Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers that he will never support Jose Mourinho’s mind games, but says the Portuguese manager is correct when he points out that it is Manchester City’s title to lose.
Ahead of Liverpool’s big match against Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend Rodgers spoke to TalkSport and played down Liverpool’s chances of winning the league despite the fact the Reds are currently in second place.
Speaking on the Alan Brazil breakfast show Rodgers said: “I have learnt a lot from Jose. He is a great man and we remain close, but we are two different people. I have never made a big push publicly about us winning the title.
“It is not about playing down expectations or mind games, it is just about taking a humble approach to the season and how we have worked and because the players are doing all the talking on the field.
“He [Mourinho] is right in saying Manchester City are the club that has the power, in terms of squad. They have three games in hand. Win them and they go the top. And they will expect to win them.”
