O’Hara believes the league will be better off without weaker teams and has called on authorities to do so to make it interesting.
He made these comments following Norwich City’s poor start to life in the 2021/2022 Premier League season.
The Canaries returned to the English top flight after winning the Championship last season but their form in the Premier League is nothing to write home about.
Norwich notched up a run of 16 consecutive Premier League defeats prior to their stalemate against Burnley last weekend, stretching back to the last time they got relegated.
Daniel Farke’s side have just one point in their opening seven league games this campaign and O’Hara has labeled them as an ‘embarrassment.’
“There are 20 teams in the Premier League and it’s almost getting ridiculous with Norwich. They are yet to win a game,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.
“There are other teams involved in this – Southampton, Newcastle, Burnley and Norwich yet to win a league match this season.
“It starts to raise the question for me, Norwich have come into the Premier league again and are the whipping boys.
“I said it at the start of the season and I took a load of stick from Norwich fans who were saying ‘we’re going to have a go this season, we spent money, we’re going to be there’.
“Again they are showing they are an embarrassment to the Premier League. They’ve got one point and it’s just ridiculous.
“It raises the question of all these players being fatigued, too many games, the big teams looking at doing the Super League, which I’m against, but I think they are starting to get the hump with irrelevant football matches.
“I think you could drop it down to 18 teams and you get rid of the dross. Get rid of the teams who are no good, who are killing the Premier League, because it has got to such heights now.
“These games where you’ve got Norwich getting beaten all the time, coming up and just killing the Premier League, it’s just pointless.”
