Liverpool not good enough for title challenge, predicts Chelsea boss Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has cast doubt over Liverpool’s ability to challenge for the Premier League by claiming their squad isn’t good enough.

The Chelsea boss saw his own title aspirations take a dent at the weekend following the 2-0 reverse at Newcastle, but when running the rule over the rest of the contenders, Mourinho identified the Reds as the weakest link.

‘I think City has the most incredible squad,’ Mourinho said. ‘I think United is United, and history makes them contenders, too.

‘Tottenham is the big spender of the summer and, because of that, they have a fantastic squad with two teams of equal players.’

‘At Arsenal, the manager is building a team step by step – the club is stable and buying a player like Mesut Ozil makes a difference.

‘Liverpool are probably the club with least resources because, while their team looks as strong as the others, their squad doesn’t look quite so strong.

‘At the same time, they don’t play in European competition, so they only play one match a week, so they are training, preparing and resting for the weekend match while the rest of us are playing in Europe.’
