Steven Gerrard says he has been "blown away" by the mental strength shown by Liverpool's players during their title pursuit, describing them as "monsters".
The current Rangers boss was prolific during his playing days at Anfield, winning the Champions League and Uefa Cup alongside multiple FA Cup and League Cup crowns.
However, the Premier League title famously alluded Gerrard.
Liverpool are set to win their first domestic league title for 30 years this season should the coronavirus crisis not lead to the campaign being rendered null and void, with the league leaders sitting 25 points ahead of Manchester City in second.
Gerrard - who has heaped praise on current club captain Jordan Henderson for his involvement in the Premier League #PlayersTogether campaign - believes the Reds still have room to improve.
“They just seem to be getting better and stronger every single year,” Gerrard told Sky Sports.
“I think the one key thing that has blown me away from when I played, what they seem to have now is mental strength across the board.
“We used to have some really good professionals and mentally strong players in our squad but now it seems that from No1 in the squad to player 26, mentally they’re all monsters and are all on the same page.
“To have a squad that has that mentality, I’m really excited to watch them in the coming years because I think they have a fantastic opportunity to become a really successful Liverpool team, and that’s what we all want as Liverpool fans.
“They’ve been phenomenal for a few years now. I thought they were very unlucky last year not to be champions. That was just down to how good Man City were.”
Liverpool have won 27 of their 29 Premier League games to date in 2019-20, losing just once.
