Dirk Kuyt: "We must learn 09-10 lessons"

The Reds ended 2009-10 in seventh position following their final day goalless draw at Hull City.

Though European football is secure for next term, Kuyt accepts mistakes will have to be rectified if the newspaper headlines are to make happier reading in 2010-11.

"It has been a hard season and we did everything to change things," said Kuyt.

"Up until 10 days ago, we were fighting for a trophy but it didn't happen. 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."

Kuyt also refused to blame uncertainty regarding the ownership of the club for what has happened on the pitch.

"Every player is interested in what is going on but, if I am honest, I can't blame that side of things for some of our performances," he said.

"We tried to stay focused with things on the pitch - that's what I did, as did everyone else. We just couldn't make good things happen for the club."
