Former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie Savage thinks that Steven Gerrard should be under no illusions that Liverpool are going to win the Premier League during his career.
The 31-year-old recently admitted that it would be "hugely disappointing" if he were to finish his career without a league winner's medal.
"I'd love to see Liverpool really fighting for the title again," Savage wrote in The Mirror. "Their fans, their manager and the likes of Jamie Carragher deserve it.
"But they are £200m of top-quality talent off the pace at the moment and if they don't finish in the Champions League places this season - and after draws to Norwich and Swansea, there's no guarantee they will - they won't even be in the market for the very best.
"Instead they'll be spending over the odds again on the equivalents of Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing, none of whom would get in United, Chelsea or City's first teams."
The Reds continue with their league campaign with a battle against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
