"Has the season been a success or failure at club level? I think failure is a bit strong but you've got to be realistic and look at the big picture," said the skipper.
"We've finished the season without a trophy which hurts. But from a Liverpool point of view, a lot of progress has been made.
"We are getting really close to becoming champions. Our next two or three signings as far as we are concerned are crucial to push on and try and go one better than this year.
"I am certainly not sitting here proud of not winning a trophy."
