Jose Reina has become the latest Liverpool player to defy the Premier League table by suggesting they played better football throughout the season than Manchester United.
The Spaniard, recently called in the national squad along with Anfield colleagues Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Albert Riera, and full-back Alvaro Arbeloa told Setanta: “Sincerely, I understand that Liverpool played better football than United in the league, including during our huge win at Old Trafford.”
“Not finishing the work off in decisive moments was a blow. We conceded too many draws, and at the end of the day it made a difference compared to Manchester United’s campaign.”
“Right now it is time to analyse what went wrong, what is the reason why we are not the champions. Then, we will correct our mistakes and start next season like a rocket!”
“The squad cannot be happy with this vice-champion finish, as a trophyless season will always be a failure for The Reds.”
He added: “To my mind, the difference between United and us is very thin, just three or four points after 38 games is nothing, just a game. I want to say that our squad is capable of winning the Premier League title.”
Liverpool showed Championship winning form in the second half of the season, scoring more goals than Manchester United, while also losing fewer games.
They became the first club to lose just two games and not win the Premier League, yet still finished four points adrift of Manchester United.
