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
