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.”

Meanwhile, the Football Association are looking into the crowd disturbance and pitch invasion during Liverpool’s goalless draw at Hull City on Sunday. Hundreds of fans rushed on to the field at the final whistle and a number surrounded Steven Gerrard, who was seen to angrily push one away.

There were also minor skirmishes between the rival fans who were seen throwing objects at each other across one corner of the KC Stadium.

The FA are currently in the process of studying a report from officials and match delegates and will also request information from both clubs before deciding on their next course of action.
