Steven Gerrard is desperate to be involved in a genuine title challenge with Liverpool. And Gerrard says he has the belief that manager Rafael Benitez can deliver the championship to Liverpool for the first time since 1990.
But the Liverpool captain maintains that Benitez must have help from the board in the transfer market to make Liverpool stronger.
Gerrard has just witnessed Manchester United win their 10th Premier League crown and take their overall title haul to 17, just one short of Liverpool's all-time record. Liverpool finished 11 points adrift of United, and have just completed their second successive trophy-less season under Benitez.
Gerrard said: "Other teams are going to strengthen and become better sides, so it is important we do the same. There is a lot of money in the league - teams and squads will become stronger in the summer. It's important we do not fall away, we want to stay up there with the best."

Steve Gerrard is a great player. In my opinion he is one of the best soccer players to come out of England in the last 15 years.But he's wasting his time at Liverpool. In its present form, Liverpool will never win the Premiership title, that's for sure.
