BRENDAN RODGERS: I Won`t Act Like Jose Mourinho

Brendan Rodgers insists he will never indulge in mind games like Jose Mourinho, but claims his Chelsea rival is RIGHT to suggest the title is Manchester City’s to lose.

Ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford, talkSPORT spoke with Rodgers and he again played down Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League, despite his side sitting in second.

And he reckons City, nine points behinds leaders Chelsea but with three games in hand, can be confident of securing the trophy.


Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the Reds boss 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.”
