"I'm getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again," said the Liverpool skipper. "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.
"And at the moment we have our work cut out fighting it out with Villa, Everton and Manchester City for fourth."
