A new year is a time for new beginnings. A fresh start. Putting the past behind you and looking to the future.
That’s just as well really, because no one wants to dwell on what happened at Anfield.
Unai Emery summed it up neatly when he described that 5-1 defeat as “a bad experience, but an experience to learn from.” Our head coach knows better than anyone where and how we must improve if we want to compete with the best.
In the short term, we need a response against Fulham - ironically enough, a team we beat 5-1 in October.
That game featured one of the goals of the season, capped by an audacious finish from Aaron Ramsey.
Something along those lines would be just the tonic to kick off 2019.
You can relive that Ramsey goal right here, and you’re also in the right place for team news, classic goals, a test of your 2018 knowledge and an expert view of the opposition.
