Dirk Kuyt says it's important Liverpool learn from this season's failings.

While most Liverpool fans and people connected with the club will be happy to see the back of a dreadful 10 months, Kuyt stressed it was important not to gloss over the failings too quickly.

"It has been a hard season and we did everything to change things," said the 29-year-old.

"You can say we have to forget what has happened but, really, we have to learn from the mistakes we made.

"We've got to push next season and be bouncing from the start."
