I agree with that. Saka on form is better than Freddie was, but that's not to say that Freddie wasn't a talented player. He was really good, loved by the fans and a good club man, but Saka is better.

Lehmann - Raya
Lauren - White
Campbell - Saliba
Toure - Gabriel
Cole - Timber
Ljungberg - Saka
Gilberto - Partey
Vieira - Rice
Pires - Martinelli
Henry - Havertz
Bergkamp - Odegaard

Keown - Tomiyasu
Cygan – Kiwior
Parlour - Zinchenko
Edu - Jorginho
Reyes - F.Vieira
Kanu - Jesus
Wiltord - Trossard

Clichy - Nelson
Aliadiere - Nketiah
Bentley - Smith Rowe
Hoyte - Elneny

I actually reckon the back four is better now. Front two are miles off though!
Raya/Ramsdale
White/Timber--Saliba/Tomiyasu--Gabriel/Kiwior--Calafiori/Zinchenko
Partey/Rice/Jorginho
Odegaard/Smith Rowe----Rice/???

ROFLMAO. Do you know what it means to be Invincible? It means to go unbeaten all season. You known who has the biggest hand to play in that? The defense! How can this lot be better than the defense that went unbeaten all season? Unbeaten 49 straight games. I think they lost six games across three seasons or some insane stat like that.

I don’t think you can possibly leave out Campbell, only Saliba gets close to him but is still a distance off, Campbell was immense.

I’d play Campbell and Saliba, no reason why you can’t, CBs can play either side, Toure was great at the time, but his height and his performances in later years go against him, I think he needed a natural CB alongside him, Saliba and Campbell are too CBs in their own right.

Saliba and Saka are the the only two that get in for me.

Also think I’d have Lauren over White, Lauren was underrated but such a good full back.

Surly the mid 3 in today's football would be Gilberto Rice vierra with Bergkamp sitting in front of that assisting Henry
Defensively you would never concede

if we’re going pre invincibles for me its:

Seaman
Lauren
Adams
Campbell
Petit
Vieira
Pires
Sanchez
Bergkamp
Henry

Sanchez actually could play on the right and did for Udinese and Barca and he was a lethal finisher and for me better than Saka.

Adams and Campbell are the best centre halves I’ve seen play for us, as much as I like Saliba hes not at their level.

Gilberto vs Petit is a good debate, win a title and Rice is in that discussion too.

Always preferred Petit, thought the Petit Vieira partnership was the best we ever had.

Petit actually regrets leaving but said his wife wanted to move and that’s why he left.

Petit was a fantastic player with a great passing range.
