Martin Skrtel believes Liverpool finally has a squad capable of competing at the top end of the Barclays Premier League.
The Reds have collected seven points from their opening three games and temporarily went top of the league this weekend.
Their latest victory against Bolton on Saturday was secured with record signing Andy Carroll on the bench, while a week ago Kenny Dalglish left Luis Suarez out of his starting XI for our trip to Arsenal.
For Skrtel this is an illustration of the strength within the squad.
"For this season we signed a few new players and we have a really strong squad now," the Slovakian told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It doesn't matter who is playing now. We have maybe 22 players and everyone can play in a game. That's very good and we can compare to the best teams in the Premier League.
"I can say we are playing in one of the best periods since I came to the club.
"We had a target at the start of the season. Now we'll just try to win every single game, get as many points as possible and qualify for the Champions League."
Skrtel scored his fourth goal for the Reds in Saturday's 3-1 win having previously netted against Tottenham, West Brom and Man City.
This after replacing the injured Martin Kelly to operate in an unfamiliar role on the right of a back four.
"I'm delighted because it's only my fourth goal for LFC, so I'm happy," he added.
"Right-back is not my position but if the manager needs me there, I'm happy to play there. It's quite different from playing in the middle but I'll be happy if I play every single game for the club - it doesn't matter which position! I will always try to do my best for the club."
Skrtel now departs for international duty hoping to collect his 50th cap versus the Republic of Ireland before a game against Armenia.
