Dr_Pangloss Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I've seen a lot better footballing teams in my time than this Man City one, so overrated. United, well, what a load of garbage, Mourinho is just a higher level Allardyce. Edited December 11, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First team to win 14 league games in a row in a single season. Dropped 2 points all season, 11 points clear at the top.

VillaChris Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This Man. City team will be better than the Invincibles I reckon. Will beat 90 points which is what Arsenal got that year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The invincibles probably played the prettiest, more controlled and composed football but they drew a lot of games. The Chelsea double team under Mourinho was probably the best football machine we have ever seen, they played one way, won a lot of games, ground out results, went 2-0 up, killed the game. No messing. United 99 just blew teams away, they had out and out strikers options like nothing else and were hard as nails, in your face. They got the ball from the back to front quickly. and won games on intimidation alone. I think this Man City teams beats all of them. They are incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Bayern under Heynckes final season (before his comeback) is the best football I ever seen. Both results and style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona is maybe the only comparison. Man Utd’s treble team were very good, won a lot, but didn’t have the dominance that this City team has. The impressive thing was the competitiveness across the board - however, they won the title by a point, amassing only 79 points overall. Similarly Arsenal invincibles, they drew a lot and didn’t dominate games. Not the same level. I understand that winning things is the marker and doing it with a note (“treble”, “unbeaten”) makes it stand out. However, there’s not been a better domestic side that I’ve seen. I guess the test is if they can keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 agree with that, utd may have won the treble and had a very good squad but i dont remember them playing mind blowing football, dont really remember any fergie team being incredible on the eye, they were brilliantly effective arsenal are the best english team ive seen, could watch them all day, bergkamp is my favorite non villa PL player, henry was henry, pires and ljungberg were almost as good as young and downing... ajax team was great but i dont know if that was because of my age and getting in to european football for the first time, cant really remember milan, pep's barca is still the best I've seen, never get the credit for the work they did off the ball, big part of the possession stuff wasnt just the successful passing percentages, it was how quickly they pressed and got the ball back when they lost it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Its the best football I have seen in my life time by an English side whether they are the best team we'll have to wait and see. Will have to win the champions league to eclipse the United and Liverpool ones. The Ajax one of the early 70s was something else.
