Best Club Side You Have Ever Seen Ever

[pipnasty]

Apart from Liverpool, what is the best club side you have ever seen?

 

For me, the AC Milan team with Gullit and Van Basten have got to be up there. But, I think the Barcelona team of 2010 - Messi, Villa, Xavi etc - are still the best I have seen. Liverpool at their best would have battered either of them, like.

 

So, go on then

[Hassony]

Barca with Messi, Suarez and Neymar were special, better than the 2010 version in my opinion

[Nebraska Red]

Being one of the older forumites, I give you Ajax and Red Star Belgrade from the distant past. From recent times, I'd also go with the Barcelona team that beat Juventus in the CL final.

[Benzo-13]

I liked Van Gaal’s Ajax side. The Bosman ruling destroyed them but the players were incredible. They danced all over a decent Bayern in one game.

 

No time for Barca.

[Conrad]

Either Kendall’s Everton or the 99 Man Utd side

[muleskinner]

A couple of the Barcelona incarnations, AC Milan of the Gullit era, would like to have seen more of Flamengo and the South Americans of that era too.

[Conrad]

I wish I’d seen cruyff’s Ajax

[Earl Hafler]

Of the great teams not yet mentioned, I enjoyed watching the Bergkamp / Henry inspired Arsenal in their pomp - the one side back then against which I never wanted us to play

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Either Kendall’s Everton or the 99 Man Utd side

 

the 99 Utd side wasn't that good

 

Best I've seen is Liverpool reserves

[Conrad]

I wasn’t being serious!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

phew

[épieur]

Peps Barcelona stands out

 

For me the mid 90s Juventus side comes closes. A side decades ahead of its time in terms of squad depth and rotation, tactical fluidity and midfield control.

[cymrococh]

Rafa's Valencia, or that Madrid side that bummed the Mancs at theirs.

[Ombudsam]

One of the iterations of Guardiola’s Barca.

 

Anyway, this City team could be the greatest in the Premier League era if they retain this title but how many of their players get into an all time Premier League XI.

I think that’s a it hipster but Nedved’s or Zidane’s. It can’t be the one that beat Ajax in 96

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Rafa's Valencia, or that Madrid side that bummed the Mancs at theirs.

 

rafa's Valencia were good - late 80s/early 90s Milan but hard to say with the ban

[kop205]

Rafa's Valencia

 

Yeah, they were a proper f***ing team

 

Arsenal as well were good.

 

Limiting it to sides we've come up against.

Yes, that time we somehow managed a 2-2 draw against them at Anfield they were brilliant.

 

Unfortunately I would also have to say the Chelsea team that t****** us 4-1 in 05/06.

[Maldini]

Barca with Messi, Suarez and Neymar were special, better than the 2010 version in my opinion

 

No Xavi no party

[New York Red]

Ajax. 71-73.

 

Cruyff

Rep

Neeskens

Krol

Suurbier

Hahn

Keiser

Muhren

 

 

Just awesome.

 

Although the Bayern side following up after them was pretty awesome too.

I wasn’t being serious!

 

You had me going. Was about to suggest burning you as a witch!

[Conrad]

I did have a soft spot for the villa side of Mortimer, shaw, withe, cowans and Morley

Not a great side by any means but certainly achieved a lot

[épieur]

I think that’s a it hipster but Nedved’s or Zidane’s. It can’t be the one that beat Ajax in 96

Zidane's, the year after, after Baggio, ravanelli and vialli were just straight up sold for del piero, boksic and Vieri. They absolutely destroyed everyone that season except for a jammy Dortmund team in the final.

 

Three finals in a row and 2-0 up in the last semi the year after that with only one trophy to show for it. They were a bit unlucky.

[Stevie H]

remember thinking sacchi's milan were pretty devastating. tassotti, baresi, costacurta and maldini at the back with the three amazing dutchmen ahead of them. donadoni and ancelotti weren't bad either.

[doug_mac]

Barca with xavi/ iniesta/busquets/ alves/villa all in their pomp. Messi playing in the centre with pedro and villa wide of him. Schooled the mancs in the champions lge final 2011. Dani alves was the bol!ox back then. Pity we didnt sign him when rafa wanted him

Their 5-0 dismantling of Real Madrid was extraordinary to watch.
