Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard hopes new signings over the summer will ensure that the team can once again compete at the top of the Premier League.
After failing to qualify for the Champions League last season, the Reds have now been unable to reach the Europa League following their sixth-placed finish this term.
But Gerrard believes his side, who have had a resurgence under the guidance of manager Kenny Dalglish since January and following the additions of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, could become a dominant force again.
"It makes me feel very enthusiastic about next season. If we can maintain the form we've had recently, get our injured players back fit and playing, and bring a few top quality signings through the door, you never know what might happen," Gerrard said, according to The Mirror.
"With the belief we have running through the squad, and with the outstanding players we already have, we know we can approach every game with a great chance of coming out on top."
For now, however, Gerrard remains cautiously optimistic of the club's recent form under Dalglish, insisting that a lot of work still needs to be done.
He added: "When you are playing good football, it gives you confidence to have the bottle to press high up and win the ball back, and that has been the key for us. The danger of course, is becoming complacent.
"We can't believe we are suddenly fantastic, because even though we have improved, there is an awful lot of work ahead if we are to genuinely mix it with the teams at the top. But with top quality signings, who knows what we can do."
