Which players from this Liverpool team would get into a combined 11 with Arsenal 01-04 or United 99-01? Maybe Trent, Alisson and VVD would get into The Invincibles, but Trent and Alisson are very debatable. Trent, VVD, Salah, Robertson and Firmino could make it into United 99, but that is pushing it on a few of them. They are absolutely a top 5 team of all time in England, but first is very reactionary and a bit over the top. Not sure if they are better than the City team from 2017-18 either. They are great to watch and completely dominant, the way they built it deserves all respect too ( unlike the titles City and Chelsea purchased). Klopp is an absolute genius just like Wenger and Fergie.
It is very much up for debate whether or not the Invicibles are the best EPL team ever or not.The invincibles played in a much tougher era when teams would win the league on about 78-80 points, a time in which any PL team could beat anyone. On paper the invincibles are the best team in PL history, not even up for debate. Manchester United in 1999 are second, and far ahead of the rest. Not losing a single game is a testament to longevity more than anything else, getting 110 points but still losing would be less impressive.
The best player in PL history in Henry leading the line, all time great Bergkamp supplying him, the ultimate complete midfielder in Vieira commanding the midfield and a rock solid, no nonsense central defensive partnership. This Liverpool team would not stand a tiny little chance on earth against that.
Arsenal had the league wrapped up extremely early and drew most of the games they drew were very late on with a little amount of games to go in which they rested a bunch of stars, without that much to play for. People like to use draws as an argument against Arsenal, but the fact is, no team was that good against that high quaility opposition, and of course no one went unbeaten because it is basically impossible.

The only people I know that think the Invincibles are the best team ever are Arsenal fans. Before this season it was between Chelsea and recent City for me. Stretching back to last season and if this one continues as is it’s hard to look past 19/20 Liverpool.
This is just not that true.This Liverpool is the epitome of team over individual talent so I'm not sure why picking which individual players would make it into other teams should be meaningful....
That’s even before you get into an argument over midfielders, who are severely underrated and have physical abilities that make the squad go
Only Bayern Munich in 2013-2014 was close to this. They were 25-2-0. They drew their 28th game then lost the next two.26-1-0 in the best league in the world ATM - we've never seen this sort of run in history.

A Liverpool fan is making fun of another fan base for talking about history. The absolute nerve.I mean, we're fighting because it's squeaky bum time for Arsenal supporters.
The list of major accomplishments they can hang their hat on is that team. If this Liverpool team goes undefeated, and that's a pretty big if, they're not just going to replace them as 'invincibles', they're going to obliterate the comparison. As it stands, this Liverpool team has already gone a full calendar year, plus, without losing a match. Plus they actually won an European Cup.
If they lose that, I'm not sure all the vaunted youth products with comfort them.

It’s a media creation. I really believe It’s not about who is better or worse, and if LFC does accomplish that, it’s not going to bury Arsenal either. It’s tough to compare those teams. It is a completely different era. Both groups can be happy. We can revisit this after week 38I mean, that's part of it. As we get closer and closer, Arsenal supporters are going to come out of the woodwork hoping it doesn't happen.
Why else are we having the ludicrous discussion that the invincibles are clearly better. Liverpool have already done it for a fully calendar year. They've won way more matches over that stretch.
