The financial difficulties of Liverpool's parent company Kop Holdings Ltd, and the knock-on effect this will have on the club's transfer dealings have been well documented, and club boss Rafael Benitez could be preparing for summer of thrift as he has already asked his squad players and younger members to step their game up next season.
Benitez has called on David Ngog, Nabil El Zhar, Ryan Babel, and Emiliano Insua, to show marked improvements next term. He is quoted by The Guardian as saying, "I'm positive because we were talking recently about how Fernando [Torres] and Steven Gerrard didn't play together for a long time.
"Hopefully, they will manage that more next season - and we also have good young players like David Ngog, Nabil El Zhar, Ryan Babel and Emiliano Insua coming through.
"We have a very good squad but we can still improve a little bit. How much - enough to win the title? I'm sure it will be enough to compete."
He continued, "We knew the situation in the world would be difficult this summer. Some clubs were asking for our players so the priority was to extend the contracts of our key ones.
"We spent some money to guarantee this and now we just have to improve a little bit, because we are in a very good position."
