Peter Crouch has dismissed Jose Mourinho's comments about Liverpool's ability to challenge for the Premiership title this season and declared: "We must be on his mind."
The Chelsea boss insisted yesterday that Liverpool will finish behind his side, Manchester United and Arsenal at the end of this season's title race.
Crouch, however, believes the fact Mourinho has once again decided to speak about Liverpool indicates that, deep down, he's worried by the progress Rafael Benitez continues to make at Anfield.
"We haven't said a single thing about Chelsea and have been concentrating solely on ourselves," said Crouch. "If Mourinho is talking about us again, we're obviously on his mind.
"We're confident when the season starts we'll show what we're about. How many teams in the Premiership will be playing with two out-and-out wingers this season? We've got some of the best passers of the ball in the world, never mind the Premiership.
"There are no better passers than Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, and everything we do at the club is all about receiving the ball and playing a good style."
