Liverpool fans hit out at Manchester City after Jamie O’Hara’s claim about the two clubs

A number of Liverpool fans have been provoked into a reaction after comments made by former Premier League player Jamie O’Hara about their season compared to that of one of their rivals.

Speaking on talkSPORT [via Anfield Watch], the ex-Tottenham midfielder claimed that Manchester City will have had a better season than Liverpool if they win the Champions League, even if the Reds take the Premier League crown from Pep Guardiola’s side and win a first league title in 30 years, which looks likely given their 22-point lead.

Both clubs have already lifted two pieces of silverware this season. Liverpool claimed the UEFA Super Cup in August and added the Club World Cup four months later, while Manchester City lifted the Community Shield at the outset of the campaign and won the Carabao Cup last weekend.

However, the Etihad Stadium club were recently hit with a two-year ban by UEFA for “serious breaches” of the organisation’s Financial Fair Play regulations, meaning that even if they win their first European Cup in May (Liverpool have six), they would be unable to defend their crown.

These Reds fans on Twitter took umbrage with O’Hara’s comments and also had a swipe at the reigning Premier League champions over their off-field indiscretions:

ManCity winning UCL will be an insult to football. They haven’t earned it. They don’t deserve it. Especially not after Arsenal and Atletico Madrid failed to win it.

Only one trophy matters and Man City know it!

Who? Never heard of the guy. @LFC‘s target is PL Title…anything else – including a 7th European Cup – is a bonus. Just an aside, but – in all likelihood – City would justifiably be stripped of this season’s UCL in the extremely unlikely event that they won it…

That’s fine. We’re not competing with man city. Who the hell are man city. Liverpool only competes with itself to get better. We do that like always have we become the best ever. Automatically! Our priority this season is to win the PL. #LFC
