My biggest issue with Mike’s post is that he’s said looking at it objectively when there’s no objectivity in football.

I reckon 08/09 United could hang with both Liverpool and City nowadays. I don't think either team have as many world class players as that United team had. Their pretty much only weakness was Torres.

I think the rivalries between the top teams were a bit more box office back then which is probably colouring how I think of it. Like the all-English final in the 00's was an era-defining match. All-English *semi*-finals were era-defining matches. Spurs-Liverpool was just a wet blanket of a match with the better side winning (sorry Spurs fans). Probably a simplistic/reductive way to look at it but it might explain why some feel the 00's were better overall. The top teams are definitely more consistent and the top half have gone up a level in terms of quality without a doubt. I don't think players like Jiminez, Traore, Zaha for example would still be at the likes of Wolves and Palace in the 00s. Agreed with allah though, that United team were top notch. If you look at a combined 11 (always pointless fun) I dunno how many 100% certs you'd take from Liverpool or City, they are both incredible teams whereas United had so much individual quality in that side.

I might increase my shout of Leeds conceding 100 to 120. Fulham have been absolutely garbage and still scored 3.

has pogba ever showed this supposed world class talent at united outside of the occasional isolated game? honestly i saw biscan take the piss out of deportivo and leverkusen and he did more there than pogba has in 4 years at united now.
or is there something he does that i’m just missing?

How stupid was Oxlaide-Chamberlain earlier getting sent off for West Brom?

Pogba is the ultimate YouTube/MOTD midfielder. Nails the Hollywood pass and grabs himself goals but he isn't the driving force in midfield that top top players are.
