Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool are only two signings away from creating a title-winning team.
‘We’ll do it next season’ has been an all too common catch-cry for Liverpool supporters over the last 17 years or so.
The most decorated club in England have failed to win the league title since 1990, when Kenny Dalgish steered them to their 18th league championship.
A return to the glory days appeared imminent when current boss Rafael Benetiz lead the Reds to a remarkable Champions League triumph in 2005, and yet the Merseyside giants have failed to finish higher than third during Rafa’s reign so far.
They will finish fourth this season, comfortable ahead of fifth-placed Everton but some ways behind third-placed Arsenal, in a season where many expected them to finally challenge for a maiden Premier League crown.
But Reds skipper Gerrard believes the team showed glimpses of what they are capable of this season, insisting that progress has been made and all that is needed is two more top-notch signings.
“We have proved this season that we are not as far behind the leaders as the table suggests,” the 27-year-old said. “We’re disappointed we didn’t maintain a challenge for longer.
“But hopefully we will invest in a couple of quality additions. We’re getting closer.
“I’ve been lucky and won more things than most but I’m greedy and want more with Liverpool.”
