Liverpool fans will NOT like Jamie Redknapp's Man Utd and Arsenal claim about Man City
JAMIE REDKNAPP has seemingly ruled former side Liverpool out of the Premier League title race by claiming rivals Manchester City are the best team in the competition's history.
Premier League: 'Miracle’ will stop Man City winning says pundit
Manchester City went back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Cardiff.
Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to win the top flight in successive seasons for the first time in their history.
They are also aiming to become the first English team to win the quadruple.
City racked up 100 league points last term, becoming the first team to reach that landmark in the Premier League.
For me, the best side I’ve seen in the Premier League
They cannot reach a century this season but that has not stopped Redknapp claiming they are the best English team he has seen.
He puts them above Manchester United’s treble winners and Arsenal’s Invincibles.
“We’re talking about one of the best sides in the world,” Redknapp said on Sky Sports.
“For me, the best side I’ve seen in the Premier League.
Liverpool could LOSE title race because of Man City says Burley
“I played against the Invincibles, we saw the United team that were fantastic.
“I just think this side are so good, total football.
“I watched them against Fulham at the weekend, they come at you from every angle.
“Every player on the field had a shot on goal, it’s total football. It’s like the Dutch in the ‘70s.
“They are a wonderful side to watch.”
Former City striker Shaun Goater says the current Manchester City side are close to being the club’s greatest ever team.
“I think it is [the best City team ever],” Goater said.
“In saying that, they’ve only got one trophy.
“Can they go on to win the league again?
“And then I think we would be saying yes, it’s the best team.”
