Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has dismissed talk of his old club being on the brink of dominating the Premier League.
While Souness believes this current group of Reds stars will be in the title mix for the next few years at least, he also knows that one title win won't automatically lead to another sustained period of supremacy.
The Scot said: “You can never say they will go into a period of dominance because you have to look at Manchester City – they will be around for a long time.
“There's the emergence of Chelsea 's youngsters too. Will they get better in the next few years?
"And Manchester United will be back, guaranteed. It's just a case of when.
“So you can't say Liverpool are going to dominate.
“But once you've won the first one, it does give you a taste to win it again. When I was there I was made to feel, 'This is what we do – win leagues'.
“That was the No.1 aim on the first day of the season, the league, not the European Cup. They felt that said more about you as an individual and a team."
