Champions League challengers, but Premier League also-rans – Ince questions Liverpool’s title credentials

The Reds have shown that they can compete with the best in Europe this season, but domestic inconsistencies have scuppered any hopes of a title bid

Liverpool may be Champions League challengers, but Paul Ince sees inconsistency leaving them a long way short of a Premier League title bid.

The Reds’ heroics in Europe this season have left them 90 minutes away from a semi-final berth, with a commanding 3-0 advantage held over Manchester City heading into the return leg of a last-eight encounter.

A sixth continental crown could be on the cards, but domestically Jurgen Klopp’s side sit 17 points adrift of Pep Guardiola’s champions-elect at the Etihad Stadium.
