2 - 0 down to Bolton, 1 - 0 Down to Liverpool (in which we did not play well) are examples of this.
The true test I think came at Stoke. A hard game, Chelsea had lost, and we were 1 - 0 down. To have actually gone on to win that game was excellent.

As much as I'd prefer Arsenal to win it, I don't think they have sorted out their consistency issues, they have already lost six matches, the fact they are still in the race says more about how much weaker Chelsea, Utd and Liverpool have become than anything else imo. The pleasing thing about the Stoke game was how they reacted to Ramsey's injury, a couple of years ago they fell to bits with Eduardo's horror injury, this time they didn't and that bodes well.
