RYAN Christie played down the notion of seeking revenge when Liverpool come to town this weekend, insisting Cherries have “completely forgotten about” their 9-0 humiliation at Anfield in August.
Tomorrow marks the first time Cherries will have faced Jurgen Klopp’s Reds since the Premier League record-equalling loss, in what proved to be Scott Parker’s final game in charge.
Both sides go into the fixture in contrasting moods. Gary O’Neil’s side slipped to the bottom of the Premier League table after their heartbreaking loss at Arsenal last weekend, while Liverpool crushed rivals Manchester United 7-0, to move up to fifth.
Klopp’s side have registered five consecutive clean sheets in the league as they try to rescue a disappointing season.
Asked if revenge was on the mind ahead of facing Liverpool again this weekend, Christie told the Daily Echo: “To be honest, that game is probably dead in our memory.
“You kind of park that a long time ago. We’ve completely forgotten about it, so it’s completely fresh going into next week for us.
“Back to playing at home and a chance to hopefully get some points on the board.”
The 28-year-old has struggled for game-time in recent weeks, coming off the bench for eight minutes at Emirates Stadium after three successive matches as an unused substitute.
