Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard, who produced another talismanic match-wining performance when he scored twice in yesterday's 3-0 defeat of West Ham United at Upton Park, feels that further reinforcement of the team is necessary in this summer's transfer window, if the Reds are to develop and end their long wait for a league title next season.
With Manchester United beating their local rivals Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford today, Saturday's victory in east London begins to look a little hollow, as the Red Devils moved three points clear of the Merseyside outfit, with a game in hand.
Only two fixtures remain for Gerrard and company, and it looks as though even the indomitable skipper's mind has begun to turn towards next season.
"We've shown this year we've made massive strides and there has been big progression," he told Setanta Sports.
"I think every squad, no matter how successful you are, still needs strengthening and changes.
"I don't think this team needs many changes because the players in the squad are very good. If we can get a couple in and get stronger, of course we want them."
Earlier media reports in England had intimated that Reds manager Rafa Benitez is set to rid himself of eleven players in the summer. No firm targets have yet become apparent as their replacements though.
