It is difficult to disagree with Houllier, as although the Premier League is certainly more competitive and there is better
quality across the board
compared to the French top flight, this current PSG
squad is one of the strongest
in Europe.
He lacks experience at the highest level, with only one Champions League final appearance and two Bundesliga titles to his name when
compared to say Mourinho and Guardiola; and it is one thing competing with Jupp Heynckes, and then Guardiola one at a time, but competing with Mourinho, Conte, Guardiola, Wenger and Pochettino simultaneously, whilst they have
squad depth and
quality that makes a mockery of Liverpool's, and an inability on Liverpool's behalf to secure players that will improve the team to the level of the competitors makes the challenge of top four a remote one, and the ultimate challenge of returning Liverpool to the highest level
in English and European football minuscule.
