I'm going out on a limb and stating that our next five matches, although far weaker on paper than our games versus Spurs and City, will prove to be a larger test as to the character of this team than that shown in those two superb games vs top opposition.
Since Ole has taken over, it has been proven since the beginning that Ole's United do not struggle against top sides that play expansive football against us, since our counter-attacking emphasis flourishes in these circumstances. Rather, many of the points dropped have been in games when we've played abysmally versus teams that sit behind the ball, invite the pressure and counter us. We have plenty of answers for top clubs who give us spaces, but we have few answers for little clubs who ask us to break down their deep defensive lines.
This is why we shouldn't take too much from these last two games. They're not the type of games we've struggled with most.
Norwich, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sheff. Utd and Villa will tell us much more about this team than the wins versus City and Spurs.
Can we break down deep, defensive lines? That's the question.
