Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has said that Liverpool must start winning games if they want to win the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City.
Liverpool missed their chance to top the Premier League table following their 0-0 draw with Everton on Sunday.
Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 1-0 on Saturday to occupy the number one position on the English top-flight league table.
Pep Guardiola’s men have 71 points from 29 games, while Jurgen Klopp’s side have 70 points from the same number of games.
Mourinho said he has seen a big change in Liverpool in recent months and the Reds’ inability to win games without playing well could yet cost them the Premier League title.
“I think Liverpool are not the same as they were a few months ago when everything was going in their direction,” Mourinho told beIN Sports.
“This Salah chance would be a goal and I don’t think these little things aren’t as good as before. He would have scored, even with the right foot or a bad shot, with a rebound.
“My last match at Manchester United against Liverpool, the two winning goals were deflections. They had moments and I think these are not the moments.
Mourinho added: “I don’t think it’s a misfortune but it’s just moments.
“The same happened to Roberto Firmino a couple of weeks ago and he’s coming back now. Is he fit to start the game? Probably not and that’s why he’s on the bench. There are these little problems.
“Man City got one doubtful penalty but they win. At Bournemouth it’s difficult but Mahrez scores with his right foot so even not playing well they are winning.
“I think Liverpool need to win and recover the first position
“For my experience, it is very difficult to win a title when you start losing momentum.
“You have little moments when you go down and at that moment it is very important you win.
“In my last title with Chelsea we had a match with QPR, who were already relegated, and we won minute 91. We played badly but we didn’t concede and in the key moment of the game we scored.
“We played awful but we won and I think Liverpool are in these moments. Against Manchester United Liverpool should win that match but they didn’t.
“Even in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, they are not sharp.
“I think they are also in trouble for the Champions League. 0-0 at home is not a bad result at all but I don’t see them going to Munich and imposing themselves. I think they are in this moment so-so.”
