This team may not have a Gerrard or a Suarez or an Alonso but what it does have is the ability to win games when it's not at its best, not just any old games either, high stakes high pressure games.
Make no mistake if we would have lost or even drawn that game yesterday it would have made the evening news and headlines like 'chokers' and 'bottle jobs' would have been splashed all over the backs of the papers this morning.
Nicking games is an art form, you have got to be rock, rock solid at the back and you need players at the other end of the pitch with the character to seize the moment when it comes.
No team plays well week in week out for 9 solid months and that's why league champions have all had the ability to pick up points when they aren't firing on all cylinders, this is probably the first team we've had in 30 years that can consistently do that.
We've had teams in the past who have won the odd game here and there when not at their best but they couldn't sustain it, sooner or later they'd drop points, this team to their great credit just keeps on going.
