That's the verdict of talkSPORT pundit Ray Wilkins in reponse to Jurgen Klopp's claim that the Reds can still compete in the title race.

Liverpool saw their season stall again on Sunday when they drew 1-1 with Newcastle United at St. James' Park.

That result leaves them in seventh position - seven points adrift of Manchester City and Manchester United.

Speaking on talkSPORT on Monday, Wilkins insisted Liverpool are not in with a chance of securing their first ever Premier League title this term.

Wilkins said: "We've got Jurgen Klopp saying they're in contention for winning the league and they're seven points behind Man City.

"We’re talking five points [from safety for Crystal Palace] and he's seven points behind Man City!

"For me they've got no chance of winning the league!"

Wilkins' comments came off the back of Klopp suggesting Liverpool can contend for honours, despite the draw at Newcastle.

Klopp said: “I really think it looks like we are not far away from a real challenger.

"If we do what we are good at then we can score more goals and we will win more games and we don't have to think about other teams and we will close the gap.

"No, I cannot talk about our football and the gap between us and other teams. We have our hard moment. Other teams will have their hard moment.

"We need to work on our thing. It is all about our situation, we are not thinking about where the others are.

"I have not seen a drop in confidence from the players. It is our duty to be confident because the boys have the quality.

"We need to play football. If you try and try and try and it doesn’t work it is not it. Then Phil [Philippe Coutinho] scores the goal of the moment and we make one mistake. We made one real mistake. I’m not sure who was responsible and then at the end, unlucky, it is one-one."

Liverpool take on rivals Manchester United after the upcoming international break.
