If so Real Madrid 2014-2018 won 4 in 5 years and weren't really a great side Yes true but you can’t just win your domestic leagues and say your a great side, else I would have included the Man U side with Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez. I believe city need that trophy to be classed a great team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) So no treble for the Scousers then. It's all good with a record number points but what Man Ure achieved in 99 is unlikely to be repeated. Edited March 4, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its Celtic winning the 15th treble jn a row that's not so impressive Edited March 4, 2020 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 In 2001, Houllier's second full season in charge, Liverpoolwon a "Treble": the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup. Houllier underwent major heart surgery during the 2001–02 season and Liverpool finished second in the League, behind Arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team is better in the PL than the previous 2 years of city. That team was phenomenal. Liverpool are also class at the moment but I'll be amazed if in 10 years when their autobiography comes out, that they say Liverpool is a better side. Liverpool have been so average against lower teams this season. (It's also been a praise of them...be average and get by , so save energy to crush the higher teams with their press) but I don't know. City just better. Edited March 4, 2020 by Bugzy1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Liverpool team that blew city away in the champions league was more exciting to watch but I agree purely in the domestic football they are as good as anything that’s been. But with players like David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne that’s pure class that even Liverpool couldn’t match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugzy1991 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Liverpool didn't blow city in the champs league though. What happens if VAR is introduced. Still blown away? Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
