"We always say this every year, but it will be an important summer because we need to keep the momentum," said Gerrard.
"The manager's signings will be important as they always are. I've been lucky as a footballer, and I've won more things that most players, but I'm greedy because I always want more - I want to win as many trophies as I can with Liverpool. That is why the summer is important.
"We are a young team with a lot of promise and if the manager can get the right support then we could take an important step forward.
"We are disappointed we didn't maintain a challenge in the league for longer than we did - the points gap between us and the top two isn't particularly pleasant viewing for anyone here at Anfield. The boss is on record as saying he wants some players, and if we get some of the ones he wants then if they can have the same impact that guys like Fernando Torres, Martin Skrtel and Ryan Babel have had this year we'll have taken a step forward.
"I think there is a hell of a lot more to come from us."
