All things considered, player by player in the starting XI, that was probably our best squad we have ever had.
Vieira and Emerson were two out of the three best DM's in the world, Nedved was one of the top attacking all action midfielders in the world, Trez was perhaps the best finisher in the world, and Thuram and Canna were two of the top five centerbacks in the world, probably the best central duo by far. And of course, we had the best keeper in the world.
Without a doubt we probably had the strongest team sheet in the world at the time, which is why I hate Capello. We should have achieved much, much more with that team, but Capello really screwed us over in Europe. Utterly pathetic.
