Arsenal fans do have a habit of overly praising their players but Bergkamp wasn’t one of them.

I laugh every time Troopz, Robbie and DT bang on about how world class Wilshere is and he’d ‘walk into any top 6 team’. He’s absolutely bobbins.

Sykes what the strawberry float lad?

Yeah Liverpool fans are renowned for being down to earth with appraisals of their players.

Wilshere is miles better than Chamberlain, Henderson and Milner.

Yorke, Cole and Beckham in 99.
Henry, Pires and Bergkamp.

There’s another three.


No doubt Liverpool are very good and those three are very good together. But talk about hyperbole and getting carried away.
Let’s see what they win as already stated.

Bias is obviously showing but this has to be the one for me, with the best overall duo out of any of these suggested trios.

Definitely. Liverpool's front have been great this season but Salah is stand out player of the trio by a country mile.

They were always fun to watch at their peak (Even if Bergkamp was a little overrated) but they don't really fit the criteria of a front three.

Bergkamp overrated!?

And Aliens is ok. Both on the same day.

Any answer to Bergkamp criticism should just show a gif of any number of the sumptuous strikes he did. Ludicrous opinion.

His brain and passing ability (besides his own threat) released Pires, Henry, Anelka and Overmars to wreak havoc. He was instrumental in all three of Arsenal's titles.

Unplayable on his day and merely excellent most of the other time.

I put Beckham in there because he had a phenomenal season in 99 and got so many assists and was a huge threat on the right wing and at set pieces. You can swap him with Giggs if you like who often you used to play and swap positions with Cole up front.


I'd still put Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo in 2008 and Pires, Bergkamp and Henry well ahead of the Liverpool three. Even if Liverpool go on and win the CL.

We can always revisit this in a few a seasons. Provided Liverpool can keep them of course.

Absolutely, nearly everyone who has played with him says he is best player they have ever played with. Physkes, he was without question one of the best players around at the time.

Yeah Beckham was awesome that season. To be fair you could have put Scholes in there as one of the forward 3.

I'd agree just because all of those players are phenomenal in there own right, take Salah out of the Liverpool's top 3 and it's completely ordinary.

Bergkamp was a superb player, one of the best to grace the Premier League. Used to go along to Arsenal a lot when I lived in London. They were a really good team but Bergkamp was wonderful to watch.
I remember the league cup quarter final in 1996 - it was a cracking 2-2 draw, and he was terrific, scored a belter too.

But Villa were better, obviously.

yeah no - that team played 442, Beckham was a right midfielder, never a front member in a three, no matter how you want to interpret his role.

Kinda proving my point there man.

EDIT: Apart from the fact that Chamberlain and Milner easily beat him in offensive stats, all 3 dwarf him in defensive ones.

Wilshere has 2 goals and 3 assists in all competitions this season, he makes 0.6 tackles per game.

Pesky things those stats.

[Denster]

They’re a good front three who have had a good season. One of them has had a great one that could become a fantastic season.
Let’s leave it at that for now.

[Preezy]

Watched this last night:



United vs Arsenal was such an epic rivalry, I doubt we'll see anything quite like it again

[Drumstick]

It's a bummer that Ox-Cham is going to miss the WC. I think he's come on quite a bit under Klopp and would have had him on the bench at worst.

[Tomous]

He’d have been a great option from the bench for England, if not a starter. He’s been in great form for Liverpool.
