The Reds have seen a campaign that started with much promise wither away and now face a battle to secure fourth place, and while the Champions League still offers potential silverware Gerrard concedes even that is not good enough.

He told the LFC Magazine: "In the position we find ourselves now, fourth is the least that is acceptable. But we have bigger ambitions than that."

He added: "The only way we can fulfil those ambitions is in the Champions League. And I am not going to pretend that even winning that trophy - and we are a long way away from it at the moment - will make up for the disappointment of the league campaign.

"I'm getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again.

"We can't keep talking about next season all the time. There are only so many times you can say it and believe it. Sooner or later we have to make one season the season we make it happen and do the talking on the pitch.

"We need to make people believe it. I'm 27 now, I don't want to be talking about `next season' for Liverpool when I'm 32.

"We've got the stadium, the fans, the manager and the players to compete for the Premier League. But we have no chance of doing that if we are always well out of it by the first week in January."

Gerrard finds it a disappointing state of affairs considering the side began the season among the favourites to win the Premier League.

He said: "I'm pretty gutted every time I look at the table and see the gap between us and Arsenal at the top, and even the gap between us and second and third."
