Jose Mourinho says it is impossible to compare Tottenham and Liverpool due to the time Jurgen Klopp has spent at Anfield.
The German has lead Liverpool to the Champions League and Premier League during his five years in charge on Merseyside.
Both teams are sitting top of the Premier League table ahead of their clash at Anfield on Wednesday.
Klopp said on Tuesday that Mourinho had turned Spurs into a 'result machine', but the Portuguese disagrees.
He said: "I am the same guy, nothing changed, it's just perception.
"Jurgen says that because if you look to our results this season, we lost one in the Premier League and we lost one in the Europa League so our results are very positive.
"But I think it's too early, and the period of good results is about a few months and a results machine of course is much more than that. A result machine is what Liverpool has been for the past couple of years, a result machine was what my Chelsea was in the period we won the two consecutive titles.
"We are a good team that works hard but I would say Liverpool is the result of if I'm not wrong 1,894 days of work with Jurgen. 1,894 – if I'm wrong I'm wrong by a few days.
"We are the result of work of 390 days, but these 390 days are fake, because probably lots of these days were not even days of work but days of quarantine, days of being at home unable to work.
"So from almost 2,000 to 300. For us to be able to compete at the level we're doing I can only give credit to the players and be very, very happy with what they're doing."
