Jamie Carragher accepts it will be 'difficult' for Liverpool to win the Premier League title during his career.[LNB] The Reds were runners-up in the league in the 2008-09 campaign but saw the club capitulate last season as they ended up seventh in the table - their worst league finish in over a decade.[LNB]Carragher, who penned a new two-year deal at the club this week, admits expectations within the Anfield camp have altered after a turbulent 18 months both on and off the pitch.[LNB]And the Liverpool vice-captain is hoping, rather than expecting, his team will end their 21-year wait for a domestic crown during his playing days ahead of Sunday's home clash with Blackburn.[LNB]"We're realistic enough to know where we are as a club now," he told the News of the World.[LNB]"I've got to believe the new owners will turn it around in the two-and-a-half years I've got left to the extent that Liverpool can win the title, but I'm realistic enough to see how difficult that will be.[LNB]"People have been talking about the league with me and Stevie (Gerrard) for years, but the first ambition now is to just get us up in the table competing again and hopefully winning some more trophies.[LNB]"At least now the ownership is sorted out it promises stability in the long-term.[LNB]"If the success is not going to return during my time as a player, I will be happy if the new owners rebuild the club to a position where it might happen not long after.[LNB]"I may not be out there playing, but no-one will be happier for the supporters than me when Liverpool win the league again."
