Paul Scholes said on BBC Radio 5 Live that the current Liverpool team are not as good as the Manchester City side that won the Premier League title with 100 points.
City won the league title in 2017-18 with 100 points, and Pep Guardiola’s side clinched the championship again last season.
However, this season, it is Liverpool who are on the verge of winning the Premier League title.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are as many as 22 points clear of second-placed City, and it is only a matter of time before they are crowned champions.
Manchester United legend Scholes believes that the current Liverpool team get the job done, and does not think that they are better than the City side that won the championship in 2017-18.
Scholes said when asked if Liverpool are better than the City team of 2017-18: “No, not particularly no. I still think Pep’s team will always play better football than this Liverpool team.”
Scholes added: “They get the job done, no fuss about it.”

I'm a United fan but as a true football fan, this Liverpool is MILES better than that Man City.....they've manged to go unbeaten and are on course to try and break Arsenal's invincibles record, I can understand why Scholes or any United legend would say that because they'll refuse to admit that this Liverpool are brilliant, and I speak from my own heart

Scholes dont know his left foot from his right as a pundit. Liverpool are miles ahead of City of last year. It's his bias speaking cos of the United and Liverpool rivalry. Only pundit that deserved to be taken seriously now manages Spurs. If Liverpool go unbeaten this season with the points theyll accumulate, they overtake treble United...

The talk of a jealous and angry soul. The words of a certified enemy of progress and good deeds of others. I'm disappointed in you Mr Scholes. You said this all because you are blinded by the age-long bitter rivalry and supremacy battle between Liverpool and Man U. Deep down, I know you know that your words here are far from the truth. Any way, I still shake my head for you for saying such.

Liverpool are More better because there was a huge Lack of competitiveness amongst the Big 6th teams this season...So it's fair to say Liverpool have done a good job ,I don't think it will be same 22point lead next season, but let's all Give Liverpool Credit for taking their chance and ending a huge 30 year wait for a Premier League title...

How can you say this Liverpool team is no better than City's 17-18 or 18-19 season. I think they are far better off. 1. This same team pushed City's team to the wire last season in EPL. 2. This same team won champions league by beating all comers. 3. This same team won UEFA Super cup. 4. This same team won World Club cup. 5. This same are pushing for EPL glory this season by remaining unbeaten in 25 matches bar 1 match drawn. 6. They are still very much alive in UEFA Champions league & FA Cup. I think Paul Scholes needs to wake up from slumber. He's a joker.

Scoles keep your mouth shut. Go fix Man United so they can get the job done. Otherwise don't compare Liverpool with Man City

Today’s Liverpool is better than City in 17/18. We played very beautifully in that season, but a bit like this season, there wasn’t much competition so I wouldn’t say that City side was our best performing. But City in 18/19 was a different beast altogether and is the better team of the three by a long shot. Dominant, able to grind out results, had the mentality to overcome an 8 point deficit to win, and ran riot against one of Europe’s best teams 6-0 at home.
