Think you are wrong about no Ferguson's team would get close to this Liverpool side.
The 1998/1999 teams were a much better side.
As it stands you may be right, but if Liverpool go on to complete any two of the following;
1. Unbeaten league season
2. 100+ pt league season
3. CL winners
Particularly if those two are 1 and 3, then they would have pissed all over the 99 side from a great height.
You do know that treble means winning three competitions. So winning two competitions does not better winning three, no matter how you do it.
Edit: but being not as good as a treble winning team certainly doesn't mean this is a bad Liverpool team. They are clearly the best in the league and have been building to this for a few seasons now, so its good to know that faith and patience is still here somewhere
I agree with you. However you do know that Liverpool have already won two competitions this season, right?
Yes,and while not downplaying the fact that someone has to win them, both wins are based on the previous season and are made up of a total of 3 games.
Clubs go through phases of teams and when you are talking about great teams, I think the 99 Treble team still comes second to the 2007-2011 United team who won three leagues, a CL (incl. 3 finals), two league cups, and an intercontinental cup in 4 seasons. All when the rest of the league was great and Europe had amazing teams too.
