Top four a priority for Carragher

(GSM) – Jamie Carragher says Liverpool will focus on regaining a top four position next season. The Reds’ season was a disappointing one as they finished in seventh place which eventually left them out of Champions League football.

Tottenham’s forcing their way into a top-four position came at the expense of Liverpool. But Carragher thinks the Reds should now focus on regaining their Champions League status.

Manager Rafa Benitez is unlikely to have the funding which can make Liverpool a title-challenging side and Carragher knows the Anfield club cannot raid the transfer market and must build a strong team over time.

The England stopper said in The People: “Clubs like Real Madrid and Inter Milan can just throw £100million at new players if they don’t win the title.

“But Liverpool can’t do that. We have to build. We can’t just raid the transfer market.

“Next season, rather than thinking too much about the title, we have to concentrate on getting back in the top four.”
