Liverpool's Reina: Man Utd nothing without Ronaldo

Jose Reina has wrote off their Premiership rivals and says Liverpool will win the title this season.

"We are top of the table and deserve to be there because you can no longer say that Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal are superior to us," Reina told the Daily Mirror.

"Chelsea's draw with us was unjust and Manchester United have been inconsistent so far and rely very heavily on Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I don't think Arsenal will win it this season either so Liverpool can now win the title and I think our rivals fear us."

The reason for Reina's confidence is simple, he believes Liverpool have the best manager with the best squad.

"Rafa Benitez is a big coach even if Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson get more space in the press. But that's not a problem because the papers have not been worried about us and that suits us fine.

"In the past, injuries have affected us badly but this time we have a squad to last us until the end of the campaign. We believe in ourselves and we feel we have the strength, players and ability to complete the season.

"We believe we can win the Premiership title and other trophies this season because we have such strength. We are all very happy now because I think we are showing that we can win the title this season. It's not madness to think like this, but a reality."
