Dirk Kuyt is desperate for Liverpool get themselves back in the Champions League next season. Their seventh-placed Barclays Premier League finish in the season just completed was the Reds' worst for 11 years, and their failure to progress from the group stages of the Champions League means Anfield will have a long wait before again playing host to Europe's elite club competition.
"Liverpool is a massive club. It's very disappointing that we don't have the Champions League because, up until last season, we had done so well in the competition," said the Holland international.
"But this is what has happened. We have just got to make sure that we will be right back in it next year.
"Players who want to play in the Champions League would like Liverpool.
"We just have to make sure that we will back in it within one year."
