to unlock difficult/defensive opponents we need Berbatov, but Aston Villa is also a top 6 team.

It has to do more with the opponents football nature and not with the league positions.

Berbatov means intelectual game near the box. Not quick counter attacks, or lightening football.
