We actually made a show in both 2011 & 2015. So did Madrid a couple of times.

The only people comparing them to other teams from the past decade are some of you on here
The Barca 2009-2012 era is indisputably in the top 3 club sides of all time alongside the Real 60's and Milan 80's/90's sides. It would be idiotic to compare our team to that team.
If you can't see that Henderson and Wijnaldum in particular aren't just 'yard dogs' who run a lot then there isn't much else I can tell you as you obviously don't know much.
No one are calling them world class or belong to this category or that category but they do more than just run a lot and press. You just need to see Hendo's vision and pass to Mane in the club world cup final to realise that. Gini too can control, manipulate and manouevre the ball around. His in game intelligence is majestic both for us and Holland.
Neither will ever win any individual accolades and neither will get 10 goals or assists per season however they fit a specific role in the team and to simply say they just run around a lot and lack technique is just false.
The midfield will evolve though because Keita was bought to be a starter for us in midfield and Fabinho is a guaranteed starter when fit. Someone like Keita who offers penetrative runs (like Ox) is crucial for that next stage of the process of the midfield. Especially against low block teams where we will need that which Hendo and Gini do not possess the skill set for.
We face a difficult end of December and January though where we will probably drop points so I'm not taking anything for granted but yes it does feel pretty great right now.
P.s. As a footnote obviously putting different types of full backs in different systems will produce different results. Take Wan-Bissaka as an example. He's perfect for Utd because they play a system suited to defensive full backs and AWB is the ultimate defensive full back. So swap he and TAA and both will suffer because the two teams play systems not suited to their particular skill set. That is obvious surely.
Will these lot ever lose again?
lol.
imagine how coutinho feels right now

They're grinding results but the performances aren't too impressive
