Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is disappointed by the Reds failure to challenge for the Premier League title this season. The Reds are currently languishing in seventh spot, 12 points behind leaders Chelsea, after an indifferent campaign to date.
"It's frustrating to be where we are in the league now because this was meant to be the year where we were going to be right up there all the way through," said Gerrard.
"It would mean everything to win it. It's frustrating not to have it already and I've come close on a couple of occasions.
"I will continue to fight for the Premier League from now until I stop playing. Hopefully I can add it to my collection because it would round a fantastic career off.
"It would be extra special if I could do it as captain in the next couple of years. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be captain for - probably another two or three years. If not as captain, then hopefully I can still lift it as a Liverpool player.
"Now, though, it's important for us to try to get back up to the top of the table."
The 30 year old admits time is running out for him if he is to fulfil his dream of winning the title and bringing the championship back to Anfield for the first time since 1990.
"I've been around for 11 years and I'm getting towards the 30 years of age mark now, so I'm running out of time," added Gerrard. "I want to make the most of the next four or five years.
"I've still got many more ambitions and dreams that I want to fulfil before I finish."
