What is the best Liverpool team of all time? Part 1: Semi-Final

Download the LiveScore app! livescore.com/
Which is the best Liverpool team of all time? Tifo will use Football Manager to decide whether it's Jurgen Klopp’s current crop, the heroes of Istanbul - the 2005 Champions League-winning side, Bob Paisley’s 1976/77 side, or the treble-winning team of 1983/84.
Taking part in this challenge and managing these teams on FM22 will be Tifo’s Joe Devine, Alex Stewart, and JJ Bull, and they are joined by The Athletic’s Liverpool writer Caoimhe O’Neill. Hosted by Iain Macintosh.

The irony of the 04-05 team having a goal line controversy

[@sixxdb]

Huge yes for this concept - well worth repeating for other clubs/nations - late 80s Milan vs mid 2000s Milan would be massive. I'd love to see a "teams that could have been" tournament. Had West Ham/Southampton/Chelsea not let their best players go and kept them in their peak. I would argue that 88/89 (Rush, Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley etc) are unfortunate to miss out, but then so are the 13/14 side (Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling) and the 08/09 (Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano).

[@WaniZame]

I think the 2005 team is a weird pick in terms of quality as 88/2014 are much better picks. I know it’s scandalous to say among some Liverpool fans but I do think the current team is the best quality man for man we have had.

[@galty1987]

[@anty1975]

@@galty1987 Squads were much smaller back then. Liverpool 83/84 treble wininng side used all season only 13 or 14 players.

[@sixxdb]

I think this is all covered by the fact that footy is faster and physically more demanding these days. Only having fourteen players and one sub a game made sense when the game was played at that pace. It's also why the modern Liverpool would absolutely batter any previous Liverpool team before it, and is the best ever: different standards, different game.

[@shredmaster2000]

I've never seen a video with caoimhe but her personality cracked me up. Hearing what I assume to be JJ laughing at Alex also losing was pure gold as well

[@wugglebee9522]

Watching Joe torture JJ is just hilarious. Joe's giggling at Caoimhe's comment and seeing JJ's head drop was the highlight of the video. Although in fairness this wasn't really a level playing field. The home team's in each game have the advantage, plus as JJ pointed out modern Liverpool have the massive advantage of having great chemistry.

[@hyltonlamb6784]

Caoimhe messaging Carra for advice was such a flex

[@zeybarur]

I was so excited to watch a thoughtful discussion about my beloved club, but this was a joy to watch! Also, 23:05 I thought the exact same thing when I saw the lineup!

[@ruycosio6765]

Whenever Ian McIntosh appears at the begging of a Tifo video, you know it's going to be quality content

[@Groundsey]

This is amazing. Please do the same with Manchester United. 1968, 1994, 1999 and 2008 teams. Just make sure Joe Devine gets the 2008 team. England would be a good shout as well: 66 winners, either 90 or 96, the Golden era players 04 and the 2021 Euros team.
