Glen Johnson has described Brendan Rodgers as 'very clever' for the signings he completed during the January transfer window, which the defender believes could boost Liverpool up the table next season.
The boss swooped for Johnson's England teammate Daniel Sturridge and Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho at the beginning of the year - with both making instant impacts at Anfield.
With just seven matches remaining in 2012-13, the 28-year-old expects the Reds to maintain their momentum and build a platform for the next campaign.
"Brendan has been very clever with the signings he's made and the squad is getting to where it needs to be," Johnson told Liverpoolfc.com.
"We've won six out of seven games at Anfield so if we can finish the season with a record very similar to that then that would put us in good stead for the start of the campaign at Anfield for next season.
"We're playing well at home, dominating games and picking up most points so the longer that continues the better.
"Then pick plenty more points up on the road and hopefully we'll be a fighting force again.
"Nine times out of 10 we're putting in good performances - we haven't always picked up the points but more times than not we've played well.
"Next season, if we can play well and pick up the points, we'll be a lot further up the table."
Liverpool welcomes West Ham to Anfield on Sunday in the Barclays Premier League, pitching the international defender against one of his former clubs.
