Liverpool fullback Flanagan: Last season must be no flash-in-the-pan

Liverpool fullback Jon Flanagan says there won't be dwelling on last season's success.

Champions League football was secured and Flanagan is already anticipating the start of competitive action next month.

"Last season was great but we move on now, that's gone," he told Liverpoolfc.com. "I think everyone, the fans and everyone around the club, just can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully we can have a great season.

"There's competition for places all over the place. Everyone is competing. It's fresh now and starts again; we've all got to go for it and hopefully we can have a successful season.

"At the end of pre-season, we want to come out of it with no injuries and all the team fit and ready to start with Southampton.

"Then push on and hopefully do well in the Champions League - everyone can't wait for that and the draw. The fans will be buzzing. It's exciting times for this club and hopefully we can have a great season."
