Ferdinand claims Reds fear of talking league tiltle due to 30 years without it

  /  Rick

Rio Ferdinand has told BT Sport that he thinks Liverpool players are ‘scared’ of talking about winning the Premier League title.

Ferdinand admits that he thinks Liverpool’s players are fearful of making any outlandish public statements due to pressure of 'no titles in the domestic first division for 30 years'.

"Milner is the only one who has won a Premier League title in that dressing room so a lot will be looking at him, but a lot of them will using the manager as that yard stick, and saying we don’t want to get carried away," the former Manchester United defender said.

"Everyone does look at it and say it’s mundane, but you're scared. I was scared to get excited. I sense that a little bit with these guys.

"You're confident but you don't want to tempt fate, you don't want to bring yourself any bad luck, this club has gone 30 years without winning a league title so it’s all those little things that are building up and the pressure that comes from within the city."
