Jurgen Klopp has rarely enjoyed a Happy New Year as Liverpool manager.
The dismal 3-1 Premier League reverse at Brentford on Monday was merely the latest in a run of results that have seen the Reds begin the calendar in frustrating fashion.
Klopp's first experience of festive football in England set the tone in 2016, when goals from Michail Antonio and former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll earned West Ham United a 2-0 win on the Reds' last-ever league visit to Upton Park.
