Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says Liverpool need to spend big this summer to challenge again next season.
Scholes is a big fan of how Brendan Rodgers has got his side playing but still believes they need three new additions to fight the big boys again.
He is quoted by the Daily Star: "Defensively Liverpool were poor - conceding 50 goals - but they can be contenders again next year if they can get two world-class centre halves and a left-back.
"I'm talking about players of the standard of Jaap Stam and Rio Ferdinand. That quality is difficult to find.
"Last season, I didn't take notice of Liverpool as contenders until six or seven games to go of the Premier League.
"Only then I thought they genuinely had a chance of winning the title.
"Ultimately they fell short but the thing I admired most was the swagger of their play and how they terrorised opponents, which reminded me of United at their best."
