Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, has set his target as qualifying past the round of 16 at this season's UEFA Champions League campaign.
The 34-year-old midfielder, who won the prestigious trophy in 2005, has also warned his teammates that they need to go past the Champions League round of 16 at least after the club returned to Europe's elite.
Gerrard admitted that he felt envious of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal - teams that participated in Europe in recent years.
Knowing fully well that his Anfield side are not amongst the favourites, Gerrard says he is now determined not to have to feel envious again.
"When you aren't involved, there is a big jealousy," Gerrard told the Daily Mail.
"It's the best competition to play in at club level. There's a hole there when you are out of it.
"We understand that we are not one of the favourites. There are some big hitters that people will be tipping to win it, but the message from me, as captain of this team, is that we are not making up the numbers. No way.
"We have got such a big advantage over two legs, with Anfield, that other teams haven't got. Let me tell you right now: you come to Anfield, you're getting a terribly hard 90 minutes. And we are going to make it even harder for you.
"I've got a lot of confidence in Brendan and in the squad. If we go out in the group stages, or the last 16, we will be majorly, majorly disappointed. We want to progress. We want to go as far as we can.
"This can't be a one-off. This can't be, 'Isn't it great where we are?' This isn't a reward for finishing second last year. This is where Liverpool should be -- and should be consistently. It's the responsibility of myself and the players to give it our best crack.
"When you are consistently getting to the latter stages and popping up in finals, it was such an unbelievable achievement. But I've got confidence that might not be too far away, if the owners continue to back Rodgers as they have done."
